Vilkas

Vilkas is a Nord resident of Whiterun, Skyrim. He is a member of The Companions and is also a member of The Circle, the secret order within The Companions. He serves as the player's shield-brother in several of The Companions quests. As with all Companions, he is usually found within Jorrvaskr, located within the Wind District of Whiterun.

After The Companions questline is completed, the player can go to Vilkas to ask for more work. He will eventually give the quest Purity. He is also eligible for marriage after completion of The Companions questline.

Quests

 * Take Up Arms: Prove oneself worthy to join the Companions.
 * Purity of Revenge: Retrieve the Fragments of Wuuthrad and wipe out the Silver Hand.
 * Glory of the Dead: Cure Kodlak's spirit and prove the Dragonborn to be a true Companion.
 * Purity: Help a member of The Circle give up their beast blood.
 * Escaped Criminal: Track down and kill an escaped prisoner.

Personality

 * Vilkas is said to have the smarts of Ysgramor, while his brother, Farkas, has his strength.
 * At first, Vilkas seems to think the Dragonborn isn't worthy of being a Companion but, he warms up to the idea after completion of Glory of the Dead.
 * Farkas generally listens to Vilkas' advice. For example, he mentions that Kodlak has Vilkas and his own support in cleansing the Companions of the beast blood.
 * After Purity of Revenge, Vilkas seems guilty for having wiped out the Silver Hand. He thinks he was fueled with rage and regrets it deeply.
