Klimmek is a Nord trader who resides at his house in the town of Ivarstead.
He resides with Bassianus Axius, who is currently searching for a job and a permanent residence in Ivarstead. He and Bassianus work together as fishermen.
Background
Klimmek is a trader who makes deliveries from Ivarstead to High Hrothgar. He can be found on the road out of Ivarstead to High Hrothgar on various occasions. Klimmek and Fastred were romantically involved at one time, until she became more interested in Bassianus. It is revealed that Klimmek likes to fish; this is heard in a conversation between him and Fastred, if they are reunited during the quest "The Book of Love."
Interactions
Climb The Steps
Klimmek usually delivers supplies to the Greybeards at High Hrothgar, but at the time of the quest, he is unable to take the trip up the mountain. The Dragonborn may receive the supplies from him and make the trip for Klimmek. The supplies are to be placed in a chest in between the two stairways leading up to High Hrothgar's entrance.
The Book of Love
Klimmek can be persuaded to express his feelings towards Fastred and make her change her mind on leaving Ivarstead with Bassianus Axius.
Conversations
High Hrothgar
Gwilin "On your way up the 7,000 Steps again, Klimmek?"
Klimmek "Not today. I'm just not ready to make the climb to High Hrothgar. The path isn't safe."
Gwilin "Aren't the Greybeards expecting some supplies?"
Klimmek "Honestly, I'm not certain. I've yet to be allowed into the monastery. Perhaps one day."
