Farkas

"Skjor says I have the strength of Ysgramor, and my brother has his smarts."

- Farkas

A lycanthropic Nord mercenary in Whiterun, Farkas is one of the most feared and respected members of the Companions. One of the more open members of The Circle, Farkas was open to the joining of the Dragonborn, and quickly proved a valuable ally. Farkas would become the Dragonborn's shield-brother, as well as training the Dragonborn in the use of heavy armor. In turn, the Dragonborn worked as an ally in a variety of jobs Farkas had, from brawling with strangers to prove Farkas' superiority or retrieving the lost fragment of Wuuthrad. In the latter quest, Farkas reveals his lycanthropy by fighting off Silver Hand thugs as a werewolf.

Eventually, Farkas reveals his wish to cure his lycanthropy, and can be assisted by the Dragonborn. The Dragonborn helps with this, journeying with Farkas to Ysgamor's tomb to kill Farkas' beast spirit and cleanse him of his curse. Once this is done, Farkas aids the Dragonborn one final time by showing them the location of a dragon to kill in one of the Word Walls.

Provided all quests for the Companions are completed, Farkas will show an interest of becoming the spouse of the Dragonborn. Once the Dragonborn locates an Amulet of Mara, Farkas is more than willing to become the husband of the Dragonborn. Alongside his brother Vilkas, Farkas became one of the most crucial and important allies to the Dragonborn, as well as one of the closest.
