The Fishing Creation is required for this build, but substitutions can be made if you don't mind missing out of the roleplaying aspect.
Do all thieves guild related quests. Join college of winterhold for access but dont become archmage. Avoid companions, and Dark Brotherhood questlines. Daedric princes to spite: Namira, Vaermina, and Boethiah. Collect other daedric artifacts but choose dialogue that challenges them, not venerate (except Azura). Get Ebony Blade but dont charge it. Explore nordic and dwemer ruins for riches.
Sword in one hand, torch in the other, this scoundrel creeps though tombs searching for forgotten treasures.
