Adoring Fan (Oblivion)

"Wow! You're the Grand Champion! I saw your fight against the Gray Prince! You're the best! Can I... Can I follow you around? I won't get in the way!"

- Adoring Fan

The  is one part of the "reward" for becoming Grand Champion in the Arena. He is a young and cheerful Wood Elf that will obey any command his Hero gives.

Uses
As a follower, the fan has limited uses. He refuses to fight in combat and will instead run and try to hide until it's over. This can prove fatal as he may run into more enemies and still be killed. He is also a severe annoyance, to the point where it has become a sport to find as many ways as possible to kill the Adoring fan.

When he is not following the Hero (or when he is waiting for them to return) he can be found at the Arena waiting to rejoin the Grand Champion.

The Adoring Fan also respawns after some time but only if he is killed.

Quotes

 * "Here? Right here? What about, say... over there? No? Right here? All right then, you're the Grand Champion! Whatever you say!"
 * "By Azura, by Azura, by Azura, it's the Grand Champion! I can't believe it's you! Standing here, next to me!"
 * "Aw gee! You sure? Okay, well, I'll be hanging around the Arena grounds if you need someone to worship the ground you walk on. Bye!"

Trivia

 * In, during the Dark Brotherhood questline in Skyrim, the Dragonborn will come across a book entitled "Cicero's Journal Vol. 1", which belongs to the assassin Cicero. In this journal is a detailed report of an assassination contract where Cicero disguised himself as an Arena fan in the Imperial City, in an attempt to accompany, and then assassinate, the Grand Champion while escorting him through the forest. This is a reference to the Adoring Fan.
 * The Adoring Fan will always take the shortest way back to the Arena if told to go away, even if this involves jumping off cliffs and mountains. However, he'll always survive the fall.
