Vignar Greymane on the other hand, way too tanned for an avarage Nord. However, that could have been because he used to be a General in Imperial Legion for many years. Quite possible that he was stationed in Cyrodil, or anywhere in the sought of Empire. That could explain his tanned skin color, almost Redguard like skin color, even though he is actually a Nord. Notice, that I am not trying to say that Vignar is not a Nord, I know for sure he is. I hope you can understand what I am trying to say.

Edit: I do appologise for stating something so quicly. I just looke up Battle Borns on wikia and it seems like it is true, atleast as far as wiki goes. Mother of Battle Borns is an Imperial Elder, maybe it's a mistake, maybe not. Anyone knows for sure? Here's the part from her article that states that she is an Imperial.

Bergritte Battle-Born is an Imperial living in the city of Whiterun. Race genetics in Skyrim seem to be extremely complicated. That could be one reason why you cant have your own babies in Skyrim. Because it's to complicated to program into a game. You could go into a child race menu and choose what your child looks like.
