What character in Skyrim do you have genuine respect for?

[Sara Mackken]

Kodla

 

[Hunfar]

M'aiq the liar of course. His level of deception is admirable.

 

[Hadean]

Erik from Rorikstead. After a bit of parental intervention he goes on to live the dream.

 

[Neriad13]

Got a new one, rife with Dawnguard spoilers.

Vigilant Tolan. Nearly all of his comrades were brutally slaughtered. He knew what had happened, knew that he and his organization were weak against the vampire threat - and yet, still he went after the murderers, managing to take out a Master Vampire on his own before succumbing to his eventual doom. The sight of his cold corpse so moved my daedra-worshipping elf that she took his Amulet of Stendarr and put it around her own throat to carry the memory of his reckless bravery with her.

 

[Ebonyflesh]

Erik the Slayer, for him getting to live the dream, and him being based on a real live person.
