Tiberius Decimus Virilus: Last Dragonborn, Hero of the Legions, Renegade of the North.

As the Great War raged on the Aldmeri armies all but overwhelmed the thin spread Legions in Cyrodiil. In the chaos lied a semi wealthy family Legionaire ethos. A 17 year old Tiberius worked his family villa with his uncle, a retired Legionaire. "One more year," Tiberius thought day and night,"One more year and I can take up arms, just like my forefathers before me."

On a morning that would haunt the man's mind for the rest of his life, an Imperial messenger came to the family villa baring news for Tiberius's mother and father. Both of them, killed in a heroic last stand against the Aldmeri Dominion. The messenger tells of how both of them slaughtered wave after wave of Dominion soldiers in an effort to cover the retreat of their comrades. The soldier then spoke of how the Elves mutilated the bodies in celebration of their victory and sent them back to the Legion's camp. Tiberious's heart sank with rage that day.

Only weeks passed after the grim news that Aldmeri soldiers come to the country side to seek food and supplies. As the Aldmeri approached the villa Tiberius and his uncle, Proximo, sought the servants to safety and prepared to make a stand. A dozen fell fell to the two but numbers won the day. Proximo was beheaded in front of Tiberius, who the Aldmeri left alive to tell of their wrath, and the servants of the house were slaughtered. As the ancient house of Virilus burned Tiberius swore vengeance upon that day.

Tiberius lied to the Legion about his age and fell into their ranks. He spent 15 weeks being forged into a soldier under the merciless crack of a doctore's wip. Tiberius's ferociousness in the last two years of the war was legendary. He was commended for his bravery many times and was famed for a Thalmor commander. He fought with seering hate during the war. He saw the Imperial City fall and the battle of the Red Ring. Tiberius's tenure in the Legions did not stop with the Elves. Tiberius continue his career, fine tuning his skills until he was an artisan soldier. He killed bandit marauders from Elsweyer, corsairs in High Rock, and witnessed the Hlaalu massacres by the other Dunmer first hand. These events forged a cold, ruthless calculating man. After 20 years Tiberius put his armor and weapons away for a simpler life life in the Colovian hills. But the fight was not ready for him to leave. Tiberius lived a happy life with his wife, Claudia, and his son Trebius. He worked his vineyard and trained his boy in the ways of fighting that he so mastered over the years. But, one event would change the course of his life like never before. Tiberius visited the Skingrad markets to gather goods for his family. Out of the blue a Bosmer approached him and told him of how General Tullius of the 4th wished to speak to him, a message he chose to dismiss as his days with the Legions had long passed. The Bosmer pleaded for his attention and told him of how a Thalmor politician sought revenge for the death of his son, the commander that Tiberius was famed for killing. His heart sank as realized the danger he and his family were now in and rushed back to home. Upon returning he was welcomed to an all too familiar sight, the charred remains of his home. This time, however, it was the lives of Claudia and Trebius that were stolen from him. The Thalmor Justiciars moved to apprehend him but were easily brutally killed by the rage filled former soldier. The messenger rode into the farm stead and Tiberius cradled the lifeless boby of his wife and staring long at what remained for his son. There were no tears, only hate, rage, and a longing for cruel vengeance once again. The small messenger pleaded with with man to flee north and seek out Tullius. He knew that the Thalmor were looking for him and his family was but a play to draw him out. He gathered what remained of his supplies and set out north to ancient land of Skyrim.

TIberius moved north with the stealth that he learned during his few years as an Imperial scout. Evading several Thalmor patrols along the way. As he finally the border he was set upon by a group that had been pursuing him for a week. Half of them had been slowly picked of by the renegade's one man ambushes. As Tiberius ran and evaded patrols until the Thalmor eventually drove their target to point break exhaustion. TIberius to bound and delivered to an Imperial patrol who had recently taken a clutch of Stormcloaks. The Thalmor told the Imperials that Tiberius was a murderer on the run from Cyrodiil and showed the soldiers false wanted posters. The Imperials threw the unexpected prisoner into a cart. Before they departed one of the Thalmor mages climbed in an knelt beside Tiberius. "You humans should really learn you place in this world. On your knees." The Thalmor hit Tiberious across the head, knocking him out instantly.

Sorry this one was so long guys. I was bored and figured that I'd treat you with a good story. :)
