Background

Born the second of three sons to a respected knight in service to Emperor Uriel Septim VII in the city of Daggerfall who had sacrificed his life in service to the Empire during the events that would commonly be referred to as the “Warp in the West”, Drogan was hardly six years of age when his mother had disinherited him and sent him away to live with her estranged younger sister in the city of Bravil in the Cyrodiil province and her mage husband that Drogan’s mother had never approved of shortly after his father had died.  Despite almost never seeing his uncle, who owned a distant property in the Jerall Mountains known as Frostcrag Spire and was almost never in Bravil, Drogan was raised religiously by his aunt, who took him to regular Mass services every Sundas and was also supportive of his decision to study magic in the Arcane University in the Imperial City that permitted him to study at the prestigious academy after the head of Bravil’s branch of the Mages Guild, Kud-Ei, agreed to endorse him for study in the Arcane University at the tender age of fifteen.

Fate would derail Drogan’s academic prospects at the prestigious university when an unpleasant encounter with the corrupt officer of the Imperial City Watch, Audens Avidius, wrongfully arrested him after he refused to pay him a bribe not long after arriving in the Imperial City.  Drogan would spend about a year in the city’s prison for his refusal to pay the corrupt Imperial City Watch officer a bribe before being shipped away to the province of Morrowind, homeland of the dunmer, to the volcanic island of Vvardenfell by the edict of Emperor Uriel Septim VII, where he was inducted into the services of the Empire’s network of spies, the Blades, assigned under the direction of the Grand Master of the Blades on the island, a known skooma addict called Caius Cosades.  Assuming the role of an adventurous outlander, Drogan was dispatched by Caius to investigate the Nerevarine Cult and uncover the truth of the Nerevarine Prophecies, joining the local Mages Guild where he studied magic, focussing strongly on alchemy and fire magic and enlisting in the Imperial Legion while also volunteering his time and services to the Imperial Cult to assist the spiritual interests of the devotees of the Nine Divines, learning healing and restorative magic from the Faith’s acolytes.  During the course of his adventures on Vvardenfell where he encountered wizards falling from the sky, naked barbarians and the witches that they had encountered, numerous merchants in need of an armed escort or a delivery boy, noblewomen smitten by roguish dunmer, an orc warrior wielding the infamous bastard sword Umbra and a myriad of argonian and khajiit slaves he personally freed from bondage for the Twin Lamps, Drogan would seek out numerous informants that possessed information on both the Nerevarine Cult and the Sixth House, formerly known as the defunct House Dagoth, one of the six Great Houses of Morrowind that was presumably wiped out long ago with its leader, Dagoth Ur.  His mission for the Blades would lead him to meet all sorts of people, among them the Ashlanders of the Urshilaku, Ahemmusa, Erabenimsun and Zainab Tribes and brought him into conflict with both the Sixth House and the Tribunal Temple, contracting the dreaded Corprus disease and seeking the aid of the House Telvanni sorcerer Divath Fyr for a cure before the disease could destroy his mind and transform him into a mindless, hulking Corprus abomination.  Guided by the daedra lord Azura, Drogan united the three Great Houses on Vvardenfell, House Hlallu, House Redoran and House Telvanni, who named him Hortator, and the four Ashlander tribes who proclaimed him as the Nerevarine to unite against a common foe, Dagoth Ur, the demi-god leader of the Sixth House, who planned to use the Heart of Lorkhan to power a mighty brass golem called the Akulakhan to expel the Imperials from Morrowind and overthrow the Tribunal.  With the Ashlanders and Great Houses unified, the god-king Vivec bestowed the gauntlet Wraithguard to Drogan and taught him how to destroy the Heart of Lorkhan that gave Vivec, Almalexia and Sotha Sil, commonly referred to as the Tribunal, their god-like powers.  With the support of the Great Houses, the Ashlanders, the Tribunal Temple, the Empire and other allied local factions, Drogan led a campaign to destroy the Sixth House, acquiring the artefacts Keening and Sunder and using them to destroy the Heart of Lorkhan, stripping the Tribunal and Dagoth Ur of their immortality and their god-like power and fulfilling the Nerevarine Prophecy by killing Dagoth Ur.

Drogan’s adventures on Vvardenfell would not end after Dagoth Ur’s death, for barely a week had passed before trouble had found him.  Surviving an assassination attempt by the Dark Brotherhood, Drogan travelled to the city of Mournhold to learn the identity of the individual that wanted him dead, involving himself in the political affairs of both the Tribunal goddess Almalexia and the king of Morrowind, Hlallu Helseth, and personally becoming acquainted with the renowned queen-mother of Morrowind, Barenziah during the time where Almalexia’s influence had begun to wane, performing tasks for both Almalexia and King Helseth and reforging the Blade of Nerevar before killing the Tribunal goddess within Sotha Sil’s city, discovering that Almalexia had killed Sotha Sil in her madness to retain control of her faithful followers after losing her divine powers from the Heart of Lorkhan’s destruction.

