Okay, so... I'm not very knowledgeable about TES lore. And yet I need to create a character with background set possibly deep in this lore, or at least deep enough to be notable and not too generic (lore-less). So I need someone to help me in creating this background. Anyone willing to help?
The character I have in mind (NPC) is intended to be a Dunmer mage from Morrowind, living about 400 years before the events of Oblivion; he left his family (maybe one of these better known ones?) due to some rows. He's a lone wolf, a treasure hunter who prefers working alone and is interested only in collecting as much treasure as possible (perhaps to create his own great family?). He's somewhat disgusted with the idea of slavery, and feels ashamed by how beastfolk are treated in his homeland, so if he has an opportunity to make them free, he'll do it. He's not a type of kind soul though, as he helps only the beastfolk, and those who he consider worthy - he has no love for those who could do everything what they want, and yet they don't and they ask for unnecessary help. He's a type of professionalist who tries to collect as much information as possible and carefully examine the challenge (like going deep into the ruins) before doing it. He's a bitter one, and never tries to make friends around himself - is someone becomes his friend, then it's only this person's choice. He's neither nice nor naughty - he's just doing his job.
Now, how can I set him into the TES lore so he will possibly alive and believable, not too generic?
