Your character's past or present story

For those of us that like to have a story behind our ruthless killers or world savers, feel free to post yours.

Currently mine has a bit of a grudge against Thalmor.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am Dragonborn.

Whether I like to admit it or not. In fact, I've tried to ignore my connection to Dragons. I simply don't want to follow that path yet. I'm a reluctant hero if you will. But I still believe in my own existance. I can touch, break, and make things. Other people acknowledge my existence. They may not realize I'm the Guild Leader of the Thieves' Guild or a Murderer in the Dark Brotherhood; woe to those outside the guilds that do. But they're smart enough to know that I am an Orc not to be trifled with.

No one else knows that I am Dragonborn. Not yet. The only reason I know is because of the stories told of old and how, too similar, the events in my life have unfolded thus far. That's why the Thalmor's belief of the non-existence of Talos or wanton extermination of Talos' believers doesn't make sense to me. If they don't believe he exists or that he shouldn't exist, doesn't that mean they believe I don't exist?

Well...if the Thalmor insist, I'll be their ghost. But they'll find out that a ghost can have quite a REAL impact as I've now realized that the internal battles of Skyrim between the Stormcloaks and Imperials mean nothing compared to the threat that is Thalmor.

I have started assassinating Thalmor patrols outside of towns and in the wilderness. Once I truly master the art of stealth and daggers, I'll start on any Thalmor too cowardly to venture outside of the protection of cities and towns. Markath has quite a few I've heard. This has become more of a priority in my life than either my service to Sithis or Nocturnal. Internal strife is bad for business for either the Thieves' guild or the Dark Brotherhood. And I can't have bad business.

Plus, if I don't exist then Thalmor shouldn't exist.

Why, it's only fair--I don't believe in them either.
