Hell why not:
Asher is a Redguard that was born in Hammerfell to his father Raccan. Asher has few recollections of his mother who left him and his brother Nachael (younger by 2 years) when they were very young and his father Raccan never spoke of why their mother left, only mentioning that her name was Suranie and that she was a beautiful Breton. Raccan was a seasoned warrior; fighting against the Aldmeri Dominion during the Battle of the Red Ring. He regularly trained Asher and Nachael in the art of dual wielding blades, smithing, and surviving out in the field. Raccan was furious at the Empire for the White Gold Concordant terms and was relieved when Hammerfell withdrew from the Empire. As the war continued with the Aldmeri Dominion Asher and Nachael continue their training. One day Raccan informed Asher that him and a group of other veteran fighters were going to go scout out an Aldmeri Dominion outpost and wanted him to watch out for Nachael while they were gone. Asher found this somewhat peculiar as his father typically didn't seem so hesitant when telling Asher of these sorts of things. When pressed for more answers his father ensured him that everything was fine and to simply stay back with his brother as he would be back in no more then three days. After two days had passed Asher was out tending to some crops at the house when a Breton woman frantically approached the house. Before Asher could even assess the woman, she gave him the strongest hug and told him to get into the house. The woman began explaining herself to Asher and Nachael. She told of how she was their mother and how she had never completely left them when they were children. Asher and Nachael were bothered by her reluctance to tell them more and continually pressed her for more information. She finally told them the reason she left was for their safety. She had been cursed and was a Werewolf. She hid away in Hammerfell after Asher and Nachael were born to keep them out of harms way. She told them that there was a group of Werewolf hunters within the region and she never wanted Asher or Nachael to have to worry about them attacking. She told of how she was always visited by Raccan who regularly hunted the hunters (Raccan wasn't a werewolf) and heard of Asher and Nachael growing up, but something had gone terribly wrong. A strain of vampiric Aldmeri Dominion warriors took up arms with a group of Werewolf hunters who had been tracking Suranie (the mother). Raccan went out with a group of fighters who knew of the situation him and his family was in to find their outpost and eliminate them. Suranie went along with them to help, but things didn't turn out the way they expected. The warriors at the outpost were stronger then they had intended and Suranie was told to go back home as fast as she could to inform Asher and Nachael of the situation. Suranie ensured them that things would be okay, but Asher knew there was more. He insisted that Suranie take them to this outpost to see what was going on. Despite her disapproval, Suranie could see the anger and rage in the eyes of her children. She knew that they were capable fighters and they had a flame in their hearts to see what had happened. She decided to take them to the outpost, knowing that when she had left chances were that Raccan and the others would have gained the upper hand. Unfortunately, this was not the case. As they approached the outpost bodies were littered around the ground, but that was not nearly as disturbing as what was placed before them. Nine tall spikes protruded from the ground and upon each stake was one of the warriors that went to fight the group of werewolf hunters. Right in the middle, was an empty post and Raccan wasn't anywhere to be seen. Suranie and her children heard screams and went to investigate. They found a window looking into the fort and saw Raccan chained to a wall, being tortured by members of the group they had went to slay. As Raccan looked up and took notice of Suranie and the children, he scream with his last remaining strength "GO!". Asher and Nachael were paralyzed, but Suranie dragged them as fast as she could. Some of the vampiric Aldmeri Dominion members rushed out of the fort towards them. Suranie quickly explained to Asher and Nachael that they needed to go back to the house, gather their things and flee from Hammerfell. She told them to head North to Skyrim and stay with some close friends in Solitude. She quickly kissed them both of the head and told them that she loved them as this would probably be the last time she got to see them. Asher and Nachael got up and began to run away knowing it was their only choice, but looked back to see Suranie transforming into a Werewolf. Despite how far they had run, they were unable to escape the loud, dying howl they heard from whom they could only imagine being their mother.
Due to complications in the North of Hammerfell at the border, Asher an Nachael had to flee into Cyrodil and head North from there (to the right of Falkreath). As they crossed the border they saw carriages of Stormcloak (unknown to them) soldiers being lead by Imperial soliders. Unfortunately for Asher and Nachael, those Stormcloaks staged an escape and began attacking the Imperials taking them away after freeing themselves from the carriages. As Asher and Nachael were caught in the midst of the battle Nachael was shot by a stray arrow from a Stormcloak solider who Asher promptly went up and stabbed to death. The arrow went straight threw Nachaels chest and as Asher was holding him the Imperials quickly over powered the remaining Stormcloaks and grabbed Asher. They threw him onto one of the carriages along with the other prisoners and was brought to Helgen. Along the way to Whiterun Asher heard of rumors that the Companions were Werewolfs and that quickly became his next goal.
So this leaves me with a character who has a strong hatred for the Aldmeri Dominion, Imperials, and Stormcloaks.
