As for who he is, some people think he is Ragnar the Red since he has no head and he is sometimes seen on the road from Rorikstead to Whiterun. People also think he might be Hamvir, since at Hamvir's Rest there is an area with a skull (with a helmet) and an axe like the one he carries on his back. More likely that it's supposed to be Hamvir, as his location each time he makes his run completely random and one of the very few unscripted events of it's kind in TES games everywhere. Perfect example being that I've never seen him anywhere near Rorikstead or Whiterun.
