The backstory I go with is that my Khajiit's family had wandered to Skyrim through Cyrodiil from Elsweyr over generations. His family were involved in traveling caravans and trading with dreams of opening a store somewhere. He grew up disgruntled at the prejudice against his species from Nords not allowing him in most city's walls and also the trading scene so he spent most of his youth with an axe in hand, chopping firewood to calm his anger. Eventually, he grew to dream of opening his own sawmill and hunting when business got slow. As soon as he was old enough, he began traveling around chopping firewood wherever work was needed, usually leaving as he was often given one septim per load while seeing Nords get 2 or 3 or else ripped off. One night after returning to a tavern to rent a bed after having a few drinks, a Nord started bugging him calling him "Cat" and calling him a skooma peddler. This lead to a brawl where the man went to cast a spell with an orange glow. Having seen flames shoot from hands once before, the Khajiit quickly mauled the man's face with his claws. The Imperials carted him off blaming him and sided with the Nord who swore he had surrendered in the brawl and was simply trying to cast a heal spell. Blinding the man, he was thrown in prison. While in jail, a seasoned theif was left in the next cell and taught him the basics of using his claw to lockpick the door. After breaking himself and the thief out, the two went to flee, when the thief tripped him up at the site of the guards figuring (rightfully so) that the two guards would go after the stumbling Khajiit rather than the man. The Khajiit's sentence was quickly changed to death.
