Marcurio

Marcurio is a male Imperial that lives in Riften. He can be found in the Bee and Barb and can be hired as a companion for 500 septim. Though he claims to be a master mage, when you access his inventory he exclaims he is "an apprentice wizard, not a pack mule!".

Due to his numerous lines when you are in Dwemer ruins, it appears he's very interested in their culture and technology, though he admits he would like them more were they not constantly trying to kill him. When in Nordic ruins, he will occasionally make remarks of his knowledge for his studies on Nordic History.

You can also marry Marcurio, if you are wearing the Amulet of Mara. However, you have to first hire him as a follower.

He is a great follower using mainly destruction spells and can kill most things with ease. However, beware having him near friendly NPC's because he mainly uses chainlighting and this has been known to jump to them and cause a fight/bounty.

When married, he will set-up a shop that earns you a profit of 100 septim per day, if it is not collected it will pile up. You can collect the gold by selecting the option 'Has the Store made any money?'. Hiring him and then killing him is also a great way to get Adept Robes early on for only 500 septim.
