Wulfharth "Wulf" Fenrissen was born in the year 150 of the Fourth Era, in the small Falkreath settlement of Granite Hill. shortly after he Wulf was born, his uncle, Bjarne passed away after succumbing to Yellow Fever. Wulf's father inherited a small wealth and the family home from his brother and moved the family southwards into Bruma. Wulf's father set himself up as a merchant and tried to ensure that Wulf could get what he couldn't, and education. As Wulf grew older, his father trained him to take over the shop when he was old enough, but Wulf's ambitions lay elsewhere. Wulf wanted to be a Legionaire.

Wulf's father had employed an altmeri servant called Volanaro, who had served their family since the disbandment of the mage's guild, leaving him with little availbale work. When Wulf was ten, Volanaro took him into the County capital and showed him a statue. The statue was of a large man, he had the look of a breton. he was clad in Legion armour and was weilding a blades katana, roaring furiously. Volanaro told Wulf that the statue was dedicated to the Champion of Cyrodill, who saved Bruma from complete destruction in the Third Era. he had gathered warriors and Companions-in-arms from all over Cyrodill to defend the city against the forces of Mehrunes Dagon. it was at this point, that Wulf decided that he would be a Legionaire. he would join the legion and fight to defend the people of the Empire.

on the 30th of Frostfall, 4E 171, his chance came. When Wulf was twenty-one, the Great War broke out. Men of fighting age and ability from all over the Empire were called to service in defense of their Empire. Many young men from Bruma were dispatched northwards to SKyrim to join with the Legions in Skyrim. Wulf was trained to be a soldier, and he excelled in training, but no amount of training wouldn prepare him for what he would face. 2 years after the start of the war, the Skyrim Legions were called southwards to bulk the Imperial army in the Capital, the Imperial City. but by the end of that year, the Aldmeri forces had surrounded the city, with only the northern supply route from Bruma still open. the following year, the Aldmeri had completely surrounded the city and began an all-out assault on the capital. Titus Mede II fought his way out of the city and met with reinforcements from Skyrim. the Capital fell to the Dominion and the infamous Sack of the Imperial City had begun.

It was at this point, that Wulf knew that he had to get out of the war. Wulf fled with a handful of other deserters northward into Skyrim. Wulf had begun living rough in the Falkreath Woods on his way back to Granite Hill, only to find the settlement abandoned. Wulf met with a deserter from the reach, called Cortoran and joined up with him for a while. as the two men headed closer to Markarth they began to hear rumours along the roads of Forsworn activity in the City. Cortoran parted ways with Wulf before this point, but before he got to the city, Wulf was ambushed by a group of warriors on the road. the men were former guardsmen from Markarth, who had joined up to fight against the forsworn who had recently seized control of the city.
