Physical Description: Talward looks disheveled. His curly brown hair is almost always in his face, sometimes covering the blindfold he wears over his eyes. If he can’t see there’s not much reason to keep his hair out of there. He’s a wreck and while he tries to keep at least some semblance of propriety, it’s part of his inner nature to be a hot mess.

Dislikes:
Skills and Abilities: Conjuration, Artifice, Mysticism, Enchantment, especially in the service of mechanical work, some Destruction spells even though he finds that kind of magic boring, a little bit of Restoration magic he’s been learning at the Temple but he’s not great at it, enough Alteration to levitate around and cast a few shields, a font of trivial knowledge.
He’s mostly blind from an experiment gone wrong with the fungus that turned the Falmer blind. Specifically, he’s extremely photosensitive and has to wear a blindfold when he’s in anything but the dimmest light to protect his eyes. To help him around, he bound a Scamp to act as his seeing eye familiar. He gets around pretty well with it and has perfected his connection with it to have a pretty good sense of what it sees and feels.

Their past:The Metharoms are a middle-class wizard family from Port Telvannis with high hopes for their children. From an early age, he was insatiably curious and devoured every book in every tower where his parents and extended family and their allies worked. His interests ranged widely, from translated texts of Sload necromancy to dry manuals on improving salt rice harvests through new alchemical discoveries, but every time, he would keep coming back to the Dwemer. He was fascinated by their technology, unreproducible but sturdy enough to live on long after their creators, their heretical denial of all gods and their worship of Reason and Logic, their mysterious origins and mysterious disappearance; he had found what would be his lifelong obsession.
When he became an adult, he joined up with a cabal of other Dwemer scholars in the House to pool their intellects and resources together to uncover the secrets of creating their own animunculi constructs. The plan was to offer up the robot army to anyone who would sponsor their advancement, but Talward didn’t care as much about the promotions as he did about the discovery. He traveled to ruins all over eastern Tamriel and catalog everything he found there for further experimentation. His experiments varied wildly between extremely promising work with powering simple mechanical devices with soul gems to a disastrous attempt to discern the alchemical properties of a species of fungus that he’d consistently find in the slave pits that left him mostly blind.
Despite the progress he was making, he and his cabal were getting impatient. The soul gems were the key, they knew, but they weren’t quite sure how to make it work for complex tasks. Reasoning that the Lord of Domination over Souls would probably know something about how to make souls dance to your commands, Talward suggested summoning a servant of Molag Bal. The ritual went terribly wrong with the Daedra slaughtering most of the cabal and a number of bystanders in the street before the guards were able to banish them. The cabal disbanded as a high profile failure. Talward was one of the few survivors, and the ones who were left blamed him for the fiasco.
Current situation: With his reputation in House Telvanni ruined, Talward took the oaths of service to the Tribunal and disappeared into Holamayan Monastery for a few decades, though he’s started to take a more public-facing role in the Temple lately and is highly invested in the building of Vivec.
