Roggi Knot-Beard

Roggi Knot-beard is a male Nord NPC that can be married. He is found in Kynesgrove, which is just south of Windhelm, in the Braidwood Inn or Steamscorch Mine during the daytime or sometimes sleeping outside the Inn during the nighttime.

Roggi owes Iddra quite some coin for his mead-swilling ways at the inn; talking to both about this debt has several resolutions.

Additionally, he will give you a miscellaneous quest to find his ancestral shield. Once you find the shield he will offer to follow you. As well you might get the option to marry him instantly if the amulet or Mara is worn.

As a follower, his stats and level cap are identical to Sven.

Quests

 * Find Roggi's Ancestral Shield: do a favor by retrieving an item from a cave (miscellaneous quest): Roggi tells the player that an Ancestor of his lost the family shield in a cave, and that if the player returns it to him, he'll pass on a fighting technique (actually increases the player's Block one level). After the shield is returned to him, it can either be pickpocketed back or (if recruited as a Follower) taken from him freely.

Reward

 * Roggi teaches you a one-point Block skill increase.

A Blade in the Dark
If Roggi is your follower when you begin this quest, he will temporarily disappear. This is likely because when the dragon attacks Kynesgrove all of the inhabitants flee.

He returns to you shortly after you defeat the dragon.
