Odfel Brightvale

Historical Data
A member of the Companions of old, Odfel was a Nord that adored the ideas of battle, and found the Companions to be the spark that he needed to bring happiness to his life. Within the Companions, he found a brotherhood of Shield-Brothers and Shield-Sisters who shared his love for battle and his pride in helping those within Skyrim. But his world would be shattered when most of his brethren were slaughtered by the Silver Hand, and Jorrvaskr was burned to the ground. One of the few survivors of the Companions, Odfel found himself traveling until meeting the woman that became his wife would bring back his passion and drive. Returning to his homeland of Skyrim, Odfel found himself in the employ of the Jarl of Solitude, serving for years as a guard and agent until he found himself yearning once more for the creed of the Companions. With that, he began to recruit others during his travels toward the ideals of the new Companions. When he was ready, he parted from the service of Solitude on good terms, and returned to Whiterun to rebuild Jorrvaskr once more.

In the years since, Odfel has led the Companions to a new age. While he does not fight as much as he used to in his old age, Odfel has found himself enjoying teaching the next generation of Companions. He has trained warriors such as Jegnorr Scaleblade and his son, Adrian Brightvale.

Odfel's companion creature is Oog, a black bear that has been his partner for many years.
