Early life
"Happiness can be found, even in the darkest hour, if you only remember to turn on the light."

- Jonard Goldbrand

Jonard Goldbrand was born in the village of Ivarstead in Skyrim, 4E 165, six years before the Great War. He along with his little-sister Juliana were raised by their parents, Baldorian and Arleen Goldbrand. Jonard learned many things from his father when he was a little child. Baldorian taught him how to wield a sword, learned him how to read and write, and lastly shared his knowledge of Nirn's history and the et'Ada. Jonard's father once told him "Love your family, honor your ancestors, and stand up for those who need help."

The Goldbrand Family can be traced back to Baldorian the Golden-Hand who settled in the Jerall Mountains near Orsinium back in 3E 399. There he built a great house only to be destroyed by an unknown enemy 50 years into the future. The family was known for their blonde hair and crystal-blue eyes. Therefor it was a shock for Baldorian and Arleen when Jonard was born, as he had brown hair, but the crystal-blue eyes remained fortantly. Unlike him, his sister Juliana gained both of their traits; long beautiful blonde hair and a pair of crystal-blue eyes.

Journey to Dragonstar
However, shortly before the Great War started, the Goldbrand Family decided to move to Hammerfell and leave everything behind in Skyrim.

His father Baldorian was a former Companion of Jorrvaskr who had many skills with swords, blocking and speechcraft. So on the journey to Hammerfell, the family didn’t have much to worry about as Baldorian also hired a guard for protecting his family and the wagon.

The family travelled through the border between Falkreath and Elinhir. When they arrived in Elinhir there were no place to live as there was no house or land for sale, so they passed through the city and continued to Dragonstar for a week and once there, the family lived for about 30 years (4E 201) and survived through the Great War. The family including Jonard saw the Redguards as heroes because of how they fought and drew the Thalmor away from Hammerfell without the other races help.

In 4E 199, Jonard's sister Juliana decided to leave their home and journey to the mysterious continent of Thras, as she was very fascinated by the Sloads and wished to learn more about them. The family said goodbye to her and left some weapons and supplies for her rather long journey. Jonard was deeply sadened, but respected his little sisters decision.

The Year of the Dragonborn
In 4E 201, three years after his sister left, Jonard decided to leave aswell and said goodbye to his old mother and father and decided to return home to Skyrim through the Elinhir/Falkreath border, but it was apparently closed for some unknown reasons said by the Redguards stationed there. Instead he travelled through the Cyrodill/Skyrim border and were captured by the Imperials along with the stormcloak rebels and their leader Ulfric Stormcloak.

Jonard found out that he was Dragonborn by Jarl Balgruuf the Greater and later became a known hero from Skyrim to Solstheim during that year.

Deeds
Jonard defeated Alduin in Sovngarde with the Ancient Nordic heroes. After the Alduin crisis, he helped the College of Winterhold against the Thalmor agent Ancano. After saving the College of Winterhold from Ancano, Jonard helped Kodlak getting to Sovngarde and cured Kodlak and himself from Lycantrophy.

After helping out Kodlak join Sovngarde, he destroyed the Dark Brotherhood by help of Commander Maro and ignored the Thieves Guild, letting them continue to rot in the Ratways.

Later in the 201th year of the Fourth Era, Jonard both saved Nirn from the Volkihar Clan and killed Lord Harkon to prevent the Tyranny of the Sun prophecy and saved the people of Solstheim from Miraak and Hermaeus Mora.

The young warrior have also helped countless of people throughout Skyrim to the island of Solstheim.

Equipment
Jonard uses an Skyforge Steel Sword called "Sword of the Horizon" along with a Banded Iron Shield. For armor he uses the Studded Armor, a couple of Iron Boots and a Iron Helmet. He also wears the Amulet of Talos and an enchanted silver ring called "The Might".

Thoughts on the Empire/Stormcloacks
Jon belives that the Empire died when Martin Septim sacrificed himself in the last moments of the Oblivion Crisis, the time when the Septim dynastry died out - and so its empire. From everything that has happen to Skyrim since then, he thinks that the Imperials have gone soft and lazy. Instead he agrees with the Stormcloaks who wish to secede from the Empire and become an independent kingdom. Even though the Thalmor are a big threat to Skyrim with a stormcloak victory, he doesn't worry too much about it.
