Summary

A very, very long time ago, some village in Skyrim was being overrun by a Vampire Lord and his coven. Until an idiot farmboy had the idea to summon a Daedric Prince! Clavicus Vile offered him the power to kill the Lord and his followers; since Clavicus Vile is known for his sense of humor, this had the side effect of erasing the man's memory and turning him into a vampire, because whats funnier than, "Ho HO!!!! You want to DESTROY a MONSTER but in TURN you BE COME ONE!!! HO HO!!! IRONIC!" 

And so Andriel was (re)born! He's very strong, very fast, and heals very quickly, but besides that has no other vampiric abilities. However, he does get. Antsy. If he doesn't kill something for a few days. Thanks, New Dad Clavicus! Cool Gift!

Additionally, he's functionally immortal; if he gets his head chopped off, or burned to death, he just turns to ash and wakes up at Vile's nearest shrine.  He uses this cool talent to try to bully the larger vampiric covens into being less ghoulish, since he is a problem that absolutely will not go away until you agree to stop razing villages and putting peoples heads on stakes.

Since he has a lot (a LOT) of free time, Andriel's pet project is cataloging vampiric strains and cataloguing the histories of vampires in Tamriel. Also I guess that's Ironic and Funny too.......Can't remember his own past, so he writes down others............Tragic........He'll also act as an intermediary for various vampire clans seeking to negotiate hunting grounds and whatnot. He's a useful enough guy to have around!

Andriel is formal, polite, and levelheaded. He's not easily ruffled, but he does get really REALLY into battling things. He's surprisingly nurturing and self-sacrificing for a vampire? Just does what he can to be good to others I suppose.  Pragmatic, not in a mean or condescending way, more in a "I've been alive for like a dozen centuries and I know how to be realistic" kind of way. Deals with any and all negative emotions by stuffing them down so deep, he's probably not even aware he's doing it. 

Returned to Skyrim for the first time in a few centuries in 4E199 to find the Volkihar Clan and the Dawnguard prepping for a real knockdown drag-out fight. He is dragged into this knockdown drag-out fight, because in his negotiations with the Volkihars centuries ago, he agreed to come to their aid when they need it. However once shit goes down for real, he and his new bf Ronthil hightail it out of there because Andriel isn't going to let his boyfriend die for something stupid like "honor" or "keeping promises to omnicidal nobles". They wind up at the College of Winterhold and do that questline. Ronthil gets a bed to sleep in and friends who are nice to him. Life is good.

Facts:

• From the Pale.
• Uses sword and shield primarily.
• Also very good at conjuring Daedra and Illusion/Destruction spells. He's had a lot of time to practice.
• Would burn to die in the sun within like. Three minutes.
• Since he's so specialized, he doesn't have any vampiric resistance to frost. This means he gets really cold, which he hates! He also can't see in the dark any better than the average human. Make fun of him for this.
• He and Ronthil adopt a Fantasy Brussels Griffon named Bramble after Ilya suggested they get Ronthil a Fantasy Service Dog. Later they get two Fantasy Anatolian Sheperd Dogs named Daffodil and Belladonna because Ilya was like "okay sure this little thing is cool but i DID mean an actual dog."
