Aros was born sometimes before the Oblivion Crysis, on Somersett Isles. He was a young wizard, aspiring to master all the schools of magic; when Oblivion gates started to open up around Tamriel. He was probably in his 20s when Daedra destroid Crystal Tower and he like many other of his kind did all he could to stop the Oblivion Gates from opening. More then a century later, during the Great War, he was among Thalmor; however he never left Summerset Isles. It was 30 years later, at the start of Stormcloak rebelion that he was dispatched to Skyrim. Somehow there he had realized that what Aldmeri Dominon trying to do in Skyrim and Tamriel is wrong, so he had left the Thalmor. His former comrades didn't take lightly to his tretchery and there were countless would be assailants that Aros had to incinerate, zap, or freeze to death. He searched for a fellowship that would give him some degree of protection from Thalmor, that is when Durak; member of Dawnguard aproached him. He was told of vapmire mannance and joined Dawnguard. However, it was not long since he contracted vampirism on the mision to Dimhollow Crypt. He awoken a vampire woman by the name Serana who was the part of the ancient vampire clan. When he bought her to her home, her father Harkon invited him into their family. The only reason Aros decided to remain a vampire, was because he realized how much better his magic would be. Finally, he realized his dream of becomming the aprentice at College of Winterhold, his first choise was to master Illusion magic as that is the strongest Aldmeri magic. However, with all of the treats he had to combat with, he happened to master destruction magic almost to perfection. By the time he reached Adept level of destruction, terrible things happened at Winterhold. Thalmor agent Ancano, tried to wield the power of the Eye of Magnus which resulted in the death of the Arch Mage Savos Aren. During that incident, a local man Ranmir was killed too, as well as the Master Wizard at the college Mirabell Erwin. After it was all over, Aros found himself being raised to the Arch Mage, at that time he just reached an Expert Level of Destruction magic. As an Arch Mage, he devoted himself to study the ways magic could help people more then hurt them, while honning his own skills, reaching almost a Master Level really soon. It was not easy to maintain a vampiric existance though, he had to over come urges. He limited himself only to hunting bandits who prey on passing folk. Also, from time to time he pays a visit to the Chill (Winterhold Prison). That prison can rival even Sidna mine. Guards don't bother taking any possessions off of the prisoners as they lock them up in a cage which is located in an icy cave. No human guards are arround. Inside the cave, there is a Frost Atronauct patrolling and outside there are scores of wild animals. The entire cave is on a small island an only appears on well detailed maps. Aros does usually makes inquiries though of what kind of criminals are currently held there and oversees the instalment of Atrounacts himself. All in all, despise common believe of evil of vampires, he had done more good as an Arch Mage, then few non vampire leaders arround Tamriel. (Oh and if you don't know "The Chill" is the real prison in Whinterhold and if you get there, you really get to be in a cage with all your equipment intact, they just don't think you will escape alive, if you even would dare too. The other cages in there are occupied by skeletons, so that gives you an impression that people are put there to die. Now you really have to wonder, which is Skyrim's worst prison; Sidna mine in the Reach, or "The Chill" in Whinterhold?)
