They travelled around Tamriel with the Princess Ayrenn. Upon her return to the Summerset Isles and her ascension to the Throne of Alinor, they swore their allegiance. Known as the Eyes of the Queen. Handpicked by the Queen you serve the Aldmeri Dominion as spies. They are few and stick to the shadows. Scattered across the Dominion and Tamriel, they will report to the Unforeseen Queen personally. And nobody else.
But the Queen has been dead. For over 2 era’s.
You were born in Skyrim though your family hailed from the Aldmeri Dominion. Unlike many of your kinsmen, you were taught about the evils of the Dominion. You had to keep it quiet. Public display of such knowledge would be very dangerous to you. And even more dangerous to your family, after all, the Justiciars are ruthless and wont hesitate to go after those you love to get to you.
Eventually, after reading a lot of books, you learn about the forming of the Aldmeri Dominion. You learn that Ayrenn intents to stand strong against the troubles facing Tamriel. Together with the neighboring Bosmer and Khajiit they would stand strong.
Years later and many troubles have faced you, Skyrim and Tamriel. After growing tired of it, you decide to take matter in your own hands. You will become a modern Eye of the Queen.

Race: Altmer, Bosmer or Khajiit. Breton could work too, Elise Mallon was a Breton Eye in Summerset. But lets focus on the big three.
Weapons: Daggers, swords. You may choose whatever you want to use.
Armor: Anything simple and black. Shadowed Netch Leather best represents the original look of the Eyes.
Major skills:
Sneak: Gotta be quiet if youre a spy
Light armour: protection. Not relevant if you decide to use black robes

GAMEPLAY
Obviously, you’ll want to approach combat with stealth. Avoiding combat would be even better. You’re a spy and murder is not your first concern. But when the need arises, you will not hesitate to end a life. Following Ayrenn’s beliefs, your primary mission will be to disrupt the Thalmor influence in Skyrim. You’re free to do this in whatever way you want, use that imagination.

All of these are optional, ofcourse. But they are recommended.
