Bio:



Prior to the Dragon Crisis:

Soldin was born During the tail end of the Great War to a upper class Nordic family. When he was born his father was off serving with Ulfric Stormcloak and Galmar Stonefist. He was killed defending the Imperial CIty. His mother died soon after that. Both of his parents had died before his third birthday. Their housekeeper, a Dunmer Woman named Tadali Yasser, was given Soldin to take care of after the death of his Parents. Soldin grew up in the Gray Quarter of WIndhelm and although he was racially Nordic he grew up as a Dark Elf. Soldin spent much time in the Library and he enjoyed reading. When he was ten years old his mother was killed by a Windhelm Guard accusing her of kidnapping Soldin. She died right in front of him and out of fear he ran off and left the city. Just outside of the city he saw a caravan of Khajiit that took him in. He spent the next seventeen years traveling with the Caravan. He acted both as a guard and as a go between to the Nords of Skyrim. The Khajiit taught him many things like how to fight, hunt, steal, and talk his way out getting arrested when he was caught stealing. After 17 years with the Caravan he decided to settle down in Cheydinhal in Cyrodiil. Although Soldin grew up in Windhelm as a Dunmer he became exposed to Talos Worship during his travels through Skyrim. He came to worshipping Talos on the downlow. He set up a small store in Cheydinhal but the store across the street that was losing business to him accused him of Worshipping Talos. His store was searched by the guards and they found a small Shrine to in the back room. He was taken to a small prison outside of Cheydinhal. His Cellmate their was a horse thief named Lokir. THe two of them managed to escape and steal two horses so they may flee north to Skyrim. They crossed into Skyrim at Darkwater Crossing where they got caught up in a battle between the Stormcloak Rebels and the Imperial Army. The two were taken into custody and put on a cart with other prisoners of war including the leader Ulfric Stormcloak and a Stormcloak Officer named Ralof.

Lokir attempted to flee upon exiting the cart but was taken out by Imperial Archers. The headsman was about to carry out the execution when a big black dragon attacked Helgen. In the confusion he escaped with Ralof. The two fled to Ralof’s hometown of Riverwood where they stayed with his sister Gerdur. Gerdur asks Soldin to go to Whiterun to request troops from the Jarl. Soldin then Travels to the city of Whiterun their he is tasked by the Jarl’s court wizard to retrieve the Dragonstone from Bleak Falls Barrow. There he learns his first shout, Unrelenting Force. Upon returning with the stone Soldin immediately has to go and fight a dragon at a Watchtower west of the city. He defeats the dragon and absorbs his soul. The other troops then tell him that he is Dragonborn. On the way back to the City the Greybeards call “Dovahkiin” from the peak of the throat of the world. Jarl Balgruuf of Whiterun grants him the title of Thane and sends him the High Hrothgar to answer the Greybeards summons. The Greybeards teach him to use the Voice and train him in the Way of the Voice. After a year of training they send Soldin to retrieve the Horn of Jurgen Windcaller, their founder. at the tomb of Jurgen Windcaller Soldin finds a note that replaced the horn. It directed him to the Sleeping Giant inn in Riverwood. There he meets Delphine who has been looking for a Dragonborn. To prove he truly is Dragonborn they go to kill a dragon. After killing the Dragon Delphine tells him he about the Blades. Delphine returns to Riverwood to come up with a plan while Soldin completes his training with the Greybeards

After escaping the embassy Soldin returns to Riverwood to give the intel to Delphine. She recognizes Esbern’s name and sends Soldin to Riften to search for him. Soldin starts with a “well connected” man named Brynolf after doing a task for him that involved planting evidence on one of Brynolf’s enemies he was pointed towards the deepest part of the Ratways. On the way through the sewers he runs into a small group of Thalmor. He kills them then continues to search for Esbern. He eventually finds him and after the reluctant old man finally allowed him in he reveals that Alduin’s return means the end of days. The two leave the Ratways with resistance from the Thalmor and make their way back to Riverwood. Back at the Inn Esbern reveals that the answer to defeating Alduin lies at Alduin’s wall in Sky Ruler Temple. The group goes out to the Karth River Canyon to find the Temple. After finding and accessing the temple they learn that a shout was used to defeat Alduin. Soldin heads up to High Hrothgar to ask the Greybeards to teach him the shout. They initially refuse citing their hatred of the Blades but eventually tell him that while they do not know it their master, Paarthurnax, might. Soldin travels to the very top of the mountain to meet the Dovah master of the Greybeards. He tells Soldin that the Elder Scrolls are needed to learn the shout used to kill Alduin. After locating the scroll’s location with the help of an eccentric wizard he tracks it to an old Dwemer Ruin called Blackreach. In Blackreach Soldin finds a tower that housed the scroll. He retrieves the scroll and heads back to the throat of the world. There he goes back in time using the scroll to learn the shout. After learning the Dragonrend shout Alduin Appears to fight Paarthurnax and Soldin. After a heated battle Alduin Flees to Sovngarde.

