Derkeethus Defaults:

Scared emotion lasts forever
NO PERKS - he is pretty much useless in any real combat situation
Low base health
Flees from combat CONSTANTLY due to the low base health always running out and his low courage setting
Constantly engages in melee combat over using his bow when he is better at using his bow
He only levels with you up to 30
He dual wields only when given two pickaxes
No spells ... not even a healing spell
Unoriginal character design - nothing sets him apart from other Argonians except for his curled horns
Reports any crimes that he witnessed you committing (Bad Derky!)

Derkeethus is good at managing stamina and one handed weapons due to his time mining

Derkeethus can now dual wield any one hand weapon that you give him
Derkeethus will use his healing spells and alteration spells
Derkeethus now has a very original look to him that remains lore friendly while giving him that youthful foolhardy look that he has been needing: Light green skin / Dark green warpaint / Yellow pupil eyes / Yellow neck
