"I'm running food and supplies to the miners. Don't pay much, but they let me sleep by the fire in the inn most nights."

―Alesan

Alesan is a Redguard orphan boy who is eligible for adoption by the Dragonborn.

Background

He sells food to the miners in Dawnstar to make money to survive.

Alesan and his father were on a boat when his father became sick. The crew dropped the two off in Dawnstar. A few days later his father died. At night, he can be found sleeping on the floor in the Windpeak Inn.

The Dragonborn can adopt him with the Hearthfire add-on.
