Back-story
Raised in the wildernesses of cyrodiil by his grandfather, he was taught how to hunt, felling his first deer when he was twelve years of age. He was also taught by his father, who visited periodically from travelling across tamriel as an Imperial Legate he was taught how to use an axe. Nearing the end of the Great War, his father was killed by the thalmor, and when the empire then surrendered to the thalmor, he turned to hate and despise them. When his grandfather died a year before, he left to his ancestral homeland of skyrim to get away from a place he now despised, where his father and grandfather had both been taken from him.
I relise it's a svcky back-story, but I want most of it to be revealed in the Character Journal.
Also, please give constructive criticism.
