Follower by the name of Matthias, a heavy armor warrior type who is skilled with two-handers and 1-handed swords and shields. My first follower mod so please leave feed back if needed! He is found in the bannered mare in White Run. He is also a marriage partner, along with being essential so he won't die! Just give him a moment to get back up.

I don't believe he needs anything specific other than Apachii Hair for males, but I can always recommend plenty of mods to go with him.

http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/13722/? Eyes of beauty!

I can always recommend Better Males as well, the mod doesn't seem to be here on the Nexus anymore. If I can think of anything else...I'll add it later.
