Vrogash always dreamed of being a heroic knight like in the Breton stories, but when he played with other kids, they said he could either be the bad guy or the blacksmith. Eventually he just decided to be the blacksmith.
We decided that as of the events of the start of the game, Vrogash has almost entirely lost his memory (being sacrificed in a ritual and killed and transported to Oblivion will do that to ya.)
One of the first things that happens in the #ESO tutorial is that in the midst of a rebellion against the evil Molag Bal an NPC yells at you to grab a weapon and join the fight. We imagined Vrogash's conflicted feelings - wanting to help so badly but having this vague inchoate feeling that it was Not Okay for him to resort to violence. But he can't remember why, so he takes the plunge.
Vrogash finally gets to be the heroic knight he always wanted to be. T.T
