Tralen Falker
He was born in Hammerfell and studied Gaiden Shinji, his father died during an assault on Orsinium when Tralen was 13 leaving him to take care of his mother. When he was 15 he took up his fathers greatsword and trained with it. When he was 16 he was traveling the sands on his way to an Oasis he met a Khajiit there, the Khajiit was there bragging about his skills and he challenged Tralen to a fight, Tralen was brash and he accepted, during the fight the Khajiit was losing and he called for his friends. A throwing knife pierced Tralen's armor and hit his spinal cord. he fell to his knee and pulled it out. The Khajiit sliced his face with his claws leaving a dragging scar and rendering his left eye blind. Tralen collapsed. They took his fathers sword and his money. He awoke with broken armor and burning wounds on his face. He couldn't see out of his left eye and he knew he had gone blind. He took a drink from the Oasis and rubbed water on his wounds. A horseman found him and took him back to his home. When he arrived at his house it was ablaze. Bandits had attacked the village while he was away. He ran into his house looking for his mother. He saw all the trinkets and anything valuable in his house gone. he ran around the house and into his mothers room. She layed there naked and with a slit throat. He screamed in agony. He ran outside and picked up an old sword from a dead bandit. He cut down bandit after bandit helping the guards. After the sacking was over and the fires were out. He went to his home to see if anything remained. All that remained was ash.
Most other buildings were intact but he had no home and no family. He slept on the ash that night. He asked the local Blacksmith if he could take a job as his old apprentice was killed during the attack. He worked with the blacksmith for 5 years honing his craft. He had a bed to sleep on and money for food. It was now the 4th era with change in the wind. Word was sent Dragons had come back to life in Skyrim. He kept his mind busy by crafting weapons until about a week later that Tralen was woken up with a roar. He went outside clad in armor and saw a dragon just outside the village. He grabbed his sword and ran to help the guards, he fought the dragon but wasn't sure if he was hurting it. They fought and fought but the dragon wasn't dead yet. Tralen missed with a swipe of his sword and killed a guard. The dragon took the guards body and flew away. Tralen was thrown in prison for 2 and a half years. By this time Alduin had been slain and Ulfric's Stormcloaks had taken Solitude. After his release he picked up his armor and sword from the blacksmith who now scorned him. He hired a horse driver to take him to Skyrim.
He uses heavy armor and greatswords. He doesn't trust Khajiit or Orcs.
