The Red Ghost was once a typical young Breton girl who lived in the city of Kvatch in Cyrodiil. One day when playing in the street she found a glassy black shard in the shape of a crescent. She thought it was beautiful so she made a necklace out of it and wore it everyday. If only she knew that the shard was a piece of the Oblivion gate that was responsible for the siege on Kvatch during the Oblivion crisis. Keeping it close to herself for an extended time allowed Mehrunes Dagon himself to gain control over the girl and whisper to her his twisted commands.

Her first command was to murder her own family and flee Kvatch. She spent years in the wilderness murdering travelers and taking what she needed in order to survive and to obey the voice in her head. Settlements across Cyrodiil have wanted posters dubbing her the Red Ghost for her long and tattered blood soaked robes. Many doubted her existence because very few survived their encounter with the bloody headsman axe wielding phantom.

Once the Red Ghost began attacking homes inside the Imperial City leaving entire families slaughtered inside their own living rooms, the Imperial guard decided that the Red Ghost needed to be stopped immediately. They escalated the priority of stopping the Red Ghost to near the top of their list. Through an increase in patrols they finally managed to track down the Red Ghost's hideout and chase her out of Cyrodiil where she was finally captured in Helgen.

All was according to plan though for Skyrim was where the next step in Mehrunes Dagon's plan is to occur. It is what all those years of murders was leading up to. The assassination of the Emperor. Oh and in the playthrough I skip all the dragonborn stuff, she's not the dragonborn.
