Farkas

"You've been a good friend to me, that means something."

- Farkas to the Dovahkiin

Farkas is a lycanthropic nord resident as well as a member of the Companions at Jorrvaskr, in Whiterun. He makes up a more exclusive group in the team known as The Circle, alongside his twin brother Vilkas, Aela the Huntress, and Skjor, all of which have the blood of lycanthropes. He is voiced by singer Michael "Popeye" Vogelsang.

Personality
Between him and his twin brother Vilkas, he is the stronger of the two; but in return, his brother is the more intelligent of them, which is put into actuality by his short dialogues. Despite his muscular build, Farkas is actually a very kind-hearted individual. As such he acts very friendly towards other Companions, especially towards the Dovahkiin.

When searching Dustman's Caign for a shard of Ysmor's legendary axe Wuuthrad, it is revealed that he has arachnophobia, as he is afraid of frostbite spiders encountered in the crypt.
