"He sat at the far back of the tavern, wondering if the courier had even delivered his message, or if it had just been lost somewhere along the way. If anyone could get a hold of dragon's blood, it was the marked recipient of that letter. He simply hoped his offer for a reward had been enough to draw the attention of a legendary hero."

This is Tolaan, a Dragoncursed who's been living in obscurity around Solitude ever since he can remember, under the guise of being half Argonian. He was never given a name that he knew of, so when first learning the language of the dragons, he called himself Tolaan, the Dovahzul word for desire. Like the deep and desperate longing he had to be free of his accursed fate

He long studied those Dragoncursed that came before him and their own fates, learning all he could about his curse, and that the Empire both feared and hated his kind for what their ancestors had done.

When he overheard Alduin had returned one fateful day, he knew all the dragons would return with him. He knew he had to act fast, or be doomed to the fate of his kind. Knowing no other way to keep himself from a dragon's thrall, he chose to attempt Ascension, an occult path few dared follow.
