Preamble: Sorry for the "unique" style of character sheet here but I had an idea long ago, went with it and revised it for this guild. If you want me to make a more traditional character sheet, let me know but I think this will cover all the required sections.

Name
> First-, middle-, last name
Hirel val'Undosome, the Undosome line of the Mer, have an extensive legacy of citizenship within and outside of the Summerset Isles. The Undosome family has primarily been Imperialists in the sense that expansionist future-forward thinking about the stability and prosperity of the Altmer, the Aldmeri and by extension all of Tamriel and Nirn is what is best for all men, Mer and in between is a key theme of their family lineage. In the current political environment, the Undosome support the Queen's expansionists desire, the Queen’s intent for equality among races of the Aldmeri Dominion and the Queen’s influence on the next ruler of Cyrodiil, while brow-beating and leading public discourse and debate against those in the Aldmeri Dominion that support isolationists ideologies. (This does not imply that Hirel actually knows the Queen. Her family line is just under their political and social influence.) The recent crisis of Morlag Bal's plane meld only highlights the Undosome's ideology. For Hirel, just as the Altmer as a whole are influenced by both her Queen and her family ties, her own personal outlook, up until recently, followed much the same view with some deviation of recent that the threat of the Planemeld supersedes any political intent on Cyrodiil and the recent faction wars. Among her personal friends, she is called "Hirel" or "The Dragon" by her lover and now wife.

General Information
> Age and birthsign
Somewhere in the middle of her 2nd century of life, she was born under the sign of the Serpent. She has been said to take on the only known common characteristic of those born under this sign, being blessed and cursed as well. Coupled with her tendency to wander away from the security of Summerset, and that fact that her magical practices of draconic power as a Dragon-Knight, firmly places her within her birth sign. Meanwhile. her apparent age places her in her mid to late 20s by Men’s reckoning.
> 'At first glimpse...'
While physically not the tallest of Altmer, Hirel's immediate impression is that she is a wall. Whether this is due to the way she carries herself, her posture, her armor, her body language or the way she shows no fear or shyness when eyeballing anyone in front of her, she is an imposing figure that brings many to stop in their tracks. The blood-red of her armor, covering nearly every inch of her flesh both Orcish and Deadric influences in design, that center around Altmer-designed themes furthers that same impression. Though she prefers to keep her helm doffed, for the most part, letting her piercing green deep-set eyes glare at those around her, her helm when worn screams at those she encounters that she was once the ultimate extension of Aldmeri authority.
History
> Background
Hirel val'Undosome grew up in the smaller outpost of Kandar Watch surrounded by the influence of Summerset power and law. Her immediate family and her extended line served to cultivate the young maiden in her early years, instilling early her sense of outward outlook, looking away from the isles as her future. Poised at the watch, her exposure to the explorers returning from Auridon brought with them the stories of danger, adventures, intrigue and wonders from the wider Tamriel that shaped her drive to see more than just the Isle that she had lived on.
When the Altmer came of age, she followed the shortest route to that larger world, joining the then former Queen's expedition forces, helping to seed the first possibilities of a united Aldmeri Dominion. Over the length of her career, this culminated in her being picked by the current Queen Ayrenn as one of the many Eye's of Queen up until that fateful day that Morlag Bal began his gathering of souls for his coming Planemeld. (Note: The Queen chose her as part of a large group promoted into the covert organization. Hirel and the Queen did not personally know each other, but her performance record spoke to her character and potential.)
Her assignment around that time was to investigate what turned out to be the seeds of the Veiled Heritance and during that raid on a Galathras estate that was invaded by Veiled Heritance outlaws, Morlag Bal ripped her away from Tamriel using a portal that was intended for Hirel's one-time unrequited love interest, Lexia Galathras.
Upon her escape from Coldharbour, Hirel did not immediately (or since) return to the service of the Eyes, partially because she knew, being taken by Molag Bal, and now without her own soul to speak of, too much suspicion would be laid upon her to have the full support of the Queen in her role as if nothing happened. (Note: None of Hirel’s experience with being ripped away to Coldharbour and her return during the Plane Meld implies implicitly or explicitly that she was anyone special chosen by any Daedric or Aedric being. She was just one of many souls harvested by the Big MB as the Planemeld started.)
Besides, she had her own concerns. Before she was taken, she was informed by her Bosmer informant, Fanya val'Loren that her person of interest, Lexia val'Galathras, the daughter of the same Patriarch Galathras that she had been assigned to watch over as a potential Veiled Heritance target, was about to be taken in a very similar way that Hirel was about to experience in her absconding to Coldharbour. When Hirel escaped Coldharbour, she discovered that both Lexia and Fanya were taken under similar circumstances and she set out to find them and bring them back home.
Since then, she had been able to track down Lexia from another unlikely encounter with Fanya's sister, Fanriel who was also looking for her sister, Fanya. Trading the information of what Hirel knew had happened to Fanya with Fanriel, Fanriel spoke to Hirel of a unique encounter of what certainly sounded like and was described as the Dibella Priestess, Lexia in a twist of fate, not being absconded to Coldharbour due to some shipwreck during her kidnapping that prevented the Priestess from being sent through the portal. Using that as a lead, she was able to track Lexia down and since that day, they have been on the road, with a new understanding of the threat that Molag Bal possesses with Planemeld to the Aldmeri Dominion, searching for Fanya and making contact with Razum Dar on occasion to report back into the Eyes with her progress in her larger fight against the Daedra, still bowing to Queen Ayrenn's needs and desires on occasion when called. Their unrequited interest in Lexia soon blossomed into requited love and the two wed under Mara soon after. (Note: Hirel doesn't have a personal relationship with Razum Dar, but as is typical of covert cells has, in the past ran information through the Khajit and vice versa on occasion in her time at work.)
