THIRTY - SIX YEAR OLD MALE NORD
P E R S O N A L
D E T A I L S
A L I A S E S : The prophesied Dragonborn of legend come praised for ending the life of Alduin the World Eater , Alsgeir is acknowledged throughout the province of Skyrim to men as the Silencer and Dragonkind as Kroniid or the Conqueror.
S E X U A L I T Y : Heterosexual , as in attracted only to the opposite sex : females.
R E L I G I O N : The Talos that his kin revere never resonated with him as a deity. Alsgeir respects the Eight Divines and is particularly devoted to Kynareth or Kyne , Mother of Men and patron of practitioners of the Voice.
R E S I D E N C E : A house going by the name of Breezhome in the Plains District of Whiterun , the capital of Skyrim , is shared between Alsgeir , his wife , and their child. The house has been recently been left abandoned and unsavory sorts may have moved in.
A F F L I C T I O N : Alsgeir contracted lycanthropy in the wilds and has since learned how to utilize the disease. He has not found a cure or spoken with the Companions , for although he is a member , Kodlak died before he joined. In bestial form , his fur is dull tawny. Recently his human form has begun to resemble his bestial form , with coarse hair growing over his facial hair , beard , and body , and developing an animistic response to threats.
O C C U P A T I O N : After the reported death of Alduin the World Eater , Alsgeir has had little time for the bounty hunting that he used to partake in. Although called to settle a second time the comflict between the Empire and the Stormcloaks after the murder of the Emperor , he has been missing after returning to Whiterun from the Throat of the World.
A F F I L I A T I O N S : A low - ranking member of the Companions , his Shield Brothers and Sisters have not noticed or otherwise commented on his lycanthropy before recent times. He has spent much time training with these men and women but has completed no major quests with them. It is clear that the Companions are currently in a state of unrest , which some claim to be linked to the people behind the death of their Harbinger.
P O L I T I C S : " The Empire is too weak and fragile to resist their Dominion overlords, but I sense that they are displeased with the arrangement. It is my hope that some will ally with Hammerfell in the future to strike against the elves. The Stormcloaks are too preoccupied maintaining their primitive anger to notice these things. I sympathize with both ' sides ' and have gone to great lengths to maintain peace and encourage understanding , all for naught it seems. A stronger Empire would benefit us all , and perhaps it is possible now that the Emperor is dead. Rebellion would do nothing good for this province in the long term. "
P H Y S I O L O G Y
Like the typical Nord , Alsgeir has a naturally stocky build athletic from combat experience. His body is marred in several places , from faded scratches to old mending wounds. Due to recent events , magical scarring mark his skin , the pale turned dull tan from exposure. Burns from silver line his arms. A calculated cut from a silver knife winds from the right side of his neck to near the center close to the jaw , a deep thin line that causes sparks of pain from time to time , especially when transforming. Sometimes the area around the wound feels numb , and it may bleed in beast form. He is tall with tawny locks that roll around his ears. His clean - shaven beard has grown into a bristly short boxed since his disappearance. Thick brows arch over round blue eyes. Thick coarse hair abundant over his body and beard give Alsgeir a unique appearance of interest to those familiar with the appearance of werewolf fur.

D E T A I L S
F A M I L Y : Alsgeir was particularly close to his mother , Morgia , who stayed at home and acted like a father to him. His actual father was a native Dunmer called Ulpar that went away after learning of the pregnancy. Morgia was fond of the man and claimed that he left because his pride felt slighted , even as an impure Dunmer , and had no interest in raising a child. Morgia died when a dragon attacked looking for food shortly after the rebirth of Alduin the World Eater. His quest was not one of vengeance , however , but justice.
P E R S O N A L I T Y : His patience stands out from the local population , as most Nords are known for being quick to anger. Like his kin , he is arrogant , brutal , and unforgiving , even in shared words. He is capable of great passion and is known for using deceit to bypass danger and strike at the heart of an operation. This is why bandits have upgraded their systems , since so many groups have fallen to the wit of one man. Alsgeir tends to let praise go to his head and does not enjoy quiet companions. He does not like anything about him being described , so he doesn't talk about himself much and is made uncomfortable with stories told about the Dragonborn of the Fourth Era.
I N T E R E S T S : Mostly Alsgeir is obsessed with understanding what happened to the body of Alduin after he " died " in fear that he did not do a good enough job. He likes poetry and , of course , prefers mead over any other alcoholic beverage.
