Skills: Many of Allinhdil's skills are based around stealth and mobility. As he grew up in Valenwood, he is one with the world around him, allowing him to adapt quickly to his surroundings and use them to his advantage in combat. He is not a people person and fails in most interaction endeavors, but he is an incredibly talented man when it comes to surviving in the wilderness. He is an incredible shot with a bow and has sharp senses, and is very good at outwitting opponents and constructing clever traps, but his preference for ranged combat shows with his weakness at hand-to-hand combat. His movement speed is incredible, particularly in dense forest, but out in the open he is much weaker.

(Bow pic wouldn't work, sorry

Skilled Expert Alchemist - Although his potions lack potency and fail him often, he is capable of making very good potions to help strengthen him in battle and tend to his wounds and fatigue.
History:
As a young child, Allinhdil was trained with a bow since the day he could walk. His father was a well-known hunter, and provided most of the meat and pelt that the town he lived in used. The were a modest family, man and wife with a son and daughter, a reasonable amount of gold and well-respected. Allinhdil seemed to have inherited his father's talents; he proved himself to be a good and reliable shot and devoted himself to mastering the bow, practicing six days a week, every week, until the age of ten. When he reached ten he began going on hunting trips with his father, who taught him how to trap prey. He relied on his keen eyes to take down prey with his bow, but took a strong liking to using traps instead of his bow. He began to develop this skill, devising new methods of trapping and capturing prey without having to risk an arrow. He also took every opportunity in the wilds to explore, eager to see as much of the world as he could.
It did not remain peaceful for long, however. When Allinhdil was fifteen, his father was attacked by a bear and seriously wounded. He lost an arm, meaning he would never hunt again, and his survival was solely dependent on the magical brews of the town's apothecary. Allinhdil came to worship the elderly Elf that had saved his father's life, spending a remarkable amount of time with him, and the man taught him what to look for when he was out, and he bought them to the apothecary. He taught Allinhdil how to brew his own healing miracles, and much, much more. Allinhdil keeps the apothecary's ring even today.
At 21, Allinhdil joined up with the Aldmeri Dominion, primarily as a soldier. However, after complications on his first mission in Skyrim, he was split up from the rest of his squad and forced to survive alone in the unfamiliar wilds whilst he found his way back to Solitude. The Captains stationed there realized his aptitude to be a scout, and commissioned him as such. He spent his spare time practicing writing reports, exploring when not posted and writing about his findings, keeping a journal of everything he finds and sees and how it can be used. He was part of several successful missions, retrieving valuable intel and infiltrating enemy outfits for years. He rose to the ranks as a Scout Captain, and was eventually commissioned as a Ranger.
As a Ranger, Allinhdil experienced all the freedom he could want. He explored, hunted, and survived on his own for years, reporting everything he could on enemy forces and plans. However, on his latest mission to infiltrate a fortress, aged just 29, Allinhdil was overcome and beaten viciously, almost to death, and then imprisoned and tortured daily by Stormcloak soldiers. He would have been killed had Imperial soldiers not raided the fort and accidentally stumbled across him. Still, the ordeal left him with many scars, both physical and mental.
He left the forces, and moved to the hold of Whiterun, staying outside of the city itself. He lived in the wilderness, moving from place to place, staying by the water to fish and swim and bathe and drink. He grew to love it. He began to sell extra wares to vendors in Whiterun city and Riverwood, making a good amount of wealth for someone with no-one to support but himself, and began to love his life. However, he was always hoping something would change, and give him a reason to get back out and explore, become respected, and wealthy.
