Brynjolf (Skyrim)

Brynjolf is a Nord thief and a member of the Thieves Guild in Riften. Brynjolf appears to be the right-hand man of Mercer Frey, the current Guild leader.

Interactions
Brynjolf is first encountered upon entering the tavern in Riften. He approaches the Dragonborn and offers to let him in to a job he's working on. He tells the Dragonborn to find him in the Riften market between 8 am and 8 pm the next day, thus starting the quest A Chance Arrangement.

The Dragonborn finds Brynjolf manning a stall in the market. He tells the Dragonborn that he will create a diversion and, while everyone is distracted, the Dragonborn must break into the stall belonging to Madesi and steal his ring. Then, the Dragonborn must sneak out and reverse-pickpocket the ring into Brand-Shei.

After Brand-Shei is arrested, Brynjolf will happily say that he found the right person for the job. He then directs the Dragonborn to The Ratways, an underground tunnel system underneath Riften, explaining that there is a tavern, called The Ragged Flagon, and if the Dragonborn can get to it, then he can join his organization.

Upon reaching The Ragged Flagon, Brynjolf will be impressed. He will then introduce the Dragonborn to Mercer Frey, and induct him into the Thieves Guild.

Brynjolf also helps the Dragonborn by providing information and advice for future jobs.

Bugs
