I'm new at this sort of thing, but I thought I'd have some fun and have a go at it. Be gentle.
Name:
Fizzle
Race:
Khajiit
Class:
Ranger
Backstory:
What little is known of this particular khajiit is both fragmentary and not altogether reliable. In fact there are no records of his birth or parentage. He is believed to have first shown up in the Elsweyrian city of Orcrest under the name Sylvan Traitor, a most un-khajiiti moniker. There he joins the Khaj Eshiita, a band of talented rangers who patrol the wildlands around the city in an effort to keep peace and enforce law. He quickly makes a name for himself with his natural finesse with a bow and his talent for the telling of tall tales about his supposed childhood.
None among his fellow Khaja took these childhood accounts seriously, as they were oft to be fanciful and contradictory. They were, however, most entertaining, and many were recorded by his good friend and notorious fable spinner M'aiq.
In one such tale Sylvan asserts with uttermost sincerity that he saved an entire village from the ravages of the Thrassian Plague by piling all the people into a single cart and singlehandedly marching them out of Elsweyr and into the relative safety of Cyrodiil. There he nursed each and every one of his fellow countrymen back to full health. A preposterous tale, of course, not least because the Thrassian Plague occurred in the First Era. But such were Sylvan's tales.
After growing tired of serving with the Khaj Eshiita he dips out of recorded history for almost ten years. That is until someone matching his description turns up in the town of Chorrol in the company of the enigmatic master thief Shishiika. Almost immediately the town is beset by a spree of high profile burglaries including, most bizarrely, the Counts throne and every single painting in the castle.
When Shishiika vanishes from both Chorrol and the history books, the town guard promptly arrest Sylvan, who now adamantly insists upon being called Imperious Whiteflower, for the spate of thefts. He neither confirms or denies his involvement in these crimes, and is promptly thrown in jail.
There he stays for six days, without complaint, and ingratiates himself with his jailer by recounting many of his tall tales. On the seventh day he is gone, and no khajiit matching his description is ever seen in Cyrodiil again.
Seventeen years pass.
There's civil war in Skyrim, and an Imperial patrol happen upon a most unusual sight near Fort Neugard. Coming down the mountain trail before them is a lean, dark-furred khajiit and six reanimated chickens following on behind him. As he is questioned, one guard spies a trail of dark red blood splayed against the snow further up the path. Upon investigation six bodies, both men and mer, are found most brutally murdered upon the mountainside. The khajiit neither confirms or denies his involvement in this crime.
And so he is arrested and brought before the chopping block in Helgen. When the soldier asks his name, "You may call me Fizzle" he says, "and I have most pressing business in Skyrim."