> Factions and loyalties
Factions Order of Importance:
Queen Ayrenn
Eyes of the Queen
Aldmeri Dominion
Personal Loyalties:
Lexia Galathras
Fanya val'Loren
Patriarch Galathras
> Legacy
While still officially part of the Undosome line, Hirel doesn't put much dependence on it, having learned to be mostly self-sufficient and let her own record stand on its own for whatever name, glory or special consideration she might need. However, now her task is all very simple in that she must find and potentially rescue Fanya from her fate, recover her own soul from the clutches of Molag Bal and as a final step, ensure that the Aldmeri Dominion has an influential hand in the chosen ruler of Cyrodiil.
> Prejudice and judgement
Hirel is the child of her environment. So she has all the normally carried biases and prejudices of her Altmer kin, the superiority of her race among them. But she is also a child of her line. And in that, their support of Queen Ayrenn’s viewpoint of equality among races of the Aldmeri Dominion is, at least, publicly agreed with. So it is with Hirel, rationally she believes that each of the Dominion races are “equal” but there are moments where her upbringing betrays her assumptions that the Bosmer are her younger “cousins” that require guidance and the Khajit are the criminal underbelly of the orderly Aldmeri. Her view of the other races is circumspect. Once being one of “The Eyes of the Queen”, she wholly suspects all the other races affiliations with the other factions who want to see her Queen dead. The only thing that pacifies her outright bias is that she knows that they need the other races and factions to defeat Molag Bal and save Tamriel as a whole. So, the Dragon-Knight is conflicted, eyeing those of the other factions suspiciously while treating them as individuals once she gets to know them in their joint struggle against the Planemeld.
Appearance and physique
> Aesthetics
Hirel’s orange-reddish hair frames a chiseled hawkish face that surrounds her wide green eyes. She is built, whether Altmer-ly lithe or not, musculature bulging behind her armor. While she has a feminine semblance, her life as a Dragon-knight has kept her form fit and corded, ready to pounce. Her choice of dyed armor belays that same theme of red that even tinges her skin somewhat, her complexion sun-kissed. Pouting lips sit underneath a pointed, almost pixie-like nose. Strongly defined eyebrows draw angled lines that match her risen cheekbones and chiseled facial structure.
> Build
The nature of her training, her combat style and her role in combat has made her fit, sturdy, towering for her own height and built to the most efficient form that her biology would allow. While parts of her are certainly womanly every other muscle is designed to enable her to fight against those that would hold her will back. Bruises and cuts, minor to moderate injuries leave evidence of scars and slightly deformed bone structure that only add to the imposing figure.
> Trinkets and jewelry
Curiously, this Altmer has very little in the way of adornment. Almost as if she is lacking or intentionally erasing any identifiable family heirlooms.
> In their bag:
She carries a survivalist pack of exactly what she needs to carry the fight on the field of battle. Some of those contents might be blacksmithing or woodworking materials and tools if any allowance of more than required items is present. Artifacts, if so rare, would be some curious bones.
> Other details
A very uncommon rumor is that the Dragon-Knight is not just out about Tamriel to further the Queen’s power or destroy the Planemeld, that there is some ulterior motive that leads back to a single name. A sibling named Turin val’Undosome that has gone missing as well.
Strengths and weaknesses
> Personality
While quiet and reserved. Hirel is as opposing as she appears. She is a thinker, intelligent and observant. But in action, seemingly, she can snap into motion at any moment. Leaping into the fray. Like the old adage goes, she will “swing first, ask questions later” and this serves as both as a strength and weakness, often leaping into danger without fully analyzing the situation. She will intimidate her way through conversations as opposed to diplomacy and persuasion. This does not belay her ability to have an intelligent conversation but it does definitely set the mood of it, a slim edged force on the periphery of any discussion.
> Talents and weaknesses
Hirel has a strong hand and with that potential for destruction, it is balanced with creation. She is an adept blacksmith as well as wood-worker and has some experiences in making simple clothing.
On the other hand, while the Dragon-Knight knows how to stay out of sight fairly well, she has slim ability in keeping quiet while moving, even worse if she’s asked to perform tasks or break into locations, more apt to use a charging pauldron-covered shoulder to get past a door versus a lockpick.
Her above mentioned apparent impatience, her snap judgments and rushing headlong into battle, and a temper in conversations are all said to be weaknesses among those with more social tact and awareness.
As previously mentioned, she has prejudices and biases. She might try to put her best foot forward in relations with other races but she has that tendency to speak her thoughts plainly which exposes her belief in stereotypes and assumptions of factional malice.
> Motivations
Aldmeri (and Altmer) Dominance, the Queen’s visions of the future, the elimination of the Planemeld and her need to find Fanya are all the very public reasons why Hirel is an active participant of the faction wars and the war against Morlag Bal. What isn’t well known is what will not be documented here.
