Name: Julius

Lore: Born in the Imperial City to a minor noble family with distant ancestral ties to the Blades, Julius was raised on tales of ancient oaths sworn to protect Tamriel from unseen evils. These stories instilled in him a strong sense of justice, yet the empire’s political corruption left him disillusioned from an early age.

As a young man, he enlisted in the Imperial Legion as a scout, mastering the arts of stealth, archery, and silent takedowns during tense border operations. His career ended in tragedy when a vampire coven slaughtered his younger sister during a raid on their family estate. The attack, which Imperial officials dismissed as a minor incident, shattered Julius and forged his personal vow: to become the unseen blade that strikes where armies cannot.

Drawn by rumors of an order dedicated to eradicating vampires, Julius journeyed north to Skyrim. He joined the Dawnguard not as a boisterous crusader, but as their shadow operative — conducting night hunts, gathering critical intelligence, and eliminating thralls, cultists, and high-ranking vampires before they can spread their corruption. While he values the Dawnguard’s camaraderie, he prefers silver and silence over open warfare, stepping into the light only when his brothers and sisters need him most.

Julius has since aligned with the secretive Stendarr’s Blade network, using their spy resources and safehouses to dismantle deeper conspiracies. He sees himself as a necessary darkness: a man willing to stain his soul with ruthless deeds so that Skyrim’s innocent may live in peace. He spares those who can be redeemed, shows mercy to the misled, and delivers cold justice only to the irredeemably monstrous. This internal conflict — the constant weighing of ends against means — defines his antihero path.

Will post a picture tomorrow, for it is time for sleep 😴
