Alduin's father disagreed with the snow elfs beliefs, so he left Fenn when Alduin was a young lad and headed out into the woods where they lived for a couple years. but human bandits found it and stole everything and burned the house down killing Adluin's mother. luckily Alduin's older sister and father and Alduin himself survived. this made hatred run into Alduin's heart for all humans. they had to go back to fenn. after Adluin's father died of a rare sickness Alduin left Fenn again (his older sister stayed at fenn) and hunted down the Bandits and killed them. his cousin from Holm told him of the Ancient History of Atlas and Urguan's treasure that he hid underground really caught his attention so he headed out and traveled Atlas in search of it. Alduin loves gold and treasure he would do almost anything to get it.
