Tarrov Morakahn

Tarrov Morakahn, a name that sparks both fear and hatred into the people of Skyrim. A divisive Dunmer who is, depending on who you ask a terrorist, murderer, hero or martyr.

Backround:

Morakahn was born on the island of Soulstheim in a time unknown. During his time on the island, he grew to have an infatuation Hermaeus Mora. Sometime after he grew up, Tarrov would move to mainland Skyrim and began to study at the College of Winterhold where he found he had an aptitude for magic. However his time there was cut short due to an incident involving Tarrov being caught stealing books containing forbidden knowlege. Soon after Morakahn left and began a cult of like minded mages whose aim was to summon Mora to Nirn, hoping he would bestow upon them forbidden knowlege. At the advent of the Dragon Crisis, Tarrov fell into a deep meditative state, leaving his less than capable deputy, Argus in charge.

New Kingdoms Chapter 2:

Tarrov awoke 10 years after the crisis, declaring that Mora had a grand plan for Nirn. Mora told Tarrov while in meditation that he would need souls in order to carry him over to Nirn. Tarrov decided that the first place where souls would be reaped would be Kynesgrove. He lead a detatchment of cultists and exterminated the population there, and put the settlement under a thick layer of ice. With the settlement destroyed, Tarrov killed one of his own mages in order to blame the attack on the College, thereby hoping to strain already tense relations between Winterhold and Windhelm.

It was after the attack that Tarrov, through Argus learnt of Hydrofury, a chemical weapon that converts water into fire as well as causing mass structual damage. The first major test of Hydrofury was the detonation of three bombs in Windhelms harbor, destroying it and causing mass damage to the walls around it.

Tarrov then attacked Hollyfrost farm with a detatchment of mages. The attack went as planned, only to be foiled by the arrival of Alaric, deputy commander of the Templar. The Templar were defeated, and Tarrov disfigured their corpses and stripped half of Alarics' face of skin tissue and left him for dead in the sea.

The next target was Dawnstar. Tarrov once again struck and destroyed a large portion of the seaside city in a hydrofury tsunami.
