Now for my Breton:

Taryn is a Breton born to a family of servants to the Cumberland merchant family in Wayrest, High Rock. He displayed prodigious magical talents at a young age, and when he came of age the family's patriarch Arnaud Cumberland pulled some strings in Cyrodiil to have him join the Synod to develop his talents. Taryn left after only three years, annoyed that the Synod focused more on currying favor and hoarding objects of power than instruction of magic.

He travelled Tamriel for years, seeking out any teachers of magical talents, from the Spinners of Valenwood, to the Tree-Minders of Black Marsh, to the Mabrigash tribes of Morrowind.

He was making his way to Skyrim to visit the College of Winterhold when he was captured near Darkwater Crossing with Ulfric Stormcloak and brought to Helgen.
