==Summary==
The Dovahkiin, also known as The Last Dragonborn, is the main protagonist and player character of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. They are a legendary Hero whose coming was long foretold by the Elder Scrolls, and said to coincide with the return of Alduin, as the only one who will be able to challenge and stop the World-Eater. Though the passing of millennia made the prophecy all but forgotten, it was nonetheless true, and the one who would become the Dovahkiin began their journey as a Prisoner captured by soldiers of the Imperial Legion. They were then taken to the city of Helgen, where they would be sentenced alongside other captured criminals and rebels. However, just as they were to be executed, their lives were ironically spared when Alduin descended from the skies, burning the city to the ground in demonstration of his power.
The Prisoner was among the few who narrowly escaped Helgen's destruction, and though at the time they knew nothing of their destiny, they quickly discovered their true nature during a battle with one of the many dragons resurrected by Alduin. Against all odds, they not only managed to slay the beast, but they also absorbed its soul afterward, gaining their strength and with it the ability to use the Thu'um, the Power of the Voice. This event made the Prisoner learn that they were a Dragonborn, the first to arise in many centuries, and it wasn't long before the Greybeards announced their coming to the world, asking them to meet in High Hrothgar at the peak of the Throat of the World.
There, the Dovahkiin learned of their purpose, and began their training in the Way of the Voice with the Greybeards and their master, the dragon Paarthurnax, who had rebelled against Alduin's tyranny millennia before. Though the Dovahkiin grew mighty and quickly surpassed their teachers, they learned they could only defeat Alduin with the Dragonrend Thu'um, a shout that could strip Alduin of his immortal and atemporal nature, and that neither the Greybeards nor Paarthurnax knew. Throughout their journey to gain power, battle Alduin's dragons, and learn the Dragonrend, the Dovahkiin became greatly involved with the Civil War between the Cyrodilic Imperials and the Stormcloak Rebels that tore Skyrim apart, and would ultimately be deciding factor in their conclusion.
Eventually, the Dovahkiin would learn the Dragonrend Shout through an Elder Scrolls, allowing them to witness the Thu'um be used against Alduin himself in the Merethic Era. Armed with their new knowledge and power, the Dovahkiin faced the World-Eater in one final battle. First, they fought atop the Throat of the World, and then later in the Realm of Sovngarde after Alduin fled to gain strength by gorging on the souls of the dead. Together with the aid from the spirits of the very ancient heroes who first defeated Alduin eons before, the Dovahkiin was able to slay the World-Eater completely and utterly, saving Nirn from destruction and breaking the Kalpic Cycle in the process.

Explanation about Dragonrend
Dragons in Elder Scrolls are tiny shards of the Dragon God of Time, Aka Himself. They were never truly born, they just are, and always were, as immutable and immortal beings. They predate the creation of Mundus itself.
They aren't even physical beings either, they have been notably described as "Biological Time Machines powered by ideologies" by authors Michael Kirkbride and Kurt Kuhlmann, and are indeed aspects of the Embodiment of Time itself.
As such, dragons are immortal. Even if their flesh is killed on Nirn they will never fully die, they remain, they linger, as they were and always are.
Dragonrend changes that. It forcibly strips a dragon of their timeless, immortal nature, and makes them experience mortality. The Dragonrend Shout is actually called "JOOR ZAH FRUL" in Dovahzuul, the Dragon Tongue, and it means "Mortal Finite Temporary", exactly the opposite of what dragons are.
Dragonrend made it possible for The Dovahkiin killing Alduin forever despite being a major aspect of the Time Dragon, and literally the End of Time.
*Drain Vitality: The Dovahkiin coaxes both magical and mortal energies from their hapless opponent.
*Elemental Fury: The Thu'um imbues the Dovahkiin's arms with the speed of wind, allowing for faster weapon strikes.
*Fire Breath: Inhale air, exhale flame, and behold the Thu'um as inferno.
*Frost Breath: The Dovahkiin's breath is long winter, their Thu'um a blizzard.
*Ice Form: The Dovahkiin's Thu'um freezes an opponent solid.
*Kyne's Peace: The Dovahkiin's Voice soothes wild beasts, who lose their desire to fight or flee.
*Marked for Death: The Dovahkiin Speaks, and lets their Voice herald doom, as an opponent's armor and lifeforce are weakened.
*Slow Time: The Dovahkiin Shouts at time, and commands it to obey, as the world around them stands still.
*Soul Tear: The Dovahkiin's Thu'um cuts through flesh and shatters soul, commanding the will of the fallen.
*Storm Call: A Shout to the skies, a cry to the clouds, that awakens the destructive force of Skyrim's lightning.
*Summon Durnehviir: The Dovahkiin summons Durnehviir from Soul Cairn to aid them in battle.
*Throw Voice: The Dovahkiin's Thu'um is heard, but its source unknown, fooling those into seeking it out.
*Unrelenting Force: The Dovahkiin's Voice is raw power, pushing aside anything - or anyone - who stands in their path.
*Whirlwind Sprint: The Thu'um rushes forward, carrying the Dovahkiin in its wake with the speed of a tempest.
