Formerly a member of a long forgotten Ashlander clan, Caeseji Arkenrae made her living as a mercenary for whomever could pay the bills, a woman rooted in her origins she sent back money to her clan to help raise the new generation and pay them back for giving her care and succor when her own parents were slaughtered by Daedra. Caeseji found herself enthralled in the politics of her people and those of the great houses, they paid well but with their views on her own people in the 1st era she was conflicted with her choices in employers but she was in high demand due to her emulation of the Akaviri fighting style.
However, her association with the Ashlander tribes would come back to bite her as the Daedra that had slaughtered her family sowed discord within the great houses that she had been serving all these years to support her clan. Pitting them against one another, the Daedra convinced them that each house was using her to steal their secrets for the other and that some filthy tribal Ashlander was beneath them, that she should be made an example of.
This was how Caeseji came to die the first time.
After having being hired by House Redoran to clear out one of their mines of the creatures that had overrun, she found herself being ambushed by their own soldiers whom managed to beat down the once prideful warrior and strung her up outside the mines on a stake as an example to never betray the great houses. Soon from death, Caeseji’s blood flowed down from the stake to the ground below, attracting the attention of one of the followers of the Blood Matron herself.
Faced with a choice, to live for the scant few moments left to her or to become a creature of the night. Vengeance burned like fire through the veins of the Dunmer woman that immediately accepted this offer and she was taken to Coldharbour by her new benefactor whereupon Lamae Bol posed her a new purpose in life. To take revenge upon those that had been behind her enduring pain, the Daedra that served Lamae’s own tormentor Molag Bal and crush the lord himself to satisfy Lamae’s own quest for retribution.
Caeseji of course, agreed to these terms with her time drawing near, Lamae replaced her blood with that of her own. That black blood flowing into her veins, filling her with a new feeling, a cold desire for the blood of others and a hunger that filled her senses. She would become a descendant of the first Daughter of Coldharbour, a ravenous and bloodthirsty creature filled with unnatural strength and power. Thus it came to be that the Daedra had a new enemy that would hunt their fettered souls to the ends of Tamriel and Oblivion itself, Caeseji Arkenrae would endure into the second age to witness the Soulburst and take the chance for her lady and for her own burning hatred to attack Coldharbour and happens upon the escaping Soul Shriven, namely a Nord woman named Avali Sunstrike.
Little did she know, that Avali would come to dictate her path, inexorably drawn to the blonde woman that Molag Bal and Mannimarco had defiled and her own vengeance burning to ash as she wished for nothing more than justice for this mysterious woman.
