In a dark desolate place in Hammerfell a young boy lived with his father and his six older brothers, and he was a son to a man who also had six older brothers. He was known as a seventh son of a seventh son and people believed that those who are seventh sons of seventh sons had special gifts, supposedly that of gods could only receive.
So the young boy his name Joseph became love struck with his greed for everlasting power. At first he used his god like powers to help his desperate family and he began using his magic to kill animals with just a click of his fingers. His family were soon getting great glorious tasting meals day in, day out and he was happy that he was supporting his poor weak desperate family with only a bit of magic which never took much out of him.
Joseph then began to use his ever growing powers to grant his family luxuries they never thought they could have like he changed the once run down rotting wooden house into a beautiful mansion filled with luxurious furniture and beautiful chandeliers. It was the place of their hopeless dreams now turned into real life. Their hearts were filled with happiness and affection for Joseph, the boy who changed their lives.
But one night Joseph was awoken by a creature who stood watching over him while he silently slept. The creature looked like a type of angel, not one who was almighty and beautiful, but one who was black as night and gave off a a feeling of heartless cold. The creatures wings were not made of white pretty feathers, but black feathers off crows and hagravens.
The creature was one of nightmares and pure darkness, one that all would fear by just setting eyes upon it's dark cruel body. But Joseph felt no fear. He looked at the creature like he was looking at his own flesh and blood, the creature did not send a chill into his heart instead the creature gave the young boy more power, but power of evil and mercilessness. The creature told the young boy lies like how his parents didn't love the boy, they only wanted him to help improve their poor pathetic lives.
Joseph believed the dark hearted creature, and he took every word to belief. He was filled with hatred and anger towards his family and he swore vengeance upon them. The next day Joseph confronted his father, but every time his father said he loved Joseph in Joseph's mind a voice spoke to him telling his they were lies and Joseph believed the voice and then the argument became so heated Joseph cold heatedly killed his father using dark magic.
After his fathers death he took control of the family and made sure they each did as he said or death was to follow. His eldest brother Brian attempted to kill Joseph, but Brian's life was ended swiftly and painlessly and the others were shocked and also horrified at what their once loving caring loved one had become. A monster. A boy of evil and corruptness.
One day the second youngest brother managed to escape and he fled to a city nearby to seek help from the inhabitants there. While he was gone Joseph brutally murdered his brothers and his mother and then left the house and went missing for six long years. He later returned with a mass army of bandits and they began to rain havoc upon Hammerfell.
The armies of darkness swept through the land and Joseph the Dark Mage of the Angel of Death as he was named, destroyed everyone and everything in his path. Then when hope was nearly completely vanquished a group of the most powerful mages in Tamriel cam together and destroyed The Dark Mages armies of darkness and the mages then turned their attention to their main enemy who they defeated in combat.
Joseph lost nearly all his power so he went on the run, always hiding from the mages as they searched for him all over Tamriel. Joseph had traveled so far, all the way to Blackmarsh and then even to Summerset Isle, but he returned back to his home, the beautiful mansion where he had killed his parents and all his brothers, but one. Brian; the brother that lived also searched for Joseph and Brian did find Joseph and they dueled to the death with powerful magic and despite the major magic loss Joseph had suffered he still prevailed and killed Brain.
After that he decided that staying on Nirn was too dangerous, so he created his own realm; a realm only he and those he wished could enter. After he entered his realm the mages still continued looking until they had all died out and so the events are recorded as myth and then the myth turned into legend. Everyone believed it was just a old wives tale, but who knows Myths are Legends, but Legends, could be Truth...
