"The security in Whiterun is terrible. Shameful, is what it is."

―Sinmir

Sinmir is a Nord warrior at The Bannered Mare in Whiterun. He is openly negative of the local guard and their commander.

Personality

Speaking with the Dragonborn, he complains about the city's security and the guards in Whiterun. He believes that the guards are lazy and undisciplined. He even says that Commander Caius is a "preening rooster," and that he could do the job himself blindfolded.

Battle for Whiterun

He becomes Guard Captain of the Whiterun Guard if the Stormcloaks take over the city.
