Vilkas

A Nord warrior is a member of the Circle of Companions and, accordingly, a werewolf. He has a twin brother named Farkas. Vilkas and Farkas have never seen their father and mother, but they don't care. As children, they were looked after by a certain man, who later left them to Kodlak White Mane. Having matured, Vilkas and Farkas joined the Circle. Kodlak had always been an object of admiration for Vilkas, he agreed with him to restrain himself and, if possible, avoid transformation, and later, without hesitation, he agreed to be cured of lycanthropy.

At first, Vilkas treats Dovahkiin rather harshly. Vilkas will not react in any way to petty crimes, such as theft, but if the hero kills a peaceful character, the companion will draw his weapon and rush at his partner.Vilkas supports Stormcloaks in the war

Like many of his race, Vilkas has an athletic build, powerful stature and broad shoulders. He cuts his hair from time to time, usually it does not reach his shoulders, it is jet black in color, however, due to infrequent washing, it looks dull. Faded blue eyes look at their interlocutor with a cold, gloomy gaze. The facial hair is presented in the form of harsh stubble, and war paint is applied around the eyes. .His skin is slightly darker than that of the other Nords, who are usually seen as pale as the snow at the Throat of the World. The eyebrows are thick, almost not arched. His hands are quite thick and strong, his palms are worn and calloused. The face is decorated with several scars, received in battle with bandits, the “Silver Hand” or anyone else. Often looks tired and unhappy

For Vilkas, honor and valor in a person mean a lot. He considers these qualities to be dominant and treats cowards, deceivers and hucksters with contempt, which are practically the same thing. He is distinguished from many Companions by a certain love of books, thoughtfulness and erudition. He always prefers to act thoughtfully, to act judiciously, in any situation to remain calm and equanimous, the ability to think soberly and comprehend the situation. In battle he is brave, but not reckless.He treats newcomers in the ranks of the Companions strictly and harshly, not really believing that one of the “greens” will be able to achieve great success and become a truly skilled warrior until they prove him otherwise. He has great respect for Skjor and Kodlak, especially the latter.They look to him almost like ideals, an example of what a man can achieve in the military profession, guidelines. Overall, Vilkas manages to contain the qualities of both a fearless warrior and a sensible bookworm.

The son of a blacksmith becomes a blacksmith. The son of a merchant is a merchant. Just like a farmer's son is destined to become a farmer. This happens almost always. Sometimes it is a character trait, sometimes an accident, some circumstances. Perhaps Vilkas and his brother would have plowed the land in the future, having inherited a farm from their father, if this very farm had not been burned by vampires who attacked it, killed the head of the family and the eldest son in bed, and took the rest of the family captive. Over time, they were most likely sent to feed vampires. The line gradually reached the young twins, but again fate changed its decision, or carried out a later part of its plan.In the large hall, Jorrvaskra sat at the table, leaning back in his chair, openly bored and drinking ale. “Are you bored?” a voice came from behind. White Mane did not need to turn around to realize that the Harbinger himself was addressing him. “There’s a job,” the gray-bearded man sat down heavily on the next chair and looked wearily at his successor, “A farm recently burned down south of Solitude.” Burnt to the ground, - The Harbinger fell silent. Kodlak's nascent interest immediately began to wane. Is it really a job for him, a seasoned warrior, to deal with all sorts of fires on farms?

Well, no, it’s better to continue to sit your ass in Jorrvaskr than to drag yourself to such a distant Solitude for some unknown reason. “I understand your disappointment,” the Harbinger continued, “But that’s not all.” Local residents claim that vampires have settled somewhere nearby. Previously, they stole cattle, but now, apparently, they switched to people,” the gray-bearded man looked questioningly at the Companion, “Will you take it?”A detachment of Companions burst into the cave of vampires and, without allowing the enemy to come to their senses, quickly eliminated most of the bloodsuckers. The remnants tried to put up organized resistance, but were crushed under the onslaught of the Nords. In the detachment there was a warrior named Kodlak White Mane. Having found the brothers, he decided to take them with him to Jorrvaskr and raise them as warriors.

My childhood was spent under conditions of barracks discipline. The harsh life of a soldier, the environment of his Companions, constant training with weapons, all these factors participated in shaping the nature of the brothers, but if Farkas spent more time handling weapons, training the body and learning blacksmithing in the Heavenly Forge with Yorlund, then Vilkas liked to spend more time studying tactics, reading books. As Skjor said, Farkas had the strength of Ysgramor, and Vilkas had his mind. He spent most of his time in the Companions' festive hall, reading books or honing his sword skills, sometimes going on various missions.For some reason, he often began to be assigned tasks in a team with newcomers to the ranks of the order, supposedly so that the youngsters would gain experience alongside the elders, as well as their partial training. Vilkas didn't like it, but he didn't mind. I took it as a duty.For a long time, he had not seen any kind of people. All people have an individual nature, and in order for everyone to learn a lesson, one had to know their characteristics. Delve into them. And this was not the most pleasant thing. Subsequently, he became convinced that there was no need to stand on ceremony with anyone, all of them alone could not do anything. But even with this attitude, it was necessary to take into account the characteristics of a person.

Vilkas has a twin brother, Farkas.Overall, Farkas is straightforward, but a kind and determined ally. Kodlak points out in his diary that Farkas is more resilient than his brother. Skjor and Aela the Huntress tease him for his narrow-mindedness and call him a “scumbag,” but Farkas is not offended by them.
