Race: Nord (Something he is really proud of.

History: He was born and raised in Solitude. He lived there with his father Arwyn Rivers, who was a respected cityguard. His mother got sick and died when he was three.
When the civil war between the Imperials and the Stormcloaks began, he was sent to live with his mothers borther in Dragon Bridge, since Solitude was most likely to get attacked by Ulfrick Stormcloak and his men. When Garren was 19, he returned to Solitude to sign up as a cityguard.
One day when he and the other new recruits was training, the Stormcloaks attacked Solitude. Garren and the others were sent into Castle Dour since they were not ready to fight of Stormcloaks. But his father and the other guards fought strongly to hold the attackers away. When the battle was over, Garren found out that his father had helped the Stormcloaks, and therefore got executed. Garren then left solitude in fury.
Since he left his duty to guard the city, he was no longer to be counted as a guard. Therefore he could not rejoin. So he started to live the life on the road. After a few years alone in the harsh wilderness of Skyrim, he joined a goup of bandits who traveled troughout Tamriel.
After some years in Cyrodiil, he returned to Skyrim, only to get caught at the border and sent to Helgen for his execution. A dragon attacks Helgen under the executions, and Garren escapes together with Hadvar. When they get safe outside of the walls they split up, and Hadvar goes to Riverwood, while Garren returns to Solitude to find his fathers old cloak.
When the Imperials win the civil war, General Tullius send out words to kill everyone related to the Stormcloaks and traitors of the Empire, and Garren is forced to flee.
