Hjorleifr was born in a small village of nords in Skyrim, his father was a war general and he was too

young to remember his mother before she disappeared. What little he knew growing up was at some point in his fathers career, he married a young outsider who traveled there from a distant part of Tamriel. People of the town accused her of being a witch and a necromancy priestess and frowned upon their union. The woman had many problems baring children and lost every child late in her pregnancy due to unknown circumstances. Strange noises would be heard in the night from their small home and the people of the village started to become nervous about the whispers and rumor of necromancy and macabre rituals. In the 4E 166 they finally had a baby boy and named him Hjorleifr. Although his mother was sick he was born healthy and strong. His birth was felt to be an omen and the elders of the community branded him an evil stain upon them. In the middle of the night his mother disappeared from her bed only to leave behind a pile of robes in a pool of blood black as a starless midnight. As a young child he had an unnatural affinity for magic and summoning. This was bizarre for a nord, he also had a peculiar fascination with the dead, the young Hjorleifr would often spend his days playing in the catacombs and burial hall of the village and studying about atronach summoning. His father loved him despite the villagers' views and taught him how to fight with a sword, a bow, and how to move in heavy armor. His father left to fight and die in the great war against the thalmor. When he was old enough to leave the village, he decided to search for where his mother had came from and try to learn more about her past. After searching for two years he traveled to a small settlement where his mother was rumored to be born. The oracles there knew of her and told him that she was instructed by daedra to travel to his village and give birth to the next dragonborn. He lived there for some time and traveled with a group of sorcerers learning the ways of conjuration. The elders of the group felt a great power in him and instructed him that once his training was complete, he would be needed in skyrim to fight for his village and his people. He began his trip back to skyrim only to be captured during his crossing over the border. He now travels to Helgen in the south of Skyrim as a prisoner.