He asks to use Balgruuf's Palace as it was designed to trap a dragon. He agrees on the condition that a truce is made in the Civil War. Soldin calls Ulfric Stormcloak and General Tullius to High Hrothgar to settle and uneasy truce. Soldin then proceeds with the plan to trap the dragon Odahviing in Dragonsreach. After trapping Odahviing he agrees to take Soldin to the Portal and to serve him. After defeating the Dragon priest Nakrin Soldin used his Staff to open the Portal to Sovngarde. Their he teams up with the ancient Nord Heros that defeated Alduin before and killed Alduin Permanently.

Soldin was hailed as a hero by Skyrim’s population and both the Stormcloaks and Imperial Legion asked him to join them. He initially refused to take a side in the war.

He initially fought for the Stormcloaks as he felt that the Empire was not doing themselves or Skyrim any service by controlling Skyrim. Soon after though he walked through the neighborhood he grew up in, The Gray Quarter. After seeing how much worse it had gotten since he lived there he decided that Ulfric had to go and that he would officially defect to the Empire. The first major battle he took part in was Defending Whiterun from a Stormcloak Siege. After that the bulk of the fighting happened on the Eastern Front in Stormcloak Territory. The empire took fort after fort and gained control over the holds until Ulfric’s Army was backed into a corner, that corner being Windhelm. The Stormcloak army holled up inside of the Walls of the city. Soldin along with General Tullius led the invasion. Initially the Stormcloaks held the imperials back but then Soldin called in his old friend Odahviing which crushed the moral of the stormcloaks in addition to killing a lot of them. The Imperial army pushed further into the city until they reached the Palace of kings where Ulfric Stormcloak himself made his last stand. Ulfric was killed by Soldin’s thuum just as Ulfric had killed High King Torygg with his thuum.

Soldin himself was attacked while hunting in the plains of Whiterun. Soldin found out about a group of Vampire hunters called the Dawnguard. He went to their fort east of Riften and joined. Their he was told to go to a cave to find out what the Vampires are seeking. He found a girl named Serena entombed in the cave. He took her back to her home. It turned out that she was a member of the Vampire Clan Volkihar. As a reward for bringing his daughter home the clan’s leader offered him the “Gift” of Vampirism. Soldin refused and was allowed to leave with the warning that he was not to return. After returning to Fort Dawnguard Soldin told the leader about the castle. He was shocked and sent him to recruit some of his old friends. After recruiting both of the people and bringing them to Fort Dawnguard Serena turned up their to ask for Soldin’s help. The leader of the Dawnguard reluctantly allowed it and they set out to find a Moth Priest to help them read Serena’s Elder Scroll. After words they needed two other Elder Scrolls. Soldin had one leftover from the Dragon Crisis and the last one was revealed to be with Serena’s Mother. Soldin and Serena went back to Castle Volkihar and snuck in. They managed to open a portal to the Soul Cairn, a plane of Oblivion for lost souls. There they found Serena’s mother and her Scroll. After retrieving the scroll Soldin and Serena took them to Ancestor's Glade where Soldin read the Elder Scrolls. They revealed the location of Auriel’s Bow which was needed to defeat Harkon. The two delve into caves that eventually lead to the location of Auriel’s Bow. After retrieving the bow they took it to confront Harkon with the rest of the Dawnguard. After this the Vampire attacks subsided and Soldin continued his work with the Dawnguard for a time before settling down in a homestead in Falkreath. He started a family with a girl he met in Riverwood during the Dragon Crisis and they had two adoptive kids.

Soldin fought back and killed the mages. On their body he found a note that stated a man named Mirak ordered his death and that he was in Solstheim. In Solstheim he found a Temple to Mirak and a bunch of brainwashed locals restoring it. In the Temple he meets a woman from the Skaal tribe on the east side of the Island. The two of them discovered Mirak was behind all the people rebuilding the temple. Soldin uses a shout he learns on the Island to destroy the stone controlling the locals. Soldin destroys the rest of the stones on the island as well. He then sets out to find a black book to defeat Mirak. With the Help of a Dark Elf named Neloth. Soldin then travels in the plane of oblivion called Apocrypha where he learns the final word to the Bend Will Shout which he uses to defeat Mirak.
