#And *please* keep in mind that he worships a NON CANON MOLAG BAL. One that isn't a rapist. One that isn't horrid.

Tumblr accidentally wiped this post, so this is take 2 of Sathi's lore.

Starting with personality, he's ruthless, reckless, and brave in battle, but shy and cautious just about everywhere else. His cruelty in combat occasionally bleeds through into his personal life; disturbing comments, purposeful intimidation, but a large majority of the time, he's simply anxious and awkward.

Generally speaks in a straight to the point manner, but isn't inclined to speak most of the time. The few people he does bond with, he tends to keep close for a very long time, and is more than ready to defend them if need be.

Formerly worked as a guard across Morrowind, before eventually settling down in Solstheim. Admittedly, I rarely focus on backstory, so this part gets a bit dubious.

During his time within the lower ranks of guards on Solstheim, he violently stood up to a superior making a controlling, bigoted comment, and this got him tossed in prison.

Now is a good time to explain - Sathi's motives are exclusively to protect others and for the freedom of his people, the Dunmer. What this means and how he enacts it will become clearer later on, as he chooses options he would never have thought to before, but he very much encourages violence as an answer.

This leads to his chosen Daedric Prince - a very non-canon Molag Bal (yours truly).

After forming a pact to act on Bal's whims - claiming the souls of anyone he gets the chance to regardless of status - Sathi earns The Mace of Molag Bal, and subsequently breaks out of jail. (Note: this mostly means "Sathi kills fascists and bigots both on his and Molag Bal's behalf." My sphere was, more or less, rightful punishment.)

He is wanted dead in most places in Morrowind and Skyrim.

This pact had some fully informed and intended side effects, however.

Sathi is one of the most deadly, and easily hidden, types of Vampires - the Coldharbour variety. With power gifted directly from Molag Bal himself, this makes Sathi more than a small threat.

Despite being smart and strong, and previously working mostly as a torturer in the guard system, he's not quite able to outsmart the people he needs information from.

Usually, this leads to him intimidating them. Which is something he's going to think very deeply about over the course of the little story I have going for him in my mind.

It's a slow going process, but one he excels at.

Present day, he's working on slowly but surely furthering his goals, and making new friends and foes along the way. Foes that somewhat include himself.

Sathi has begun to realize that the way he's going about things could easily become the exact thing he's fighting against - control, fear, and unnecessary cruelty. Each fight he wins, every bigot and barbarian he tortures, each battlefield he's stained with blood, he's slowly coming to regret and question. And is very much at a crossroads.
