Athis

Athis é um guerreiro Dunmer e um membro dos Companheiros que vive em Jorrvaskr, na cidade de Whiterun.

When you enter Jorrvaskr for the first time, you will find Athis engaged in a brawl with Njada Stonearm, a fight that he always loses. He's adept in one-handed combat and will offer expert-level training in it up to level 75, if you are a member of the Companions. He keeps quiet most of the time, but will not tolerate repeating himself. He is civil and loyal, but never at the forefront of any battles.

Once the Companions questline is completed, Athis can become a follower, a new member of the Blades, and a candidate for marriage.

If you ask Athis who is in charge, he'll reply, *"Soon enough, it'll be me. In the meanwhile, the Circle handles our daily routine, and Kodlak advises them as Harbinger."* If you ask why he joined the Companions, he'll answer, *"Fortune and glory, friend. Fortune and glory."* Asking him who the Companions are will result in Athis responding, *"Why would you even come to Jorrvaskr without knowing what we stand for? This is not play-acting, here. We are the true spirit of Skyrim. Honor is in our blood, death in our hearts. If you seek either, you've found the right place."* If you walk past or start a conversation with him as a Dunmer, he'll say, *"We are all Ashlanders now, brother/sister. Good to find another family that cares where they came from, eh?"* After you join the Companions, you can ask him what it means to be one of them. The first time you ask, Athis will say *"It means signing on for the Nord ideas of how to live your life. Honor, battle, glory, all that. "Even an elf can be born with the heart of a Nord," Skjor said when I joined. I think he meant it as a compliment."* Thereafter, when asked the same question, he will say *"To me, it means not having to answer foolish questions a second time."*

**Athis** is a Dunmer warrior and a member of The Companions. He resides in The Companions' mead hall, Jorrvaskr, in Whiterun. He is an Expert-level trainer in One-handed combat, and is also the only Dunmer among the current ranks of the Companions.

Upon completion of the Companions' main plotline, Athis can be recruited as a follower and becomes a potential marriage candidate. He can be recruited into the Blades if the Dragonborn talks to Delphine while having him as a follower.

## História

Athis originally came from Morrowind, mentioning that he had to "crawl out" of the province. After an unknown amount of time, he joined the Companions, though he originally didn't think that they'd accept him, likely due to the fact that he is an elf.

## Personalidade

Athis tends to keep quiet most of the time, and dislikes answering questions more than once. He is civil and loyal, but never at the forefront of any battles.[1] He shows an apprehension of being near the Skyrim-Morrowind border.

## Intinerário

Athis wakes at 6am and heads to the main hall to eat breakfast and wander around until 7am. He then heads outside to the training area where he'll socialize, drink, and watch people until noon, then goes downstairs to the Living Quarters to eat lunch. Around 1pm, he'll take to wandering around the main hall again. At 4pm, he'll go back down into the Living Quarters and walk around until 8pm before going to bed.

## Conversas

### Blades vs. Hammers

**Athis:** "What kind of weapon do you prefer? I like the smaller, quicker blades."
**Torvar:** "Yes. You're quite fond of saying that. You know I like hammers and axes."
**Athis:** "Aren't they slow? I can get in and out before you can have one swing."
**Torvar:** "Let's test that out sometime."

### New Weapon

**Athis:** "You might do well to learn a new weapon. Vary your style a bit."
**Farkas:** "Tiny blades don't hurt enough. A sword needs weight."
**Athis:** "But ten little cuts..."
**Farkas:** "All I need is one to cut you in half."
**Athis:** "Well, when you put it that way..."

### Little Swords

**Farkas:** "You only use the little swords."
**Athis:** "It's called a shortsword, you oaf. Its quicker. Sharper. And it can cut through a whale like a razor."
**Farkas:** "But whales eat razorfish."
**Athis:** "And they always come to regret it."

### The Circle

**Torvar:** "One day, when you and I are on the Circle, we can change the way things are run around here."
**Athis:** "I don't think that's how the Circle works."
**Torvar:** "They're lording it over us all the time, though."
**Athis:** "Young warriors are smart to listen to older ones. They've lived."

## Curiosidades

* When first encountered in Jorrvaskr, Athis will be in a conflict with Njada Stonearm that escalates into a brawl that Athis will inevitably lose.
* During "Blood's Honor," he gets injured when Jorrvaskr is attacked by the Silver Hand, though he is healed by the time Kodlak Whitemane's funeral begins.
* Athis is one of many characters who leaves a letter of inheritance upon death.
* When asked why he joined the Companions, he will reply *"Fortune and glory, friend, fortune and glory."* This may be a reference to the *Indiana Jones* saga, as that was often said in the films.
* Being Dunmer, Athis shares some of his combat dialogue with all other Dunmer in Skyrim, and will thus say such lines as "*Nerevar guide me!"*and *"Azura curse you!"*
* Although his default gear is governed by the Light Armor skill, Athis is actually more proficient in Heavy Armor.
* His default boots are actually "clothing" type boots, meaning that they provide no armor whatsoever.
* When first entering Jorrvaskr, Athis starts a fist fight with Njada. If listening closely over the din of the battle, Skjor can be heard remarking, "Are these two at it again?", indicating that Athis has been in brawls with Njada in the past.
* When spoken to before completing the Companions' main questline, Athis says that he will become the next Harbinger. However, he is not a member of the Circle, where the future Harbingers are selected from, so he may be referring to that as an elf, he would live longer than his human comrades to become a future Harbinger, much like another Elf had been, as is mentioned in *Great Harbingers*.
* Athis is the only male Dunmer follower who is also a marriage candidate.
* Under normal circumstances, Athis will almost never use any other melee weapon than the Skyforge Steel Sword he carries, including Glass Swords and Ebony Swords, though this can be gotten around by using Disarm when he has his weapon drawn, or he may be disarmed by Draugr Deathlords and Death Overlords, where afterwards he will use any melee weapon put in his inventory.
