BIO: Kyne’s parents died the day after she was born due to a Thalmor patrol attacking her home. She was sent to Honorhall Orphanage in Riften where she stayed there until she was eight. She always used to go outside of the city walls and hunt (when she could), and became a great archer. However, Kyne also had a bad habit; she always used to wander the streets of Riften at nighttime, sneaking out of the orphanage and into stores to steal things. Kyne used to run into thieves who would be having trouble picking the locks to the closed shops and Kyne would offer to help. She would pick the locks, the thieves amazed at this young girl’s talent. One night while Kyne was wandering, she ran into Mercer Fray, the leader of the Thieves Guild. Mercer and Kyne established a friendship together, and pretty soon, Mercer adopted Kyne.
Mercer taught Kyne all he knew about sneaking and thieving. Pretty soon, Kyne would take on small contracts in Riften to steal something. By the age of thirteen, Kyne turned into a prodigy, going out of the city with various members of the Thieves Guild to other cities and holds within
Skyrim. At sixteen, Kyne was one of the best thief’s in the Guild, taking on major contracts and bringing in most of the coin to Guild.
One night Mercer disappeared, saying that he had to go on a contract. Kyne was suspicious, however, because Mercer never left Riften, always giving the contracts to the other members. She questioned him when he got back, and he kept making excuses, never telling her the truth. When the Guild ran into some bad luck, Kyne grew more suspicious. Many members left and the Guild vaults slowly began to dry up, like the Guild wasn’t making enough coin. Mercer took Kyne to Snow Veil Sanctum after they began to unravel who was making the Guild have bad luck, where Mercer nearly murdered Kyne, admitting that he made the Guild fall into bad times. Kyne felt betrayed and became more cautious towards others.
Kyne was saved by a mysterious Dunmer by the name of Karliah. Karliah revealed that she was one of Mercer’s friends before he murdered the old Guild leader, Gallus. She told Kyne that in order for the Guild to fall back into place, Mercer would have to die. When that day came, it turned out that Kyne had to kill Mercer. She didn’t want to kill Mercer, however, because he was the only one who took her in when nobody else would, but Kyne had another family to turn to: the Guild. She decided to kill Mercer, and (which scared her) she found that she liked it.
Kyne liked killing and took some Dark Brotherhood jobs on. She wasn’t part of the Dark Brotherhood, though; she just overheard some contracts and went to do them. She got on the Brotherhood’s bad side by doing this. She was being hunted down, and then one night, she was taken in the middle of the night to an abandoned shack. She then joined them. She grew up to be very independant and self-reliant, only turning to her good friends in times of need. She worked up the ranks in both the Thieves Guild and the Dark Brotherhood very quickly, honing her skills in sneak, archery, and speech.
At twenty, Kyne was traveling all across Tamriel, doing various missions for the Guild and the Brotherhood. She went by the alias, Nightshade, a name that soon came to fear. She would assassinate high officials in the Empire. One day, she got a contract to kill the Emperor of Tamriel, Titus Mede II. She went to go leave
Skyrim before the winter storms closed the pass between Cyrodiil and
Skyrim. She ran into a bit of trouble when she walked right into an Imperial ambush. She was knocked over the head, the Imperials thinking that she was a Stormcloak, and was sent off to Helgen to be beheaded.
After esaping Helgen, she became friends with a fellow prisoner, Tiber, and went on adventures with him. After a few months of exploring Tamriel, she went back to being a thief and assassin, doing random jobs everywhere, sometimes taking Tiber along with her.
