Talionius Syagrian(Last Dragonborn)

High King Talionius of Skyrim ( also known as the Last Dragonborn, the Grand Regent of All Tamriel, and the Bane of Alduin) is the main protagonist in The Dragonborn Emperor playthrough. He is the current Grand Regent of the Tamriellic Empire; having murdered Titus Mede II alongside the Dark Brotherhood and rising to the rank of General/Military within the Imperial Legion.

After the events of the Skyrim Civil War and the death of Emperor Titus Mede II of the Third Empire; the Dragonborn sought to crown himself High King of Skyrim after the Moot of the Dragon, in which he was elected as the new High King. After their cooperation with the Dark Brotherhood in the assassination of the Emperor, the Dragonborn using their dragon blood as a justification, officially laid claim to the now vacant Imperial throne in 208 4E. With the creation of the New Tamriellic Empire, the new Grand Regent has sought to destroy the remnants of the Stormcloaks and begin a march towards the Imperial City; secretly hoping to coronate himself as the Emperor of Tamriel when the time comes...

Early Life
The man who grew up to be the Last Dragonborn has very few records on his early life or family; only allowing certain information about who he was before he came to Skyrim be known to the general public and scholars throughout Tamriel.

The Last Dragonborn was born Talonius Bendu Syagian in the province of Cyrodill around the year 183 4E, barely 10 years after the Great War. By this point in the Era, the once powerful Tamriellic Empire founded by the Septims was in ruin: having lost its western and eastern provinces to rebellions and the Aldmeri Dominion. The now crumbling Empire was being held together through the sheer military prowess of the Emperor Titus Mede II; and his generals. The family of Talonius is widely believed in Skyrim to have perished during a Aldmeri attack during the Great War, with the young boy being adopted by a couple who both had previously served in the war as soldiers.

In 187 4E, fearing the possible execution of the infant Talonius due to the increasing Thalmor patrols within Cyrodill, the family would move north to the county of Burma; near the border of Skyrim. This is where the young boy would first encounter one of the many living beings within Skyrim : a Frostbite Spider. While playing a game of hide and seek, the creature would emerge from the nearby mountains and bite the young boy. Using a nearby branch, the boy would fend off the spider until a few imperials came and brought him to safety. Ever since this point in time, Talonius would develop a great hatred and fear of the creature, which would lead to Decree 48 early in his reign as High King of Skyrim.

Adulthood & Arrival to Skyrim

By mid 195 4E, the Thalmor would finally catch up with the young couple and their adoptive son, Talonius. Although having used his middle name Bendu as his first name in official documents, Thalmor spies had discovered what his real name was, exposing the family for secretly worshipping Talos(as well as finding a shrine in their home.) Sometime in Frost Fall of that same year, two Thalmor agents were sent to their home in order to take the couple away, along with their son. When they arrived, they were attacked by Talonius’ adoptive father, hoping to stall in order for his wife and son to escape. He was eventually slain by the Thalmor after brutal combat. The Thalmor then tracked the remaining two who were attempting to flee to Skyrim via the Jerall Mountain passes. While they were able to capture the adoptive mother of Talonius, they were unable to find the boy; who was able to escape by running to a cave; just north of Applewatch.

Life in the Jerall Mountains
For many weeks, the young Talonius remained hidden within the cave, feeding off of local plants and rodents with a iron dagger his father had given him years prior. Eventually he was discovered by a band of smugglers, who took him under their wing.

During this time, he would learn to master combat in One Handed weaponry, as well as having training in two handed weaponry and archery. He would also learn some of the arcane arts with the help of a former mage, who had been banished from the College and became a bandit. He would learn basic spells such as Healing & Flames; would come of great use once he travelled to the College in 202 4E and became a Mage of the College; eventually ascending to the rank of Arch Mage after Argo Sven’s death.

For the next few years until 201 4E, he would live life as a illegal tradesman and bandit until being caught by Imperial soldiers crossing the border into Skyrim after a routine supply run.

Capture and freedom after the Helgen attack
After Talonius was captured at the border by Imperial soldiers for crossing illegally, he was loaded into a prisoner cart alongside the recently captured Ulfric Stormcloak and his accomplices. However, due to his Imperial citizenship he was mistakenly placed with them( And likely was a administrative error as Imperials had full immunity in terms of crossing border lines into separate provinces.)

Arriving at Helgen, he could sense a distant roar in the large mountains surrounding the town, but chose to ignore it; thinking it was just due to him not having a sufficient amount of food in days. After being taken from the cart and placed in a line for execution, one of the Officers, Hadvar, realized that he was in fact not a rebel; but a loyal Imperial citizen(although they were unaware of his smuggling past). The Imperial Captain present insisted that he was still to be executed.

As he was being placed on the chopping block, a roar and a flash quickly disrupted the execution; with Alduin the World Eater appearing and began to attack the town itself, killing the executioner just as he was lifting his axe. In the chaos Hadvar, Talonius, and the Stormcloaks were able to escape into the caverns, with Talonius and Hadvar having to defend themselves against a Stormcloak attack. When the two made it out of the cavern, they travelled to Riverwood in order to make it to safety.
