Skjor

"'Ask any fool around here, and get a different answer. Mercenaries. Warriors of honor. Brothers and sisters of the blade. Drunken rabble. Take your pick. I've been here longer than most of them. Even I don't know sometimes. I just hope they don't kill each other.' ""~Skjor, 4E 201"Skjor was a Nordic member of the Companions and one of The Circle as well as a Werewolf. Skjor was one of the highest-ranked members of The Circle, quite possibly next to Kodlak Whitemane.

He serves as a close friend and mentor to the Dragonborn during the beginning of TES V: Skyrim.

Background
Before becoming a Companion, he fought in the Great War against the Third Aldmeri Dominion before becoming critically injured in the fighting. After he recovered from his injuries, he became a sellsword for hire across Skyrim, and eventually joined the Companions.

Events of TES V: Skyrim
After Jon Battle-Born directs the Dragonborn to the companions, Titus meets Skjor. Skjor directs him to Kodlak Whitemane. Skjor handed out most of the early missions.

During the Dragonborn's induction into the Companions, Skjor sends him to Dustman's Cairn with Farkas to recover a fragment of Wuuthrad. Skjor and the Dragonborn grew very close together, eventually forming a strong bond.

Mentorship to the Dragonborn
Skjor acted as a mentor to the Dragonborn, and had high hopes for him as a member of the Companions. He later vouches for the Dragonborn to join The Circle.

Shortly after the Dragonborn's initiation into the Circle, Skjor helped him become a werewolf as well. the Dragonborn went on a rampage, and woke up near a fortress with Aela.

Death
During the Dragonborn's rampage, Skjor had been captured. Aela and the Dragonborn storm into the fort to rescue Skjor.

After making their way to the center of the fort and killing Krev, the duo find Skjor dead, with a sword through the chest. the Dragonborn was devastated by his loss, and the two worked to avenge him.
