Her family had the man kicked out of town and she lived the next few decades as a hollow jaded shell of herself. Her daughter ran away as a teen and following the death of her Father, the weight and power of her family fell to her. With it, she had it dismantled and orchestrated a riot that left the town in flames. She traveled to the North-West shores in search of her Daughter and mate. After a series of assassination attempts, they were all reunited.

Sanbosm:
A Nord that rose through the ranks of the Telvanni against all odds. After countless attempts to pin a crime on him to have him demoted, one succeeded. As he was being arrested by the treacherous Serethi family, he slew his captors and and ordered back to Port Telvannis to face punishment. Under constant promise of promotion, he was given increasingly more dangerous tasks, though he never again rose above Oathman. His primary goal became the striking down of cults in those troubled lands, with a particular Sixth House offshoot cultist being his main target. He and the leader of this cult clashed many times, with one or the other always managing to escape. At last, he felled his mark and was reunited with his family.

Assut:
A powerful illusionist and Ordinator-In-Mourning from Necrom, he watched his life fall apart via letter as distance strained the relationship with his wife. After all was lost, he went on an eternal pilgrimage to holy sites in hopes of redeeming himself. His travels at last brought him to Red Mountain in it's final days, with the largest eruption occurring during his visit. His comrades died on the peak and he only survived by climbing into a fallen Dwemeri bell. He and the bell were flung skyward in the explosion, the gongs of his head striking the walls drove him to madness. He awoke a changed man and with his illusions, came to lead a Sixth House based cult that preyed on the weak-minded and brought them under his wing. He made monsters of men and his mere presence caused nightmares in those lands. He came to face Sanbosm several times, and in their final battle, a blow to his head brought back memories of who he one was. He tried to restore his cult for a time, peddling an altered version of his promises to the Argonians and more troubled Dunmer in the conflicted territories. There, he took in a disfigured vampire who soon betrayed him. He walked the roads of Morrowind for some years before his memories were fully restored. He left an illusion of his past-self at many crossroads in hopes that one of his descendants would find it, and one eventually did.

He was injured in the riot and was left with but one arm and burns from head to toe. He slew his caregiver and swore revenge against his sister. He pulled strings in the background for a time, eventually inflicting himself with vampirism in an attempt to alleviate his eternal itch and pain. It made it worse. He eventually came to Assut, feigning loyalty, only to betray him at first opportunity and take his monsters as his own.
