A stealthy vampire mage who toys with enemies using illusions, paralysis, and summoned minions before finishing them with a well-aimed life drain or fire spell.

I would join the College of Winterhold, the Thieves Guild, and the Dark Brotherhood early to help level your skills and acquire gear.

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.

Manipulative, prefers not being seen, knows necromancy, doesn’t know how to make friends. Not to be trusted.
