Decided to try writing a backstory for my character.

"Tyrne was a strange child, snow white hair bore down from his head since his birth. His eyes a pale gray. He was a pallid boy, constantly ill with one malady or another. His mother mentally gone, his father no where to be found. Tyrne, the product of a particularly brutal [censored] was indeed a unusual child born to unusual circumstance to a unusual environment.

This child soon developed a fascination with the Divines, he almost grew to accept them as a surrogate family of sorts lacking the support and love of his real progenitors. Learning that a Vigilant of Stendarr was staying in his village he sought out this Daedra hunter, begging him to take him back to the hall so he may follow the same path. The vigilant apparently impressed with the boys determination despite his sickly appearance brought him with him away from the mother who didn't notice his disappearance, away from the neglect, away from his childhood home and hell. the boy grew in the hall, learning of the 9 divines, coming into a blossoming devotion in his own right, the boy who entered that hall was now a tall, broad shouldered pallid young man.

Tyrne was still weak and sickly but he had learned to hide these traits from the others and when the time came they accepted him into their ranks as a Vigilant. It is believe Tyrne's first hunt came at the age of 16, his group a mix match of veterans and new bloods were tasked with hunting down a Werewolf bearing the name Rovlan the Fanged. That night the group, resting from a hard ride was believed to be ambushed by Rovlan and his pack mates. It is often times stated that Rovlan managed to infect Tyrne during the ensuing melee where Rovlan himself, 2 of his pack mates and the rest of the Vigilant group were killed.

Passed out from blood loss and shock Tyrne awoke approximately 12 hours later, fevered and delirious. It is understood he wondered the forests for 6 more hours before being dragged into a mill along a river by two kindly farmers. They treated his wounds and illness to the best of their abilities. Three days later they were found mangled brutally by what was believed to be a wild animal.

Tyrne himself however found himself bounding through the wilds, free from weakness, from illness. He grew stronger, faster. His endurance unmatched, he was free, he was everything he ever wanted to be. Eventually Tyrne, free from the best trance found himself of men once more his body altered, no longer pallid or sickly, his muscles were strong, stronger then an average man's, his speed and endurance unmatched. Tyrne for once in his life found himself to be normal, if not better.

Tyrne realizing he could never return to the Vigilants knowing they'd most likely kill him if they knew his curse left. After 8 years of unrecorded travels and adventures the young Tyrne found himself camped outside of a small town and fort called Helgen when something strange came out of the sky with a horrible shriek, death on black wings." - Terralius Vinicci, Emperical Scholar on the believed to be Last Dragonborn.

Could you separate some of your paragraphs, it's kinda hard to read a wall of text.
