Features
- Talion resurrects 4 hours post-mortem. His scripting is specific enough to identify if his death was an accident or murder if killed by the player. Your definition of "accident" and "murder" may vary from mine.
- He is considered “undead” by the game, meaning most healing spells will not affect him. Circle of Protection, Bane of the Undead, and other anti-undead spells will affect him.
- Talion has no morals, similar to Jenassa. You are free to wreak havoc on Tamriel with him.
- If you ever murder Talion, prepare for him to chase you throughout Skyrim.
