Backstory: Skyrim is mourning the death of the Last Dragonborn. The Argonian that will live forever in legend had been many things, among them: Guildmaster for the Thieves Guild, Listener for the Dark Brotherhood, Archmage for the College of Winterhold, a minor bard for the Bards College, and was even chosen by Paarthurnax to succeed Arngeir to lead the Greybeards. However, his wife Muiri was barren and could not provide a child, let alone a son. Rising from his deathbed he took the Staff of Magnus and tracked down the Psijic Order. They reluctantly agreed to his last request to let him use the Eye of Magnus to create an adolescent son at the cost of his life.

The Psijic Order trained the son in all areas of magic and eventually the son requested to be trained specifically in the School of Illusion. He proved to be a prodigy and, after learning everything he could, he abandoned the Psijic Order to introduce his knowledge to the College of Winterhold. Trying to prove to the Archmage how potent his Illusions were, he drove several of his colleagues mad with minimal effort. He was promptly expelled and wandered Skyrim for a time.

He ended up in Falkreath seeking employment as a Spellsword. His unique gifts caught the attention of the Jarl, who promptly hired him as his personal bodyguard. He quickly gained the Jarl's trust and was appointed his advisor.

Wandering through the dense forests he stumbled on the ruins of a Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary. He easily gained entrance by using his Legendary-class Illusion magic to fool the Black Door. There he realized that being advisor to a minor Jarl wasn't improving his talents any, and founded the Scholars for Hire using his advisory position as a means to conceal the Scholars' whereabouts.
