I am basing this build off of the Medjay that actually existed in Egypt, coming into existence around 2700 B.C. in the old kingdom. Medjay (pronouced medj-ai or medj-eye) were expert swordsmen and archers and protected the tombs of Egypt from graverobbers and anyone would try to steal the tombs' treasures. The Medjay also acted as the pharoah's personal bodyguards.
"Being a medjay means protecting all the people of Skyrim. Not just protect them, but work for their well-being as well as protecting the current emperor of Skyrim."
Namamir was born in the year 3e 433 in the province of Hammerfell. He was raised as a normal kid, did normal things like playing with other redguard kids and dreaming of going on grand adventures. He had no idea that fate had greater things in store for him. He was quite oblivious to the fact that he was the last in a long line of protectors of the emperor.
One night whlle his mother was making dinner in the small cottage, the small redguard's father, Rinithik lifted him onto his knee and told him a story about how his father and grandfather were both bodyguards of royalty. His father recited the story from memory.
"Son, I was a Medjay, like your grandfather, Baurus and generations before him, we were tasked with protecting the tombs of Tamrielic emperors, and sometimes even the emperors themselves, from any threats.
He paused, noticing the perplexed look on his son's face, and explained in a way that would be easier for him to understand,
"Threats like graverobbers and thieves, we also acted as the emperor's personal body guards."
Namamir noticed his son had his hand raised, "Yes son? I am sure you have a million questions to ask.".
"Dad, what's a Medjay?"
His father laughed a little, mentioning that he answered that question already, "Do you have other questions before I continue?"
"What Emperor were you a bodyguard for? Has anyone stolen anything under your and grandfather's watch?"
HHis father scratched his head, trying to remember."Well, I was one of twenty bodyguards for Titus Mede I and your grandfather was one of three bodyguards for emperor Pelagius II. As for whether we or our fellow bodyguards let any thief or graverobber in unnoticed, the answer is no, if we didn't kill them, the traps in the tombs did".
His father cleared his throat, "As I was saying, your grandfather and I were Medjay to Attrebus Mede and Uriel Septim IV respectively and we killed anyone who was thought to be in the process of doing some royal graverobbing. We also foiled the plots of thieves and assassins thoughout Hammerfell." Suddenly, Rinithik stopped talking and lowered his head, as if for a moment of silence for a fallen comrade.
"Dad, what is it?" His son asked, worried.
"Son, your grandfather, he died protecting the emperor from the invading Aldmeri Dominion." He struggled to hold back tears, he wanted to appear emotionally strong in front of his son.
Many years later, Namamir, now fully grown, left for Skyrim to become Titus Mede II's Medjay, or personal bodyguard. His father taught him everything about being a Medjay. Everything from being skilled with and using a sword to being equally skilled in using a bow properly.
On the boat from the harbor to Solitude, he could hear his father saying 'remember son, being a Medjay is not just a badge or symbol of office, it is also a responsibilty to both the Emperor and the people of the region. Always be kind, courteous and always help whenever the situation requires it.'