Drogan’s adventures would continue after his adventure in Mournhold when the Imperial Legion had transferred him to Fort Frostmoth on the island of Solstheim where he had to deal with the island’s cold weather and the poor morale of the legionnaires stationed there, working closely with Gaea Artoria to end the activities of the smugglers that were conspiring with corrupt elements of the Imperial Legion in Fort Frostmoth to steal the Legion’s weaponry.  Trouble continued to plague Fort Frostmoth with the unexpected disappearance of the fort’s commander, Captain Falx Carius, when werewolves had attacked the fort.  Drogan would meet with the Skaal in their village on the island’s northeast, spending some time among them and undergoing several trials to be welcomed as a blood-friend to the Skaal and being drawn into the Bloodmoon Prophecy, fighting and defeating the daedric prince Hircine in single combat and bringing Captain Carius back to Fort Frostmoth.  Drogan’s adventures would continue on Solstheim when he entered the employ of the East Empire Company, which had established a town where the company was mining ebony, dealing with the crooked machinations of the corrupt Carnius Magius, replacing him as Factor after Carnius Magius had attempted to have the honest Falco Galenus murdered.  Other adventures that Drogan had on Solstheim included helping the altmer Athellor find proof that the snow elves once existed, becoming the chieftain of the mead hall south of the Skaal Village known as Thirsk, tracked down the wreckage of an airship that crashed on the island, helping cure a ship captain of his eternal wakefulness and was shared a glimpse of the future by the seer that cursed the ship captain with insomnia after retrieving a skull that the seer referred to as his friend.

In the finals years of the Third Era, Drogan had settled down in Raven Rock, retiring from the Imperial Legion with the honorary title of Knight of the Garland for his efforts in destroying Dagoth Ur where he could focus on managing the development of Raven Rock, occasionally dealing harshly with smugglers that often plagued the ebony mine and threatened the East Empire Company’s profits.  Before he could go forward with his plans on further expanding Raven Rock and establishing a guild hall for the Mages Guild, Drogan was unceremoniously arrested by Imperial Legion authorities, again wrongfully accused of a crime, this time by the conspiratorial machinations of the vengeful Carnius Magius, who had somehow survived his encounter with Drogan after his botched assassination attempt of Falco Galenus.  Drogan would be dragged back to the Imperial City prison in chains, shamed and forgotten, his shares in the East Empire Company and personal assets seized, expelled from the Mages Guild, stripped of all Imperial Legion honours he had earned during his short service and largely forgotten by all the people he had personally met during his adventures.

For weeks after his arrival in the Imperial City’s prison Drogan had pondered on his fate, coming to the conclusion that, despite all he had done for the Empire, he had been cast aside until a chance encounter with the emperor of the Empire, Uriel Septim VII, convinced him that the Empire still needed him.  After personally witnessing an assassin from the Mythic Dawn cult murder Emperor Uriel VII and avenging his death, the emperor’s sole-surviving bodyguard, the redguard Baurus tasked Drogan to deliver the Amulet of Kings to the Grandmaster of the Blades, Jauffre.  After delivering the Amulet of Kings to Jauffre at Weynon Priory, the Blades Grandmaster had sent Drogan on a mission to find Uriel Septim’s last-surviving son, the bastard-born Martin, learning from Jauffre that the Mythic Dawn cult had assassinated Uriel Septim’s three legitimate heirs.  Drogan would travel to the city of Kvatch where Martin lived, ministering to the people at the Great Chapel there as a priest of Akatosh, where upon arrival found the city besieged by daedra that had destroyed the city and trapping the few remaining survivors inside the cathedral.  After braving the dangers of entering the Oblivion portal where daedra were pouring forth from and closing it and leading Kvatch’s surviving militiamen and an argonian merchant he had previously met in Morrowind to liberate the castle and stumbling upon the corpse of County Kvatch’s count, Drogan led Martin back to Weynon Priory, being named the Hero of Kvatch by the city’s survivors for saving them and helping them retake their ruined city.

