So, while there is no definite date on when he was around, we do know that he came back to tamriel somewhen after the battle at red mountain, spent a long time trying to find his people, then came back to red mountain, got infected with corprus and taken in by Divayth Fyr..."I was in an Outer Realm at the time, and when I came back, my people were gone. I left Red Mountain, wandering Tamriel for years, searching our deserted colonies, looking for a survivor or an explanation. Then, a long, long time ago, I returned to Red Mountain, still looking for answers. Instead, I found corprus disease, and I have been here ever since."
