Alright, here's my second character. I thought he would be a more appropriate fit, as well as a better foil to Falco. His backstory is a lot more bare than Falc's, but hopefully it'll be okay to keep some of the cards to my chest, yes?

Gear & Fighting Style
Armor: Steel armor, with intricate designs not remembered in this time. Pic above for reference. Almost perfect for what he wears aside from the hood, which is instead a steel helm, wrapped in a black alik'r style hood. Sort of like those redguard mods you see from time to time on pc mods. (How I envy the pc master race.)
Every Day Carry: His sword, A book for him to keep his notes in, a list of recipes for different tonics and salves, should he need to make anything on the fly with whatever he has available. Weapons: He carries a katana, crafted for him at a time before he was turned. Notes on the sword suggest it was given to those in Hammerfell who proved themselves to be astute warriors, but any other information was lost to time. It is enchanted with a paralyze charm, so at different times, if the strike is true, it is capable of freezing the bones of the opponent, leaving them incapacitated for whatever Ruslan has planned. He can summon bound weapons as well, but the katana is the only physical weapon he carries.
Magic: Ruslan is capable of using destruction magic, primarily lightning spells. But he prefers his alteration, which he uses to paralyze his targets, prey, or anyone foolish enough to stand before him. He also is well versed in flesh spells, and will use them when he needs to get in the thick of things, or needs extra protection from archers.
He is well versed in necromancy, and is able to conjure weapons, should he be disarmed.
Fighting Style: He is able to be in the fore or back of the group, able to sling spells or take up his sword when magicka is low. He prefers to immobilize his targets, but in the case he cannot, believes disintegrating them with lightning will suffice.
Backstory:
Little is known about Ruslan, other than he belonged to the Khulari bloodline of Vampires, a coven primarily in the Illiac Bay region. How long he has been alive is unknown to most aside from a select few allies and enemies alike.
However, he is never in a place by accident, so whatever he is doing with this group, it involves the Aetherium Forge.
His designs on what he plans to do should he find it for the dunmer are unknown, but one thing is for sure:
Taron Dreth won’t be the one dictating the future of this forge, nor would the others he will stand beside to get there.
But for now, he will aid them all in getting to this sacred place. What he will do when they get there, however, is anyone’s guess.
