UPS Chiver
Would like some feedback on backstory I created for my character. Trying to keep it accurate to the lore. Didn't want to go overboard with the story and throw in a bunch of the normal cliches (parents weren't killed in some horrible way and now I'm out for vengeance. Wasn't raised by anything crazy. So on and so forth). He's just another guy that became awesome by chance. Anyway...thanks for your opinions/info in advance.
Roque
Bosmer - Hunter/Healer
His father (Bosmer) instructed him in the use of a bow from a very early age (about 20 years as was custom in his father's clan). He was also trained to wield a two-handed blade; which was a style his father learned from a fellow soldier during his time spent as mercenary in the Camoran Usurper's armies.
His mother (Bosmer), who was the daughter of her clan's healer, taught him how cast a few minor healing and protective spells. Although he has developed his talents further since her death.
He is a strict follower of "The Green Pact" which means he cannot harm plant life in any way. Only uses wood and herbs etc. that were harvested by others and then bought. Will not craft wooden weapons.
Like the majority of the Bosmer he is a cannibal and believes that every piece of a slain animal or enemy *must* be used.
Stays away from large towns except when summoned or temporarily for trade purposes but always leaves before nightfall.
Hates Khajiit (as well as most other races although there are a few individual exceptions), and blames the entire race for the death of his mother believing them all to be dirty, lying Sugar Tooths.

2E 568 - Father is born in Valenwood.

At which point he deserted and hid with her somewhere in Valenwood.

They were found by his father and, in a violent outburst, his father killed the Khajiit and used his coat to fashion a short cloak he wore for the rest of his life.
3E 433-4E 150 - Roque and his father continue his training and make a living hunting and selling hides etc.
4E 150 - Father dies at the age of 912.
4E 150-201 - Continued hunting and trading.
4E 201 - Roque is capture by the Empire and falsely sentenced to death.
