Orion - The Imperial ex-legionnaire Born under the shadow of the white gold tower, this Cyrodiil native was raised under the strict law of the empire. His Father was a Legionnaire, his mother was a Legionnaire, and it was obvious that when he would come of age he too would be a legionnaire. As he grew in rank, Orion found a home in Bruma and a beautiful wife to settle down with. They bore two healthy children and were happy. But one night, a band of nordic cultists who warship the ancient legendary dragon "Alduin" sneak into Orion's home to assassinate him. To the cultist's dismay, the Legionnaire was not home, but the blood of his family would suffice for now. Upon his return to home and witnessing the blood soaked walls of his home, he was spotted by local guards who had heard the screams of his family. Orion was taken into custody for the murder of his Wife and sons. His mind cloudy with confusion and his heart broken, he had lost his family and was betrayed by his own empire who had sentenced him to death. An honorable man he was, he would have served his time if the punishment was rightful, but given the circumstances he had to escape. Orion wandered the land of Cyrodiil for two months piecing together his thoughts when he heard word of his old friend from Black Marsh, Derkeethus, had joined a mining group in Skyrim. Being a wanted man in his home of Cyrodiil, he decided to cross the boarder into skyrim, where he was caught by a group of Imperials. These imperials did not recognize Orion as a wanted man for word must not have reached the group in Skyrim, but still he was condemned to a headsman's block. In the village of Helgen.
