High Ulfgar

Ulfgar Stormcoat, Jarl of Windhelm, High King of Skyrim, His Majesty, Ulfgar The First of House Stormcoat. Ulfgar is a tall, broad shouldered, and rather muscular Khajiit with thick grayish black fur with small jagged lines of gray resembling small thunderbolts running down his backs and arms, culminating in his given name “Stormcoat”. He has silver eyes with slit pupils, large pointed triangular ears and a long fluffy tail. He often wears thick bearskin fur coats with simple fine robes underneath. On more formal occasions, he wears The High Crown, consisting of a circlet of gold set with square cut rubies and oval cut emeralds around it. Not much is known about Ulfgar’s younger life, only that his parents immigrated from Elsweyr to the Northern provinces of Skyrim. Ulfgar first rose to prominence due to his involvement in the Markarth Incident, which began when he and his militia successfully retook the city. For their part in taking Markarth, Ulfgar and his mostly Khajiit militia were permitted to worship the God of Heroes, Talos, by the Jarl Hrolfdir. However they were soon arrested in order to appease xenophobic Thalmor. After his release, Ulfgar regrouped with his old comrades and reformed his militia, who took the name The Stormcoats, after their commander, together they would engage in skirmishes against The Empire. Later in 4E 201, Ulfgar killed the High King Torygg, in a duel, allegedly with the power of the Thu’um, opening a power vacuum that sparked civil war in Skyrim. Being crowned Jarl of Windhelm by its people, Ulfgar would turn his militia into a full military force, which he used to besiege Whiterun and overthrow its own Jarl, replacing him with one of his Brothers in Arms, Bjorn Hardpaws. After further victories, the remaining Jarls agreed to meet in a Moot to elect a new High King, with Ulfgar being unanimously elected, becoming the first non Nordic King in ages. Taking seat in The Palace of Kings in Windhelm, Ulfgar started his reign by ordering the explosion of Imperials from Skyrim, returning the province to a semi-independent Kingdom governed by separate Jarls who were allowed to govern their lands as they saw fit, so long as they continued to swear fealty and pay their tributes to The High King.
