I TALKED TO JIUB! (for those who don't know Jiub is the first character you see in The Elder Scrolls 3 Morrowind, Jiub's early life was a dark experience, and a time that he himself deeply regrets. Killing was always high in demand in his homeland of Morrowind, and so he worked as a low-grade killer for hire to support his Skooma addiction. It was a decision that led to his eventual capture and imprisonment. After his release in 3E 427, he was transported by ship alongside the Nerevarine from the Imperial City to Vvardenfell, Morrowind. It was during this time that he decided to turn his life around to seek redemption for his crimes. He felt obligated to give something back to the people of Morrowind, so he decided to undertake a crusade against the Cliff Racers who plagued his homeland. Jiub later moved to the city of Kvatch in Cyrodiil to focus on the writing of his autobiography. It was during this time when the Oblivion Crisis occurred in 3E 433 and Kvatch was invaded by Mehrunes Dagon. Jiub, who was writing in his home at the time, was soul trapped by a Dremora and was sent to the Soul Cairn to wander for eternity. Many people assumed that Jiub had perished in Morrowind during the crisis, while Jiub thought that he was just imprisoned by the Daedra.

And for the best part:
In 4E 201, the Last Dragonborn encountered Jiub while in the Soul Cairn. The Dragonborn made Jiub realize that he was dead, and so was tasked with finding the lost pages of his opus so that it may be returned to Tamriel. After obtaining the lost pages, Jiub gave the Dragonborn a full copy of his memoir, so that others in Tamriel may know his story.
