Daerus was born to Knights of the Nine, and was basically born into the Order. His childhood consisted of helping other Knights, basically a squire, and training himself. Of course there were other kids around, but Daerus was more interested in watching the Knights practice, watching their techniques.

Eventually, Daerus begun training to be a warrior. He showed quite a bit of promise. Daerus was naturally talented with a sword, and moved well in armor. One of the things that made him stand out, was that he would use his body to fight. While other simply used the sword, Daerus would throw in a punch, knee or a kick. It may not have been the cleanest fighting style, but it won, most of the time.

Daerus was knighted after many long years of training, at 16. He was intelligent, a devout follower of the Eight and One, and a brilliant swordsman. Only a few years after his knighting, at age 20, the Great War broke out, and Daerus began fighting the Thalmor. He fought on many fronts, and hundreds of Thalmor over 4 years. Daerus, after the Knights broke down, left, went as far as he could. He went to Skyrim.

One of the first things he did, was buy a new tabard, so that he would not be recognized as a Knight of the Nine. He then began drifting from city to city, town to town, wherever he could get a job. Most of them were guarding something or someone. Daerus still wanted his skills to be sharp, and his blade, sharper. He contemplated joining the Vigilants of Stendarr, but decided against it, they only worshipped the Eight, and not the One.

Daerus was quite vocal in his support for Talos, and joined with the Stormcloak Rebellion when it started. Ulfric was preaching the One, but Daerus did not believe that Ulfric did not desire the throne. Who was Lord or King did not matter to Daerus, he served the Nine. Daerus was lucky enough to survive the Rebellion, when the Imperials crushed them. He kept wandering. His next destination was Whiterun, where he joined with the Companions. The companions were not the primary reason for Whiterun. There was a preacher there, who spoke of Talos. Daerus enjoyed listening to his sermons, and prayed to the Nine there.

The Companions, he shortly left. They were not the prestigious order that he thought they were. They were basically a mercenary group. And so, Daerus began wandering again.
