Aela the Huntress is a Nord member of the Companions. Aela is one of the highest-ranking members and as such, is a member of the secret group, the Circle.

In 4E 201, Aela and her fellow Companions were battling a giant in the outskirts of Whiterun. There, she met the Last Dragonborn who was interested in joining their group, telling them to speak with Kodlak Whitemane at Jorrvaskr for recruitment.[1] After the Dragonborn kept proving their worth through different contracts and venturing with Farkas to retrieve a fragment of Wuuthrad, Aela and the other members of the Circle gathered outside Jorrvaskr to welcome the Dragonborn into their elite organization.[2] Aela was also present when Skjor offered the Dragonborn the opportunity to become a werewolf, giving her own blood for the ritual. As the Dragonborn gained consciousness after their werewolf transformation, Aela informed them that she and Skjor had tracked down the Silver Hand, a group of werewolf hunters, to their hideout. Unfortunately, they found Skjor slain by the Silver Hand and Aela vowed to avenge him.[3] Aela sent the Dragonborn to assassinate a leader of the Silver Hand and search a Silver Hand hideout for information on the location of their headquarters.[4][5] Kodlak soon caught wind of these operations. After Kodlak was assassinated by the Silver Hand and the werewolf hunters were wiped out in retaliation, Aela ventured with Farkas, Vilkas, and the Dragonborn to Ysgramor's Tomb to cure Kodlak's spirit of his lycanthropy, so that he could make his way to Sovngarde. After they were successful, Aela recognized the Dragonborn as the new Harbinger, succeeding Kodlak as leader.[6]
