Name: Cichol

Race: Argonian

Age: 29

Backstory: Cichol was once a dockworker in Riften. His family members, living in an old shack on the edge of Lake Honrich, were old, weak, and impoverished, incapable of doing any strenuous work to make some coin. His family harbored thoughts of suicide; Cichol caught wind of this, and thus took the liberty of spending what seemed like would be the rest of his life working very hard at the docks, making as much coin as he can. Favoring his family over himself, he gave most of his pay to them, and spent what he had left on enough food to get him by.

Early one morning, while Cichol's father was out for a stroll alongside the lake, an assassin shot his neck with a deadly poison arrow, immobilizing him, and soon after killing him. It was this day that, when Cichol found his father's lifeless corpse laying in the bushes, and being fed up with the poor wages for dockwork, Cichol decided to confront the Jarl directly, demanding racial equality. At the marketplace, his path was interrupted by a Nord man, named Brynjolf. He promised many riches in return for Cichol's service, and, in Cichol's desperation, he accepted. He spent weeks doing jobs for the Guild all over Skyrim, making lots of coin and finally allowing his mother to live a good life, despite the loss of her husband.

A chain of events involving the Thieves Guild, the Black-Briars, and bandit groups led to the reforming of the Nightingales, Nocturnal's loyal emissaries, to which he was admitted into. Harnessing the powers granted to him, he began his life as an assassin. Becoming a master smith quite quickly (a talent very rare among Argonians today), he forged himself powerful daggers, swords, and a bow. Binding them with powerful enchantments, a skill he had learned at the College of Winterhold in his early years alongside Destruction and Illusion magic (as he was fascinated by the arcane arts from a young age, and had a natural talent for it), he gave his mother what remained of his coin, bid her farewell, and set off.

In his silent rampage across Skyrim, murdering those who lack any form of respect for a fellow humanoid race, the Dark Brotherhood contacted him, and invited him into their 'family'. Seeing as this would only prove advantageous to his cause, he accepted, and carried out his assignments quickly and discreetly. Currently, there is now a plot to kill the Emperor of Tamriel, who will be arriving in Skyrim for Vittoria Vici's wedding in Solitude quite soon.
