BACKGROUND
Johan was born in Skyrim. His Mother was a Nord, native to the island, and his Father was an Imperial merchant. When Johan was four, his Father's work took him and his family back to Cyrodiil, and so Johan grew up in the Imperial province.

When Johan was in his late twenties his father died, and his Mother left to go back to her family in Skyrim, Johan deciding to stay behind in his adopted homeland. However, without the influence of his family, he fell into drinking heavily and hanging out with groups of other Nords in taverns. When the Oblivion story starts he is in prison, having been arrested for being drunk and causing damage to property.

STORY
Given a second chance, Johan vowed to clean up, and joined the Fighters Guild. He is now the Master of the guild, and is most proud of the fact. He has retired from adventuring and lives in 'Arborwatch', very close to the guild headquarters in Chorrol, with his dog Germaine. His best friend and second-in-command Modryn Oreyn is a frequent visitor.

NOTES
Johan is my typical 'starter character' for an Elder Scrolls game. Male, Nord, Fighter. Honest, loyal, true, and a good friend, though not tremendously bright. A do everything character (which is how he ended up being Arch-Mage, which doesn't fit him from a role-playing perspective at all). Like my Morrowind starter character Brotha, he became a 'power-player' get all the best gear type. I'm more interested in role-playing my characters now, so Johan is retired.
