Caceius Palladia - He replaced a woman Edition

Caceius Palladia a mage from the Imperial City. He taught destruction magic in the Imperial College of Whispers, mostly electric oriented, to aspiring mages.  Somewhat talented in shock spells and has a small Iron Tanto strapped on his boot for close combat. He was kicked out of the College of Whispers for sleeping with one of his students. In his depression he began drinking heavily. He travel to Bruma and was planning to get to Winterhold to join the College there. The night was late and he decided to stay at the Inn. He bumped into a rather stoic looking nord in dark armor. Caceius in a slight drunken slur mocked the nord who was looking so sad and angry. He called this nord a milkdrinker and challenged him to a drinking contest, he lost. Caceuis wasnt sure what it was, but he was feeling sick and left the inn to vomit outside. After vomiting up half the mead he just drank, he stumbled to the ground and his vision got hazey. The next morning he woke up in the Temple with a priestest tending to him with restoration magic. When he asked what happened to priestest said a kind looking nord dragged him into the temple last night, claiming he was poisoned. She made a hand motion indicating the man who dragged him inside was still here. Caceius sat up to see the same nord in dark dawnguard armor asleep on one of the temples pews. He awoke the nord and asked for his name, he said he just goes by the name Snakestone, and asked if he was okay. Unsure why a man he verbally assaulted would help him like this he just shook the nords hand and told him he’ll be fine. Snakestone sat up and patted his back telling him that he should drink so heavily in his old age, a mans life is short, and then left.


After a few days passed and Caceius regained his health from a drinking binge, and possibly posioning, he set off to Skyrim and then Winterhold. The words of the young nord stuck in his head. He kept thinking about how a mans life is much shorter than a mers, let alone the dunmer who use magic to extend thier lifespans. He decided when he got to the College of Winterhold he would start studying restoration and alteration, he is devouted to trying to extend mens life through the means of magic.
