Braig

 was imprisoned in Cidhna Mine because he was caught speaking with Madanach. Braig's daughter, Aethra, begged the Jarl to take her instead. The Jarl's men decapitated Aethra in front of Braig, then sent him to the mine anyway. He reveals that his daughter would be 23 years old now.

Braig won't tell his story until Madanach instructs the player to speak with Braig.
