Valindor is a Bosmer living in the Fourth Era. Being born and raised in Valenwood, as a child he played in the towering trees, living among his brethren.[1] He later apprenticed in the holy city Silvenar under a master armorer.[1] He evidently was a great student as his master urged him to take over his business on his deathbed but Valindor instead chose to leave Valenwood and wander Tamriel.[1]
He would eventually settle in the Skyrim city of Riften, where he would take employment at the city's fishery and meadery. Valindor lived a humble life and was a pleasant member of the community, staying busy between his two jobs, giving to those in need, and encouraging addicts to become sober.[1] Valindor however, occasionally expressed regrets over the simple life and routine he had become accustomed to and wondered if he should move on,[1] little did he know a massive shakeup to his life was coming.
Valindor turned out to be a blood descendant of Lord Harkon, the Vampire Lord ruler of Volkihar.[2] Only the descendants of Harkon could be conferred his blood to become a Vampire, and only under a certain alignment of the stars.[2] The Volkihar identified Valindor as one of these such descendants along with the right aligning of the stars.[2] The clan sent an individual to Riften to turn Valindor as they wished to have an informant in his area of the province.[2] After receiving the unholy blood, Valindor was grateful for his transformation and considered it a gift.[1]
