Here is mine: Holfdir was a Nord who was raised in Cyrodiil, but he soon left to go live with his father in Vvardenfell. When his father began to become ill, he told him a secret. They were once a proud house in the province of Skyrim. So, following the destiny started by his father's lineage, he left Morrowind to go and try to regain his footing in Skyrim. But, as fate may have it, the Thalmor did not forget the cruelty his line had shown to elves. When they saw him get entangled in the Imperials' ambush of the Stormcloaks, they used a long-thought forgotten magic to erase his memory. Thus, this secured them a chance to get him legally executed without any questions. That was, of course, before a dragon attacked the town of Helgen.
