A history of lost power
Maelon (literally meaning Lust) later known as Aradhelon (translating into royal terror), was one of the Aedra a Ehlnofey who played a lessor part in molding the world. At first, he was one of the Aedra who was angry at the creation of the world and the lost of most of his divine grace, but later he started to admire the creation and joined Lorkhan: even forming a minor infatuation for him. (Although he was someone who fell for people with great power). He became one of Lorkhan’s most dangerous generals, which earned him the name Aradhelon, in mockery of his original name. When Lorkhan was defeated, Aradhelon considered repenting for his actions and crimes, but when he noticed his master’s brutal punishment: he fled and seemingly disappeared from the world. He didn’t resurface until the destruction of Aldmeris, in which it was rumored that he played some part in its disappearances: although this unconfirmed. Later Aradhelon discovered what would be known as Morrowind, and there on the base of red mountain: created his first fortress of Thaw-Guldur. There he used a illusion to diguise himself as one of the first Aldmeri explorers, and his fortress on of the first wizard towers. Maelon found the elves to be imperfect, and in need of a mighty hand to guide them, and he started to plot against them. He started to dabble in the dark arts and ended up created Falmer like creatures from elves who decided to inhabit his near his fortress, he would then have corrupted some other Ehlnofey and transformed them into monstrous creatures. In the following years Maelon waged war with the Chimer (now Dunmer), for control over the lands of Morrowind.
At the same time Maelon attempted to gain control over Skyrim and in his lust for power made a deal with Molag Bal. In exchange for the knowledge on how to dominate the minds of others, Maelon slept with the Daedric Prince. Using the knowledge that was gifted to him, Maelon managed to corrupt the dragon priest mask, and then made a One-Ring to control the Dragon Priest. When he placed the ring on and attempted to ressurect the power of the Dragon Priest, Maelon found that he could not, and that even after Alduin was banished he still controlled the Priest. Despite this small problem Maelon was still able to influences the minds of others, and later he created a series of different magical ring to extend his will. He gave seven of thoses rings to the Dwemer in Morrwind, and two rings to Kings of Skyrim. It seemed that the rings did work on the Dwemer, and he was able to influences various conflicts with the Chimer. While in Skyrim he managed to use his influences on those two kings, and forced them to let him create two fortresses in Skyrim. However, before he could expand his power and dominate the minds of the ring bearers, the Chimers caught wiff of his plan. Which Aradhelon theroized that it was one of the Daedra who informed him of his plan, he expected it to be Azura or Boethiah. In a finall attempts to expel the Dark Lord from his fortress the Chimer (now Dunmer) rallied against him, and laid siege to his fortress. For seven years they captured the dangerous halls of Thaw-Gulder, level by level. Until at last Aradhelon was forced to face the threat himself, and it was here that he faced a council of the most powerful Dunmer sorcerers. While he was battling the sorcerers one of them by the name of Inernil Belass, took up his enchanted sword, and servered the finger that held the one ring from Aradhelon's body. 
Since the ring held much of his native power, and the sorcerers have serverely damaged his body. Aradhelon was weaken severely, and his spirit was expeled from the physical realm. He then traveled to the realm of Cold-Harbor, where he once again made a deal with the Daedric Prince of Domination. In exchange that his spirit could stay in his realm for protection, and long enough that he could regain some of his power. Maelon promised that he would please or serve the Daedric Prince, but also, become Molag Bal's harbinger when he gained enough to return to the mortal plane. For about five eras Aradhelon spent his time gathering his strength, learning from Daedric Prince, and if needed he would please him. While he was recovering his power, his one ring was being passed down throughout the ages, corrupting and perverting those who wear it. time someone placed the ring on Aradhelon could feel that person using his power, and in some occausions he could see the person (and they could see him). Eventually he noticed that Alduin the World Eater was being sent into the future, through the powers of the elder scrolls, the process admittedly tore through time and space generating vast amounts of energy in the process. Seeing this as a chance to enter back into Mundus, Maelon wasted no time in gathering this energy, and threw himself into the rift. Ultimately it was a success and Maelon was sent crashing into Skyrim, where he used that energy to craft him a material form: a fair form used to decieve others. The process used up whatever energy he had, and he was still lessened compared to his native power that he once had. Aradhelon knew that he needed to recover his one ring before he could start any of his plans to control Skyrim, and reclaim his former domains.
The Character build
The Basics
It should be noted that this version of Sauron is mostly based off the books, mostly the Silmarillion. As such my interpretation of Sauron is much different than movies, who arguably presents him like his master Morgoth. Now I do recognize that in the third age he does rise like a shadow of Morgoth, and in a way become his master. Keep in mind that this difference would mostly be in appearance and somewhat in the play style. Furthermore, this character will have a evolutionary play style, and it will constantly change with the role play.
Race:Breton or High-Elf (Vampire/Werewolf). I personally went with High-Elf for two reasons, one for the extra magicka, and two for role play reasons. (Since the Ehlnofey were the ancestors of the Elves). However, Breton would also be a good race due to their magicka absorption and the +1 in conjuration. Later you will gain vampirism from Harkon and then use the Ring of Hircine to become a vampire-werewolf hybrid.
Stats: 1/1/0, you will mostly be wanting to focus on both health and magicka. While this character does use a one-handed weapon, it is mostly used to keep those few hostiles away from you. In general, this character is more like a controller, and magic is needed to control and manipulate enemies.
Standing Stones: When you are first starting the game you will want to chose the ritual stone, for at the start you are mostly a necromancer and illusionist. Then at the second part of the game you will take the Atronach. (I used the Atronach absorption ability as an 'ability' of the Ring)
Powers:
Major Skills (W.i.P)
Destructions: Aradhelon being one of the divine spirits, naturally was bound to the natural world. Thus he held a affinity to the element of fire, and he was connected to the planet's fiery core. During his battle with the Dunmer Sorcerers, it was said that he radiated such intense heat that one of he sorcerers burned to death by his mere touch, and another describe his hand as armored yet burning like fire.
Illusion: Aradhelon created his ring of power to directly control and influence the minds of others. Specifically, the rings were made to exert influence and dominances over the dragon priest mask, and the other nine rings of power. Before that, however, Aradhelon was known to possess a dreadful presence, and an indomitable willpower. Few could withstand the being in his presences, and even fewer could withstand avoiding his silver tongue.
Conjuration: Aradhelon is without a doubt one of thee most powerful sorcerer's and necromancers in existences. With some even saying that he founded sorcery, and others saying that he was one of the first to practice the foul art. Whatever the case he is capable of summoning creatures from other dimensions with little to know difficultiy, and raising the dead with realitive ease.
