This is literally my current character in the game but without Shouts...

Name: Haldir.

Gender: Male

Race: Nord

Age: 228

Class: Not sure what he qualifies as.... let's just say "Jack-of-all-trades".

Spells: Restoration, specifically "Fast Healing" and "Healing Hands".

Appearance: Long black hair, blue war paint over one eye. Slightly over average build.

Attire: The Ancient Falmer set(I love the "White Knight" look of it), and a silver and sapphire circlet(at least I think that's what it is) with fortify magicka.

Weapon(s): Elven greatsword(of what we would call "legendary" quality) with frost and shock enchantments named "Glamdring". Auriel's Bow (you didn't say uniques weren't allowed)

Item(s): Lockpicks. Lots of lockpicks... also torches and steel arrows.

Backstory: His life was good, back at the beginning of the Fourth Era, when he was a captain in the Imperial army. Then he became a Vampire. He spent the next 201 years with a group in northern Cyrodiil. He always vanished from the place on Molag Bal's summoning day. He wanted to be as far away as possible from the disgusting "ritual". It was 4E 200 when he found out he could be cured. He got it done, and he then went to Skyrim to start over. He soon found himself waking up in a cart with a Jarl, a soldier, another unfortunate traveler, and a horse thief. He was going to be executed, until the dragon came.

After he escaped he joined the Companions. He ascended to the Circle quickly, and was suprised when the other traveler from Helgen arrived, asking to join up. After the quasi-war with The Silver Hand, he began to question the Beastblood. He left, and joined the Dawnguard. When he found Serana in that crypt, he was suprised at first, then repulsed when he realized what she was, then suprised again when he realized that she may be almost like he had been as a Vampire. He refused Harkon's gift, and soon found himself caught up in an ancient prophecy. When he and Serana found Valerica in the Soul Cairn(he was partially soul trapped) he gave her a piece of his mind about her plan. When Valerica expressed doubt that he could kill Harkon, he told her before he left that "You know how you said I couldn't defeat Harkon? Watch me."

He donned Vyrthur's armor after they retrieved the bow, and it was during the journey to assault Volkihar that he realized he had romantic feelings about Serana. He set them aside, planning to talk with her later. The final confrontation went on for hours, until Haldir defeated Harkon with his Werewolf form(something I think should have been possible in the game).

Upon returning to Fort Dawnguard, Haldir convinced Serana to go and think about getting cured. He himself went to Ysgramor's Tomb and used one of the witch heads to cure himself of lycanthropy, it would be plain hypocritical of him to tell Serana to cure herself and not get rid of his own curse. Besides, what he read in Kodlak's journal about the elderly man's dream told him that he simply must do this. And he wanted to see Sovngarde someday.

Serana did not return for months. He was a broken man. He sat on a bench in the fort for two days with his head on the table before Isran was able to give him new motivation. There were rumors of a woman matching her description departing on a ship, headed towards what was believed to be the ancestral home of the Nords. He heard of the expedition and joined up immediately.