After returning to Weynon Priory with Martin, Drogan would witness Mythic Dawn cultists attack the priory, where despite driving them off would discover that they had taken the Amulet of Kings.  With Martin by their side, Jauffre would lead the Hero of Kvatch and the emperor’s surviving son to the base of operations for the Blades, Cloud Ruler Temple, where Martin could find sanctuary and where he could be protected until Drogan could recover the Amulet of Kings so that Martin could relight the Dragonfires in the Temple of the One.  Drogan’s quest would take him back to the Imperial City and all over Cyrodiil as he sought clues on the whereabouts of the Mythic Dawn’s base and acquiring artefacts for Martin to open a portal to Mankar’s Paradise so that he could confront Mankar Camoran and take back the Amulet of Kings from him, aiding in the defence of Bruma and the other cities of Cyrodiil against the daedric threat and involving himself in numerous other adventures during the Oblivion Crisis, the foremost among them including his reinstatement in the Mages Guild and thwarting the machinations of the necromancer Mannimarco that wanted to destroy the Mages Guild, plundering numerous Ayleid ruins for ancient artefacts for Umbacano, helping his argonian friend Stalks-in-Shadows vanquish undead in an underground cove beneath Castle Anvil so he could establish a base for the Thieves Guild and later assisting both him and the Gray Fox in retrieving Mehrunes’ Razor somewhere in the Nibenay Basin before a rogue Telvanni arch-mage could, fighting for gold and glory in the Imperial City Arena and being crowned the Grand Champion after slaying Agronak gro-Malog in single combat and questing for the Crusader’s Relics to slay Umaril the Unfeathered and restoring the Knights of the Nine back to their former glory as the Divine Crusader before guiding Martin to the Temple of the One in the Imperial City, glimpsing Mehrunes Dagon smashing all before him where Martin shattered the Amulet of Kings, transforming into the flaming draconic avatar of Akatosh, sacrificing his life to banish Mehrunes Dagon to Oblivion and forever ending the threat of future daedric invasions.  Martin’s death heralded the end of the Third Era, which saw Drogan, declared the Champion of Cyrodiil by High Chancellor Ocato, responsible for helping the altmer potentate try to hold the Empire together even as entire provinces began to secede during his time as a member of the Elder Council, a position he had attained just before the Siege of Bruma when he was named Arch-Mage of the Mages Guild before his confrontation with Mannimarco.

For many years Drogan served the Empire in his capacity of member of the Elder Council as well as Arch-Mage, of which he would be the Mages Guild’s last Arch-Mage when he oversaw the dissolution of the organisation that had split up into two splinter factions, the College of Whispers and Synod, of which Drogan declined to involve himself with either organisation, feeling that his duties with the Elder Council were too prohibitive for leading a newly-formed organisation dedicated to mages.  During the early years of the Fourth Era, Drogan had led the Knights of the Nine in service to the Empire, leading them in their pursuit of the Thalmor conspirators that were involved in Potentate Ocato’s assassination during the Stormcrown Interregnum, learned from the daedra lord Azura, whom had guided him on his quest to destroy Dagoth Ur some years earlier was his actual birth mother, explaining why he had been disinherited by the noblewoman that was married to his father after his death during the Warp in the West and aided the Colovian warlord Titus Mede capture the Imperial City, ending the Interregnum and establishing the Mede Dynasty as its first emperor, with Drogan serving as his most trusted advisor, serving his successor Attrebus Mede and his successors afterwards, his lifespan extended greatly due the Corprus disease he was temporarily afflicted with and had cured by the Telvanni sorcerer Divath Fyr during his time on Vvardenfell, thus allowing him to serve Titus Mede’s successors all the way to the current emperor, Titus Mede II, whom he served dutifully as both his champion and personal confidant, as well as a friend.  After acquiring the daedric artefact Goldbrand and helping Titus Mede II defeat the Aldmeri Dominion in the Great War in 4E 175, he formally retired from his duties in protest of the signing of the White-Gold Concordat that outlawed the worship of Talos and the further dissolution of the Empire with Hammerfell becoming an independent state, though he remained cordial with Titus Mede II.  He would, however, remain a constant thorn in the side for the Thalmor, who had pressured the Empire to declare him an outlaw and allow Thalmor agents to eliminate him.  In the latter years of the second century of the fourth era, Drogan had been forced to remain in hiding from the Thalmor, where he was aided by the children and grandchildren of his descendants that he had outlived, eventually fleeing into Skyrim in 4E197, approximately one year before he had departed from Tamriel, likely travelling to Akavir to escape the Thalmor.

This is the first of three character profiles I'll be putting up of my Elder Scrolls characters (so far), the breton crusader Drogan, sent to Vvardenfell to fulfil the Nerevarine Prophecy and later kill Almalexia in Sotha Sil's clockwork city before he travelled to Solstheim to fulfil the Bloodmoon Prophecy and work the East Empire Company after killing Dagoth Ur before returning to Cyrodiil where he was raised to thwart Mehrunes Dagon's ambitions to conquer Tamriel, restore the Knights of the Nine and destroy Umaril the Unfeathered and eliminate the necromancer Mannimarco that threatened to destroy the Mages Guild, and a myriad of other adventures from Morrowind to Cyrodiil, sharing the road on occasion with my other two characters, which I'll be uploading in the coming weeks.
