The Death Knight is a warrior clad in heavy armor and gifted with powers of darkness by the Daedric Prince Vaermina. It would take some time to regain his old powers but he was determined to rise once more as Vaermina’s Death Knight.
Now a free man in a land torn by civil war, he was ready to begin anew. He was taken to Helgen and set to be executed along with a group of rebels for illegally crossing the border but once again, he would avoid this permanent fate…
Nobody recognized him in Skyrim and he concluded that his physical form must have changed drastically since being stripped of his dark powers, reverting back to a mortal appearance. Stripped of his powers and heavily wounded, he made his way north to the Skyrim border, where he was found by imperial legionaries. The former champion of Vaermina, once gifted with nightmarish powers and a twisted lust for cruelty, barely managed to evade death after his defeat at the cataclysmic battle of Cheydinhal to the warrior clad in ebony. Defeated and shamed, he knew he should have died that day, but such was not the fate written for him in the stars.
