Kylharn is a male Bosmer born on the first of Sun's Dawn in 4E 183. Over the years, Kylharn was trained in archery by his father, a Bosmer warrior, in hopes that he would one day become a warrior. Because of this, when he was 16 years old, he and a group of other young, prospective warriors were taken to the Summerset Isles by the Thalmor for a short time in an effort to convince them to join the Aldmeri Dominions forces in the future.

Over time, Kylharn became disgusted with many of the stipulations of the Green Pact, mainly the cannibalistic requirements following battle. This distaste for a central part of Bosmer culture mixed with the purges carried out by the Thalmor in Valenwood, Kylharn started north in late 4E 200.

Using his hunter skills and knowledge of plants and herbs, Kylharn dwelt in the wilderness of Cyrodiil for many months, occassionally making a trip into a city to sell his wares of potions or the hides from his game. However, during a visit to Bruma, a deranged veteran of the Great War recognized him as a Mer and began shouting insults and eventually attacking Kylharn. Kylharn retaliated and gravely injured the Imperial, but was arrested by the town guard and imprisoned

It was during this time that he found out of just how many Mer he drew the ire of back in Valenwood. Through a fellow prisoner he heard roomers of Bosmer assassins searching for a young Wood Elf. Many of the more hardline religious discovered his violation of the Green Pact and had been making efforts to hunt him down. Because of this, Kylharn decided the he had to escape. Kylharn managed to pick the lock on his cell door, but was only able to grab his simple bow and a quiver with a few arrows before fleeing from the guards. Kylharn decided to travel into the Jeralls in order to put as much distance between him and those who wanted him dead as possible.

He managed to cross the mountains but found that he walked right into an Imperial Legion ambush on a group of Nord seperatists. Fortunately, these Imperials didn't seem to be aware of his previous arrest in Cyrodiil, which was most likely not well documented, but was still in deep trouble.

He was taken to Helgen to be executed although he was not a documented prisoner. Fortunately for the Wood Elf, at least from a certain point of view, a dragon attack interrupted the execution. Kylharn was able to escape Helgen, retrieving his bow in the process, with the assistance of an Imperial Legionnaire and was free to do as he saw fit in Skyrim.
