Trivia

 * Athis is one of many characters who leaves a letter of inheritance upon death.
 * Athis wields a Skyforge Steel Sword.
 * Athis sometimes mentions that he tries to stay away from Eastmarch as it is too close to 'the border' meaning the border between Skyrim and the home of the Dunmer, Morrowind.
 * 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.
 * If the player is a Dunmer and starts a conversation with him, he will say "We are all Ashlanders now, brother/sister. Good to find another family that cares where they came from, eh?".
 * Sometimes in combat, he will say "Nerevar Guide me!".

Bugs

 * If he is killed, he may still re-appear alive again in Whiterun.
 * If the Dragonborn used Calm on Njada Stone-Arm during her fight with Athis, Athis will suddenly turn on the Dragonborn. This can be fixed by simply using Calm on him.
 * If encountered as part of a random encounter, he may remain at the scene of the battle and never return to Jorrvaskr.
 * If you attack him at during The Battle for Whiterun he might never move and stay in a battle that is not happening.
