Name: The Dark Knight
Race: Nord
Age: 28
History: His Parents died at the hands of a thug in Riften at the age of 8 years. He was adopted by the thieves’ guild, who found him before the guards came. He spent much of his time with the local blacksmith, who taught him the art of the craft and the proper use of the many weapons he could forge. He had lived as a thief for most of his childhood, but left the guild to find his true purpose. He traveled to many hold’s, in which he started to use his skills to help the hold guards capture criminals. He still had doubts about his current path, until he traveled to the city of Markarth. There he noticed great misery, death, and corruption. He stayed there, hiding in the shadows and striking at unsuspecting thugs and corrupt guards. The law could not be trusted, he had learned, and avoided having to confront those of the law except for the ones he could trust. Word of his deeds spread faster than a fleeing bear, until the rumors came to the ears of Aicantar, a high elf of science who had studied everything about the dwemer he could find since he was a child. Most knew him as an assistant to Calcelmo, but what was unknown to most was that Aicantar had a talent for recreating dwemer gadgets. He sent the knight a message to meet in the outside hallway of the Nchuand-Zel Excavation Site near the waterfall. The knight was wary at first, but interested by what he had to offer. He made for the hallway, where the professor had awaited. He offered to asset Shadow by giving him gadgets to help him fight against the criminals of the city. He showed him the few gadgets he had to offer, but the knight was truly impressed. The knight made the Excavation Site a base, and Aicantar helped him with some of the use of the dwemer gadgets. He had learned much from the blacksmith from Riften during his childhood, and used his skills as a blacksmith to craft a leather armor set, with an ebony shield and blade that would strike fear into the hearts of those with evil intent. He has since been called many things by the holds, but he is mostly known as “The Dark Knight”. Since the Great War ended and the Civil War began, the Thalmor have branded him an enemy of the people, which has caused him to take more caution in his travels.

As part of a code he made to himself, he never kills or lets anyone die if he can help it. Rarely speaks, as he prefers to keep to himself. He does not have anything against other races, but prefers logic, reasoning, and skill over magic, gods, and worship. Rarely uses his sword and prefers to engage his targets in Hand-to-Hand combat.
