Alduin

"And the Scrolls have foretold of black wings in the cold, That when brothers wage war come unfurled! Alduin, Bane of Kings, ancient shadow unbound, With a hunger to swallow the world!"
– Song of the Dragonborn

Alduin is very arrogant, a trait he attempts to counter by accusing his opponents of. Once his goal is revealed in the storyline, it is revealed that he is also misanthropic, believing that Dragons (or Dovah) are superior species against men. As stated by Odahviing, Alduin's former right-hand, many of the Dovah have begun to question Alduin's lordship because of his arrogance and his defeat atop the Throat of the World by the Dragonborn and Paarthurnax.

During the early Merethic Era, the ancient Atmoran people worshiped numerous animal totems which would become the Nordic pantheon—the hawk, wolf, snake, moth, owl, whale, bear, fox and the dragon—as the avatars of the gods. The Dragon was considered the most important out of all the animals. Therefore, at the dragons' approval, the people of Atmora and later Skyrim came to deify the dragons, worshipping them as god-kings, through this establishing the Dragon Cult as the dominant belief system of ancient Nordic culture.

Throughout the Merethic Era, Alduin stood as the leader of the dragons and the Dragon Cult, which ruled over Atmora and later over Skyrim. Terms between dragons and men were peaceful in Atmora, thanks to the benevolent rule of the Dragon Priests. However, when the Dragon Cult arrived on Tamriel, the Dragon Priests became cruel towards the populace, and men were increasingly subjugated. Their attempts of resistance against the Dragon Priests led to brutal retaliations by the dragons, which eventually brought about the beginning of the Dragon War.

Alduin's chief lieutenant during this period was Paarthurnax, his younger sibling, who was said to have committed unspeakable atrocities against mankind. However, Paarthurnax and a few other dragons turned against Alduin, possibly at the behest of the goddess Kyne, and taught humans how to use the Thu'um; granting the most courageous among them the chance to rebel against their dragon overlords. The ensuing conflict between the dragons and the ancient Tongues became the legendary Dragon War. At its height, Alduin was led to the Throat of the World where he battled three Nordic heroes, Felldir the Old, Hakon One-Eye and Gormlaith Golden-Hilt, the first Tongues and leaders of the rebellion against Alduin. They created a unique Shout known as Dragonrend through which they managed to cripple Alduin, and then used an Elder Scroll to send him forward in time.
