Name: Jean Francois Vauban (you can refer to him as Francois)

Race: Breton

Gender: Male

Age: 23

Appearance: Blonde hair (he bleached it). Has a pair of hazel eyes and is very fit and atheletic. Currently wearing Sorin's first armor, from the first thread, it is all black and provides good protection (not as good as Sorin's current armor, though)

Spells(Max 8): Chain Lightning, Thunderbolt, Sparks, Lightning rune, Mark, Recall, Close wounds and Invisibility.

Powers(Racial + 1): Dragonskin

Strengths: Similar skill with swords as Sorin, high efficiency with lightning spells, peak fitness, very agile and well trained. Can actually use a bow, unlike his vampiric compatriot. Efficient at using Stamina. Magic resist and (40%?)disease resist. Very strong intuition and senses

Weakness: Poisons (he's no vampire, he will be hurt by poison), inefficient with his non lightning spells and lightning rune, which means he can't spam them. Basically an inferior travesty of Sorin (Take Sorin and minus 25% to all stats, keep only one handed and destruction, add some to archery).

Equipment: Glass longsword, Sorin's first armor, a satchel of rations.

Faction/Role in Faction: Nightblade (Sorin's replacement. Sorin was kidnapped by his master from the Legion, possibly presumed dead. Alyssa will bawl her eyes out!)

Bio:

Francois was originally a Noble from High Rock, his rebellious behavior causing his parents much grief. They kicked him out when he was 12. He was picked up by his master, Toraak-Shiae, a Tsaesci spellsword who taught sword skills to a select group of pupils.

He climbed up the ranks extremely quickly, but always placed second, for Sorin Steelfang always beat him in combat. Master Toraak taught him how to use lightning and sword arts together to create unpredictable pattern changes, as well as counter all known and future sword forms. However, he swore an oath to never hurt innocents. Also, his master imparted to him battle analysis and tactics, so he might one day command a huge army.

After Sorin left (Sorin studied swordmanship only for two years to master it), Francois became the star pupil for a few years. He left at an age of 18 and enlisted with the Imperial forces. His skills caught the attention of his commander, who sent him to infiltrate the Black Guard and gather intel.

After learning a new set of spells, as well as carrying countless assassinations, Francois wanted to escape, for he had enough evidence to indict the Black Guard. Skyrim was the perfect place to do so, to escape to freedom. His opportunity was here...

(This also explains why all the Black Guard are no joke and can use lightning very efficiently, they indirectly utilize similar sword arts and magic as Sorin.)
