Heathcliff is a companion with new class, new combat style, standalone weapon & shield, standalone appearance, and standalone armors and many more. He can teach you his blocking skills and give you tips about fighting.

If you have watched Sword Art Online anime, then I'm sure you know him. ^___^

Heathcliff is the leader of what is considered to be the strongest guild on skyrim "Knights of the Blood". He wields the one-handed sword and a tower shield collectively called as Liberator. As a leader of the Knight of the Blood, Heathcliff was quite renown for his general tendency to stay out of guild affairs, preferring to allow his sub-leaders to develop plans and advance the jobs. Apart from guild paperwork and battles, Heathcliff rarely interfered with the choices and actions of his sub-leaders.

• He is a fighter with one-handed weapon and blocking skills;
• He is marriagable;
• He is essential, it means he cannot die on any circumstances;
• He doesn't trigger trap;
• He doesn't affect stealth meter;
• He doesn't care with your crime;
• His min level is 15 and his max level is 100 with level mult at 1.20 .
  

Here's an overview of his features that differs him from other companion:

• Standalone equipment, he is using an equipment set of "Knight of the Blood";
• Standalone appearance, he will use his own meshes & textures no matter what meshes & textures you used;
• New class, he is classified as "Knight of the Blood" at the game;
• New combat style, he is using new combat styles that makes him fight different from other companion and enemy. I recommend you to use a mod called Enhanced Skyrim Factions: Companions and ask Heathcliff to sparring with you in order to see his new combat style;
• Tweaked dialogue, his current voice is MaleEvenToned. But, his voice is tweaked so he will not speak the same as normal companion;
• New quest, you must complete a quest for him first before you can recruit him as your companion. This quest is fully-voiced using all vanilla assets;
• New dialogue, you can ask him to give a tips about fighting after you complete his quest. This dialogue is fully-voiced using all vanilla assets;
• Block trainer, you can ask him to train you at blocking skills after you complete his quest. He is a master trainer, it means that he can train you until your blocking skills is 100.
