What this mod does: Adds my favorite player character into the game as a follower. His name is Darius Stormshield--a half Nord/half Imperial warrior that contracted vampirism as the result of an accident while hunting vampires near Morthal. He uses heavy armor and two-handed weapons and can be found in the Four Shields tavern in Dragonbridge. You do not have to do anything special to get him to follow you--just talk to him. He is not marriageable and he does not bite. He is marked as essential, so fire away at those enemies in those massive battles--he'll be fine!
Although he is a vampire, it is safe for him to follow you to Fort Dawnguard, for those of you with the Dawnguard DLC. He followed me through the whole fort on the test runs and no one batted an eye over it.
Note: Although Darius will refuse to commit crimes for the player, he will attack certain NPCs if asked. I am not sure of the entire list of ones he will/won't attack, so caution should be exercised when asking him to attack things. I am currently unaware of how to resolve this issue.
Note on Screenshot: Any screenshots uploaded here are from my own personal game files, and as such may contain mods that I use personally but aren't included in these files. I have endeavored to strip the game down as close to vanilla as possible before taking the screenshots, but there may still be traces of mods that I forgot to deactivate beforehand. This shot has textures from, I believe, aMidian's armor texture mod(s) and textures from Xenius's character enhancement mods. Once again, those mods are not included in these files.
