Skyrim:Dawnguard NPCs

Over 80 new NPCs have been added by the Dawnguard add-on, including six followers, five trainers, and also three ferrymen who can be hired to take you between certain cities by boat. Many of the new NPCs are aligned with either the Dawnguard or the Volkihar vampire clan, but some do not have a "side". Certain NPCs can be found in their main location immediately after installing the add-on, while others can only be encountered during certain quests.

Key Players

There are a few NPCs who play a major role in the adventures you embark on during the add-on's main questline. You will encounter them throughout the storyline regardless of your choices in gameplay.

• Isran — Leader of the Dawnguard vampire hunters. Wishes to wipe out the vampire menace in Skyrim.
• Lord Harkon — Leader of the Volkihar vampire clan. Plans to use Elder Scrolls in a ritual to blot out the sun.
• Serana — The daughter of Lord Harkon. She is sought by Harkon for use as a sacrifice in his ritual.
• Dexion Evicus — A moth priest who reads an Elder Scroll for whichever faction you ally yourself with.
• Valerica — The estranged wife of Harkon and mother of Serana. She is trying to protect her daughter and keep Harkon from succeeding in his plan.
• Knight-Paladin Gelebor — A Snow Elf who guards the wayshrine at the Chantry of Auriel. He will offer you Auriel's Bow in exchange for a favor.
• Arch-Curate Vyrthur — The brother of Knight-Paladin Gelebor. He is responsible for creating the prophecy Harkon wishes to fulfill.