E Q U I P M E N T
S K I L L S : Being born under the constellation sign of the Atronach allows Alsgeir to absorb a portion of magic directed at him , which is the only way that he can re - fill his magicka pool , which is larger than most. He wears light armor to skirt around attacks and act with speed. Relevantly , he is versed in athletics , conditioned through time and experience to run and swim faster and with more efficiency. Alsgeir prefers to use a one - handed sword and metallic buckler of steel or elven for combat ; not shield because he dodges blows.
G E A R : A large backpack made of wolf furs , stitched well in many places to hold seams , is capable of holding rations , a large water pouch , light - weight loot , potions , and healing salves. The backpack and its contents are currently not in his possession.
H I S T O R Y
Alsgeir was born on the twenty - sixth of Sun 's Dusk 4E 165 under the sign of the Atronach , though he has little or no natural magical talent. His father was absent throughout his life , so his mother raised him on her own. They lived on a secluded farm closest to Rorikstead where she taught him how to harvest , care for animals , hunt , fish , and familiarize with the land. He spent much time outdoors , resulting in a farmer 's tan. Algeir spent two - thirds of his life beside his mother , until he was twenty - two.
That was when the World Eater returned , a childhood legend come to life. It started with stories , rumors of Helgen reduced to ash , but neither mother nor son dared to leave the farm. Only a few weeks later , when the rumors dwindled in the nearby town of Rorikstead , that a dragon came to the farm in search of food. It found it , and razed the house to mark its territory. Mother and son hid in the unused cellar. The mold and stress of the event got to Morgia : she soon passed away in the arms of her son and remains of their home.
Alsgeir understood that similar events must be taking place throughout the province. The idea concerned him , that others might lose their families or lives. He buried his mother as she had wanted , and chased a dragon like a simple - minded beast. It was on this hunt that he met the Companions , grieving but having saved his life. He promised his sword in exchange for safety and training. He trained with them and married a Nordic woman , Ullina , and with her they had a boy they called Mojer. He was his promise. They lived in a house in Whiterun until it burned from a chimney fire and was rebuilt as Breezehome , situated in Whiterun, the capital of the province.
Alsgeir spent more time at home than out , but when he was , he completed bounties for the Companions for so many years until one led to driving off or killing a dragon at the nearby Western Watchtower. Since he absorbed its soul , people 's reactions to him changed : either fear , or praise , or threatened. All demanded of him petty tasks for their favor. He refused , naive , and instead set straight out to the Throat of the World , for it was there that he had been summoned by the Graybeards with their unified Voices. It was with them that his path was defined in honor of life and Kynareth , and he understood that the dragon presence must be removed from the world for there to be the peace he craved.
Surely you know the rest. He studied for many years under their guidance and at the College of Winterhold library , delved into dungeons to learn new Words of Power , and eventually trapped a dragon. During this period , he contracted lycanthropy ; at the time of the capture , he had just learned how to manage it. It is said that the dragon and he spoke in length in the Dragon Tongue until he freed and boarded the creature , Odahviing , and took flight to the ancient dragon - infested fane Skuldafn. Alone , he walked into the portal to Sovngarde , fearing that he would die and Hircine would claim his soul.
The atmosphere scared him at first : fog clouded his vision , making him feel blind , trapped , and dumb under the keen eye of the dragon he hunted. Past the fog , his skill and knowledge of the dragon - rending Shout combined with those that created it. Together , they made the dragon taste of mortality and die. However , its body vanished in ash and he did not absorb its soul. He was concerned that he had dome something incorrectly or was a False Dragonborn , as Miraak will soon claim. After returning to Nirn , Alsgeir spent weeks conversing with Paarthurnax at the Throat of the World. When he finally returned to see his family , he instead found an empty house and a note from the Thalmor demanding he join them at Northwatch Keep. The Imperial influence in the city had allowed them to march in and out with little disturbance.
Algeir traveled to the Keep and willingly put himself at the mercy of the Thalmor , allowing himself to be taken in as a bound and gagged " guest " in exchange for the safety of his family. Their accommodations were good but his was not. The Interrogator asked a variety of questions , but most centered around the specifics of his role as Dragonborn. It seemed that they were interested in his power for some political affair , to undo the peace that he had managed at a peace council. At times , they brought his son out to watch the torture. With each session , Alsgeir 's resolve hardened and he began to resemble his inner beast more and more , though he also grew weaker. He is there still , developing defiance but with no hope to escape and get his family out of there.
