Echolor was born to a poor Altmer family living in a Nordic village on the outskirts of skyrim. The village was rather devout in its Talos worship, as were Echolor;s parents, which is why the were not outcasts of the community. One stormy night, the Thalmor's purge of Talos worship found its way to Echolor's village, and it was burned to the ground. After watching his father being put to the sword by the Thalmor, Echolor was unfortunate enough to see his mother burn when their home was torched by Thalmor mages. Echolor was lucky to survive, but he lost his eyes to the flames and his face was scarred in the flames.

The next morning, a wandering Breton mage was investigating the wreckage of the town, hoping for survivors. He found one, a young High Elf unconcious under the rubble of his home. The mage took Echolor to his home, a Imperial settlement near Windhelm. The mage taught Echolor magic, and gave him the name Echolor Blind-Eyes. The mage's keen sense of magic let him see the magical talent of Echolor, and so he taught Echolor to see without his eyes, to sense the aura of those around him. And so Echolor's dead eyes took on a glow that made them further stand out from his permanently blackened face.

This life, however, could not last. With the Stormcloak rebellion on the rise, Imperial villages were no longer safe. A band of Stormcloaks rode through the town, cutting down anyone who opposed them. Echolor's adoptive father was killed protecting his family. That day Echorlor swore a vow, to slay those who had taken all he had: the Thalmor, who took his first family, and the Stormcloaks, who had taken his second.

What was left of the mage's family escaped to Cyrodil, where they lived a simple life of farming. Echolor had little time for magic, but his ability to sense life gave him a green thumb unmatched in any land. As Echolor grew older, he sensed a time had come. His enemies in Skyrim had grown bold in careless. Now was his chance to bring them down. He gathered what few belongings he had and set out for the border. Little did he know, sensing the enemy doesn't always mean you can outrun them.
