Enrien Charmaine, Altmer male, about 44 years old.

Background:

Was taken to study and train under the supervision of the Thalmor from a young age. Known prodigy from a young age. He was more intelligent than many adults at the age of 5. He was exceptionally gifted in swordsmanship, magic, military tactics, strategies and espionage. He is known for his quick thinking and ability to predict other people's actions, strategies and results with frightening accuracy. Widely regarded by his instructors as a key asset to completely defeating the Empire.

He was instrumental in defeating the Blades in Summerset Isles, his strategems were responsible for the capture of almost all Blades. More than 20 years before the Great War started, he had predicted how the state of affairs would be like, the state of the Imperial Legion and even its deployment during the Great War up to 90% accuracy. Drafting a plan on how the Aldmeri Dominion can easily defeat the Empire. His plans accounted for practically every counterattacks and possible actions the Empire can take up till the Dominion captures Bravil in Cyrodiil and Southern Hammerfell.

However, in his draft he states that he needs to observe the Empire further to decide the next course of action, his Instructors were right, if Enrien was with the Aldmeri Dominion during the Great War... the Aldmeri Dominion could jolly well destroy the Empire with half of the forces it commits in half time and with almost no casualties.

Fortunately, his natural talents attracted great jealousy and hatred from his peers who were outdone by Enrien in everything and fear from his superiors that Enrien will eventually replace them. Predicting more than 10 years ago exactly when his Thalmor superiors and peers will attack him, without even realizing they have been set up... all his enemies within the Thalmor ended up in the dark confusing each other for Enrien, they ended up killing each other. While all these were happening, Enrien was already stowaway in a ship to Anvil.

Despite the years of brainwashing by the Thalmor, they never truly got to Enrien. If anything, Enrien was more annoyed by the Thalmor's constant propaganda.

Personality:

Enrien appears to be constantly deep in his thoughts, sometimes he would walk straight into a wall or pillar. This does not mean he is absent minded or unaware of his surroundings, he is extremely perspective of his surroundings and the reason why he would even walk into a wall is because he has completely forgotten its existence as it is completely 'safe' and not a 'threat' to him.

If anyone tries to lay a trap or attack him in any manner, they will learn first hand what his former Thalmor instructors comment about facing Enrien is like facing a constant danger as any and everything about you, your friends, foes, your surroundings, regardless if it is your greatest strength, greatest weakness, minor strengths/weaknesses or something that is so inconsequential that you don't even remember will end up becoming your enemy.

He is the worst possible enemy anyone can make as he will study everything about the person he wants to destroy down to the last detail such as which hand will you extend instinctively to open a door, what food you like to eat, drink, your favorite clothes etc...

Yet, he is extremely passive and difficult to be offended. After his departure from Summerset Isles and the Thalmor, his only concern is do whatever interests him at the moment. As a result, his personal strength of making extremely long plans with extremely high accuracy predictions became a pain as many of his well-thought out plans became abandoned because he lost interests in the subjects.

He based his decisions to having the most number of people left for trading and getting obstacles out of his way. While he does not shy from killing those who gets in his way, he prefers to manipulate the situation to get these people out of his way rather than putting a sword through their gut.

It is only a coincidence that Enrien heard about the Word Walls in Skyrim and became intrigued as the Thu'um reminds him about the Tonal Architecture he studied a while ago...

Fighting Style:

When push comes to shove and Enrien cannot avoid combat. Enrien has far too many skills at his disposal. He is a prodigal master swordsman, genius mage who is almost as strong as an Archmage, master of espionage and his most deadly asset is his brilliant tactics and strategies to amplify his skills further.

Accounts from an eye witness whom he saved from two dozens of Bandits confirms that he is incredibly fast and skillful. The battle ended almost in a blink of eye however, the witness said something ridiculous... "There were eight Enrien drawing art with his sword, it was beautiful... " In two blinks of the eyes, two dozen bandits only two survives. They were 'killed' by two flashes of light.

His magic and other skills were a mystery as no one lived to tell the tale. It was safe to assume he was equally strong in other areas as he was preparing to become an Archmage in Summerset Isles, youngest Archmage in that Mage's Guild!
