To move an NPC to you, type the following in the console:
 * Followed by:

"" is the NPCs Base ID, "" is the NPCs Reference ID and "<#>" refers to how many you want.

Base ID
Base ID, or Form ID, is the ID given to NPCs before they are placed in the game.

Finding base IDs in-game
To see the Base ID of an NPC, type in " ". If the NPC has two words in the NPC's name, a quotation must begin and end the line. For example, Hadvar does not need quotations because of his one-word name, however Proventus Avenicci has two words in his name. Hadvar's information can be retrieved using " ". However, Proventus Avenicci, for example, does require quotations, needing the console command " " in order for his information to show up correctly.

This will show a variety of ID's, under the category "other forms". There are several identifications of the type of object or NPC the ID refers to. For example, there is a Thalmor dossier of Ulfric Stormcloak. The line representing its ID starts with "BOOK:" which means this ID is not representing Ulfric Stormcloak himself. Lines starting with "NPC_:" represent an NPC ID. However, there can be multiple lines starting with "NPC_:". These are all Base ID's, however they differ and contain variants of an NPC.

Reference ID
Reference ID is the id code given to NPCs that appear in the game, it is used to disambiguate between multiple copy's of the same base NPC. It allows for multiple copies of the same NPC to be placed throughout the world without having to create individual copy's (Bandit001; Bandit002, ect.)

Finding reference IDs in-game
With the console open click on an NPC and it's reference ID will appear.

Daedric Princes
(As shown by the chart above) Daedric princes, even those you cannot normally see, can be place in tamriel using the "placeatme" command. Some are hostile (namely, Malacath) however, most are nonhostile. While these beings will walk around, use various animations (such as eating bread), and some will participate in fights, they cannot be interacted with to begin, continue, or finish any daedric or non-daedric quest. As of now, Hermaeus Mora (and Jyggalag, which was not included in the above chart, as he makes no appearance in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim) are the only daedric princes confirmed to have no IDs associated with them. Most of the Daedric princes do not appear as the race 'Dremora', and instead appear as various races found in skyrim, such as Nord or Imperial; Molag Bal is the only one confirmed to appear as a dremora (test conducted with a sample size of 100). The daedric princes, when spawned in, except for a few (Malacath, In daedric armor; Nocturnal, in Nocturnal's robes; Sheogorath, in Sheogorath's outfit; etc) will be naked.
