Followers are characters featured in Oblivion who can follow the Hero of Kvatch around Cyrodiil. They may be given the commands "Wait" (to stay where they are), "Follow", and "Go away" (to have them leave). Followers are generally non-essential characters, and may die - though (with the exception of the Knights of the Nine), they will eventually respawn and can be found at their original location.

FollowersEdit

Permanent followers can be asked to accompany the Hero, they will follow them until they die or are asks to wait or leave.

TriviaEdit

• It is possible to have multiple followers or all (with the exception of the Apprentice and Erthor) at once, and six of them will not die. Also, Velwyn Berinus, whom the Hero bought Berinus Manor in Anvil from, will follow while the manor is being cleansed. There are others possible also. Various guards and Captains (such as Savlian Matius) can follow the Hero in the Breaking the Siege of Kvatch quest.
  • When there are four or more followers the message, "You have too many followers" will appear, but it can be ignored because it doesn't have any effect.
• The only follower who will not fight is the Adoring Fan. He only stands around and gives light in dark places with a torch. During combat, he will run away, and return when combat ends.
