Karsaga never knew his family. He doesn't know where he was born, nor does he know his birthday or definitive age. He just knows he's in his mid-to-late twenties, that he was born in late fall/early winter (guessed because of his star sign, which he knows because of the odd powers it grants him), and that--growing up--they used to call him Karsaga.
He doesn't know what that means, but hey whatever. It's a name.
Karsaga is a battlemage, and at one time was a smuggler and highwayman who made his living robbing travelers and peddling illegal goods on the black market. He's now the Archmagister of the political house Telvanni in Morrowind, a very "conservative" organization of wizards and mages who basically live by the motto, "Do what you want, just don't bother me."
Because of the way they're organized, despite being their leader, Karsaga really doesn't have to do anything. He just wears the title, signs the papers, and wanders around Morrowind with his bodyguard to various taverns, getting drunk off his ass. Or, you know, going to dangerous places for no reason aside from morbid curiosity and the desire for the prize at the end of the maze.
After all, monsters aren't summoned to guard nothing, right?
He's highly intelligent, but often intoxicated, and he's also loud, disputatious, and has questionable morals. He'll never say no to a person in need, but he'll also never say no to stealing that shiny, expensive thing he can sell for profit sitting on their shelf. He'll escort lost travelers to civilization, but he may also not help them defend themselves en route because they grate his nerves. Sure, he'll help you find a lost heirloom in your family tomb, but he may lie to you about finding it if he decides he likes it.
That being said, he's strangely charismatic; people often like him for no reason, despite his less-than-pleasant flaws. It's possibly due to how optimistic he is, how humble he is for a person of such high rank, or the fact that he's just very entertaining to listen to after he's downed a bottle of brandy.

My computer is shit and runs it. Barely. Hahahaha, it used to work better but Dante is dying. Now I have to turn off all the sound for it to go just fast enough to work, and even then it kind of freezes. I miss the days where it worked properly. :C
It's on the Xbox as well. Can't mod it, but vanilla Morrowind is awesome (I mostly just mod the graphics anyway, hahaha).

My regular computer died a few months ago. XD Saving up to get a new one. But the one I have right now can't run some 2D games without lagging/nearly freezing. x_x
D= Is it just that yours is old, though? And no sound at all? x_x Ouch.
I don't think we even have an Xbox. XD I'd consider getting one, but I'd have no idea what to get on it other than, like, two or three games. xP

FUCK THOSE DREMORA AAAAAAAAAA.
It's like, "Oh, hey look. Free stuff! A ruby, I'll just pick this up and OH FUCKING SHIT NO IT IS BEATING ME INTO A COMA."
After I caught onto what triggered it, it became this conscious effort not to pick up things sitting at a shrine. Though I would often forget not to, because the allure of THE SHINY was too much.
Which usually ended with me saying, "Oh, hey look. An emerald, awesome OH GODAMMIT I FORGOT ABOUT YOU. >:|"

oh god I KNOW. And yet I can't stop myself from picking EVERYTHING UP.
So I settle for picking something up and looking around to see if there's a big bad bastard trying to stab me, and repeating until I find the right thing.
Also, I just remembered. One time when I played with a redguard, and all the bladed weapons I got at the beginning of the game he was best at thrusting. My redguard was a thrust-master.

FIND A WAY AND DO IIIIT. It's really cheap nowadays, even with the expansions. :P
And, in Karsaga's defense, he's not drunk ALL the time. He just tends to barhop in different cities after a day of ADVENTURIN'. When he's at his tower, or when he's doing something important, he tends to stay sobered up. But, most people don't SEE him like that because the general public isn't following him around in his home or in various, dangerous dungeons and ruins.
Or I would hope not.
In any case, Telvanni... wouldn't care either way. High ranking Telvanni members are notorious for not really doing anything; they hire people called Mouths to do all the debating, meeting, and work for them. So, should Karsaga even be drunk and sign a form, his Mouth would have to turn it in for him.
And his Mouth is pretty good about proof-reading, just in case, so Karsaga doesn't accidentally declare war with another organization or sanction an unnecessary assassination. He also has Dasrazel who, uh, has gotten REALLY good at forging Karsaga's name.
Or hiding contracts that would be a reaaaaally bad idea to let Karsaga see.
