Aerin (Skyrim)

Aerin lives in Aerin's House in Riften and can frequently be found at the Bee and Barb. Aerin saved the life of Mjoll the Lioness, whom he found near death outside a Dwemer ruin. Mjoll says that a Dwemer Centurion bested her in battle, but she was able to crawl out of the ruin before losing consciousness. When she awoke, Aerin was there, and he brought her to his home to nurse her back to health. According to Mjoll, Aerin told her of the problems of his home city, and Mjoll decided to stay in Riften and purge the city of its ills. Since that time, Aerin has followed Mjoll and she continues to reside in his house.

Interactions
Aerin always follows Mjoll unless Mjoll is recruited as a follower of the Dragonborn. Aerin will accompany Mjoll to her new home if she marries the Dragonborn. If Mjoll joins the Blades, Aerin can be found in Sky Haven Temple. If Mjoll and the other Blades meet up with the Dragonborn to slay a dragon, Aerin accompanies them. He rarely survives such encounters.

If the Dragonborn attacks Aerin, Mjoll attacks the Dragonborn regardless of whether she is a follower or spouse. If Aerin catches the Dragonborn pickpocketing him, he will become aggressive, but Mjoll will not attack.

Quests

Trivia

 * Aerin has a Silver Greatsword under his bed which may mean he's with the Silver Hand.
 * After marrying Mjoll, Aerin is considered a friend for the purpose of charging the Ebony Blade.

Bugs

 * If Mjoll marries the Dragonborn and moves to another city, Aerin follows her but continues to talk as if he is in Riften, referring to the corruption of "this place" and hoping to travel some day and find out if other places are better.
