Appearance: Dresden stands an even six ft and has a lithe build. His hair is raven black and kept short. His eyes are a pale green and hold a competitive fire in them. Dresden wears a modest grey cloak but has form fitting light steel armor underneath. HIs twin katanas, a gift from his father, sit in scabbards at his sides, a small quiver for his bolts are in a small pouch on his belt and his crossbow is holstered on is back. On his wrists are twin steel gauntlets with blades of folded blackened steel. His face has sharp features and he has a single ragged scar that runs down the left side of his face from where he had been attacked by a particularly zealous Dwarven Sphere. 

Personality: Dresden is laid back and sociable, making him easily approachable. He has a penchant for solving puzzles and a mind for mechanics that is beyond his age. He has a fascination with Dwarven artifacts and has even figured out how to craft the mechanical weapons the ancient constructs use. Dresden can think on his feet and prefers to go with the flow. As well he is loath to leave anyone behind and is loyal to the contract until it is done. 

Backstory: Dresden grew up in Morthal. His father was a gifted blacksmith while his mother was a hunter. Dresden learned the blacksmith trade from his father and how to use a bow and blade from his mother. When he was sixteen he started off on his own and found himself working with mercenaries out of Windhelm. During a particular exertion into Dwemer ruins Dresden found himself fascinated by the mechanics of the construct weapons. Soon enough he had been able to recreate a crossbow and a pair of gauntlets that hid nine inch blades. From one mercenary in particular he learned of Alchemy. From that art he discovered how create explosive and corrosive potions through trial and error (mostly error). Eventually he went his separate way from the group and found himself in Cyridiil looking for work.
