Josef Wood-weaver

Nord

imperial simpathiser

Though a half brother to ulfric stormcloak, he never knewn him as his brother. formed from the union of Ulfric's father and a servent, he and his mother were cast from skyrim when he was only a baby. growing up in Bruma, josef's mother told him that his father had died during the great war, the secret held from him for as long as she lived. Josef made a decent living as a blacksmith and carpenter. life was good for the situation they where in.

Before his mother passed, she conveyed to him the secret she had kept for so long. his father was the former Jarl of Windhelm. This was strange and angering to Josef at the same time. he saw his brother as a rebel who was using the civil war for personal gain. after his mother died, he sold his shop and set off for Windhelm. while crossing the border, he was attacked by bandit's. though fending them off, he took a blow to the head that cause him to lose all memory his life in bruma aside from his mother, her death and his trade. after travelling with a group of soldier that were in fact stormcloaks, he was captured by the empire and brought to be executed

He escaped execution, and began on a quest through skyrim. Through his journey he began to feel as if there was some larger purpose to his being there. Thinking his answer lied with joining the legion, he travelled to solitude. after only a brief time of service, he was tasked with carrying a message to windhelm. while in the palace of kings, he began to feel that he was meant to arrive here. he delivered the message and was off.

Later after rising to the rank of Legate, the legion was ready to move on Windhelm. The attack was not the worst part though. the feelings he had recieved throughout his journey only intensified as he approached the palace.upon entering, the sudden realization set in. Ulfric was family, and he had come to kill him. when the time came, he made the death quick, as he knew the others would not.

Now plagued by the sorrow of killing his brother, he travels skyrim, without a cause, helping everyone he can, hoping one day the divines will forgive him.
