Okay, I'll bite.
I tend to envision my character as the Eternal Champion, an instrument of the gods placed into the world at the time of it's greatest need. He was the Neravarine, the Champion of Cyrodiil, and now Dragonborn.
Each time, he wakes up in possession of the body of someone condemned (who obviously won't be needing their body much longer) and set loose upon the world. He still remembers his own past, but not that of the body he possesses. He still knows about magic and swordsplay, but the new body has to be trained and conditioned for the activity before he can put that knowledge to work. As a result, he gains power very quickly, mastering in months what others dedicate their lives to achieving.
After accomplishing whatever it is he has been sent to do, he is allowed some peace and time to enjoy his new life for a few short years. But inevitably, he goes to sleep one night and wakes up, sometimes years or even centuries later as somebody totally new with a new task ahead of him.
