Great thread! Hope it's okay if mine is a bit long.
Janu: Was living a marginal life in Hammerfell and was slowly making her way along looking for a more prosperous place for a thieving career. Should have known that the foolish Imperial guard with the jangly purse had nearby friends looking out for him!
Evodhla: Was trying to get *out* of Skyrim, not in. Banditry is the way she found to avoid starvation-- when they ended up caught in an Imperial ambush, the other bandits fled and Evodhla was the only one captured.
Taeni: Was running from the Thalmor. Her name wasn't on the list because her inquisitor parents weren't about to admit their child not only defected but got away unscathed, but her execution was most definitely particularly ordered.
Amelie: Was bored. She had a very good job with a very good mercenary company, but the possibility of a lifetime of this daunted her. Skyrim, with all its troubles, looked like a promising place for a skilled sellsword looking to make a new start (she had no idea her brother went there, of all places, with the money he got selling her into indenture). She has no idea why she was mistaken for a rebel, and is still a bit irked about it even now.
Sarendan: Was on the run from thieves in the Imperial City, after a fellow thief assassinated their guildmaster and tried to kill her (his clear chosen successor). Is beyond baffled that, after this many years worrying about being caught, she was nearly executed for a crime she actually *didn't* commit.
