The rest of the story comes from my post on this thread.

Aren Smith left Winterhold in 4E 196 after being expelled from the College of Winterhold, and his mother had died from rockjoint when their house fell down during a blizzard. After hearing there was another college somewhere in Markarth, he headed for the city. little did he know, the college was The Imperial College of The Voice. during his time there, he learnt many ways of the thu'um, and gained an ablility to absorb the souls of dragons. after he graduated, he remembered there were relatives of his living in helgen. when making his way there, with some soldiers in blue uniforms, to inform them of his family's loss, he was mistaken for a stormcloak and sent to helgen to be executed.
