Name: Fenris

Race: Nord

Class: Jack of All Trades

Age: 29

Gender: Male

Backstory-  He was born in Cyrodiil, on the outskirts of Bruma, the son of a local blacksmith, when his family was murdered by a group of bandits. Sometime later, a traveler passed by his family's ravaged hut and searched for survivors, but found only a newborn child. He took the child to a nearby chapel where he was given the name Fenris, and hoped that the priesthoods teachings would rub off on him as he grew up.

Life in an Imperial chapel was difficult for Fenris, as he, a Nord, wanted to be an adventurer. The priests didn't wouldn't allow this, and when he turned fourteen, Fenris ran away from the chapel. Fate was not kind to him, and soon he found that there was good money to be made as an assassin and thief. He also found that he possessed some talent for Illusion and Destruction magic. However, where he truly thrived, was as a freelance mercenary and bounty hunter, as his Nordic warrior prowess allowed him to fight with great skill with a greatsword.

Eventually, there came a time when a local nobleman in Chorrol became interested in hiring Fenris as a soldier for his private army. So, after tracking him down, Fenris accepted the nobleman's offer, and became a glorified bodyguard. This lifestyle would prove... short-lived. Sometime passed when it was discovered that Fenris and the nobleman's daughter were having an affair, and upon this revelation, the nobleman sent assassin's after Fenris' head, only for them to be reported dead. This is when Fenris was only twenty-one.

Months passed, and it was discovered that the nobleman's daughter was with child. The nobleman, having to keep his reputation intact, ordered her and the child be assassinated under the guise of complications at birth. When word of this reached the ears of Fenris, he assaulted the nobleman's estate, murdered the nobleman's surviving family, slaughtered his guards, and left the nobleman screaming in agony as he burned down his manor.

Naturally, within the course of a few weeks, just about everyone in Cyrodiil had heard of the "Ravager of Chorrol" and his burning of the nobleman's manor, so Fenris decided to lay low until the talk died down. Eventually, Fenris fell into a deep depression, and became a heavy drunk. This lasted for five years, at which point he decided to shed his drunkeness, having heard rumors of the Stormcloak rebellion and the Thalmor,  and travel to the homeland of his ancestors: Skyrim. So for a few months, he worked to build up some coin to prepare for the journey.

Finally, we end the prologue of Fenris' tale, and arrive at the greatest point of his life. You all know how it begins, but only I know how it will end.
