Bio Prior to the Dragon Crisis:

Soldin was born During the tail end of the Great War to a upper class Nordic family. When he was born his father was off serving with Ulfric Stormcloak and Galmar Stonefist. He was killed defending the Imperial CIty. His mother died soon after that. Both of his parents had died before his third birthday. Their housekeeper, a Dunmer Woman named Tadali Yasser, was given Soldin to take care of after the death of his Parents. Soldin grew up in the Gray Quarter of WIndhelm and although he was racially Nordic he grew up as a Dark Elf. Soldin spent much time in the Library and he enjoyed reading. When he was ten years old his mother was killed by a Windhelm Guard accusing her of kidnapping Soldin. She died right in front of him and out of fear he ran off and left the city. Just outside of the city he saw a caravan of Khajiit that took him in. He spent the next seventeen years traveling with the Caravan. He acted both as a guard and as a go between to the Nords of Skyrim. The Khajiit taught him many things like how to fight, hunt, steal, and talk his way out getting arrested when he was caught stealing. After 17 years with the Caravan he decided to settle down in Cheydinhal in Cyrodiil. Although Soldin grew up in Windhelm as a Dunmer he became exposed to Talos Worship during his travels through Skyrim. He came to worshipping Talos on the downlow. He set up a small store in Cheydinhal but the store across the street that was losing business to him accused him of Worshipping Talos. His store was searched by the guards and they found a small Shrine to in the back room. He was taken to a small prison outside of Cheydinhal. His Cellmate their was a horse thief named Lokir. THe two of them managed to escape and steal two horses so they may flee north to Skyrim. They crossed into Skyrim at Darkwater Crossing where they got caught up in a battle between the Stormcloak Rebels and the Imperial Army. The two were taken into custody and put on a cart with other prisoners of war including the leader Ulfric Stormcloak and a Stormcloak Officer named Ralof.
