Any kind of roleplay background for your character?: Balamus Othren was a refugee from Morrowind who lived in the Grey Quarter of Windhelm. After learning some novice spells from a kind Dunmer elder, Balamus enrolled in the College of Winterhold. Sometime becoming Arch-Mage, he grew restless and resigned. He left Winterhold on a pilgrimage to the Shrines of Azura and Boethiah.

Balamus gained the favor of Azura and Boethiah and recieved the Star and Ebony Mail. He left the shrines with Aranea Ienith to Whiterun Hold. They faced a dragon which Balamus managed to kill and absorb the soul of. He was summoned by the Greybeards to learn the Thu'um and combat the dragon menace.

After joining the Blades and defeating Alduin, Balamus was met with cultists of Miraak which forced Balamus to travel to Solstheim.

After defeating Miraak, which he only actually killed by Balamus because Balamus saw him as a threat, Balamus continued to work with Neloth. After doing a number of quests for Neloth, Balamus travelled back to Skyrim. He decided to head to the Imperial City of Skyrim, Whiterun, and convert people to the worship of Azura, Mephala and Boethiah.

Once they reached Whiterun, Balamus investigated rumors of intrigue in the Jarl's family. He met the Whispering Door and recieved the Ebony Blade, the Leech of Mephala. Balamus and his companions travelled to the Rift Hold where he met a small group of Dunmer pilgrims.

He was inspired by the Dunmer pilgrims and his group of companions to take control of Riften. Followers of the Reclamations and people who worshipped the Dragonborns of the Eras flocked to Riften and proclaimed him King of Riften, which was later renamed Gadave.

Balamus Othren's family and companions became known as the Great House Balamus.
