Hello,
I need help for my Thalmor agent backstory regarding main quest, doing it while remaining logical.
In advance, sorry for my english since i'm french.
Please read the backstory below to help me with 2 questions :
1) i would like to do the main quest. How can i turn my altmer from a thalmor agent, to a dragonborn who accepts his destiny and fight Alduin ? For Auri-el sake ? What is the relationship between Auri-el and Alduin ? Are Alduin plans a major threat for the Thalmor ? How to explain the mission and Killing at the embrassy, allying with a Blade for the greater Good ? Help me on thoses points in order to become dragonborn and the True champion of Auri-el !
2) for my character, vampires are an abomination, a corruption of the purity of his Blood. I ll join the dawnguard. But what about civil war ? I would like to join one or the other side. What explanation do you suggest ?
BACKSTORY :
"Exarch is a young noble from Alinor, first and only son of an influent member of the Thalmor council.
He was a magic student aswell as training in the way of the Sword. He embrassed the ideal of the Thalmor revolution. He is an altmer with the religious views of his people. He is a suprematist but not an extremist.
He dreamed about the Revenge to take upon mankind but he was disturbed by the persecutions of the Thalmor against the dissidents.
His best friend was one of them and he had to execute him in order to prove to his father and the council he was trustworthy.
Even he doesnt comment the Thalmor methods he told himself it was for the greater good. But nevertheless, the Killing of his best friend remains as a scar and something has been broken between himself and his father.
When the great war began it was finally the moment for him to prove his worth, the superiority of Mers over Mens, to prove his skill in magic and swordmanship.
For years he fought during the campaign of Cyrodiil, he proved his worth but finally became prisonners after the battle of the Red Mountain. He was sent back to Alinor after the treaty of White Gold Concordate. It was a shame and a disgrace to his father who sent him to Skyrim at Thalmor embrassy.
His anger and frustration against his father grew again while he thought that decision was an insult to his skill and value. Tensions quickly appeared with Elenwen who was the archetype of the zealous subordonate. Elenwen saw him as a soft noble, unable to bear doing the "dirty work" during Talos worshippers "interrogations".
Exarch always believed Talos cult was an heresy, an insult to Auri-el and an end to the goal of Mers : ascending to Heaven and fullfil the destiny of his people to strip from the mortal plan. But in his mind it can only be achieved by preparing the Second War with the Empire, not by chasing fooled farmer and mad priests. Skyrim people has been fooled by Talos, the warbringer, same as Mens were fooled by the treacherous Lorkhan.
Elenwen decided to discard Exarch by sending him alone on the field, under cover, as a mercenary, an Altmer from Cyrodiil. His mission is simple and boring : collect bounties from jarls in order to gain their trust, and collect Intel on their supposed secret allegeance to Talos.
But the return of dragons might decide otherwise..."
