Like the rest of the Companions, he lives in Jorrvaskr in the Wind District of Whiterun. He is friendlier to new members than others are. Farkas and his twin brother Vilkas were raised at Jorrvaskr by Jergen, who rescued them from a circle of necromancers. He takes great pride in his physical strength, and notes that he enjoys the added strength of his Beast Form. He prefers to resolve problems through bludgeoning and leave the thinking to others if possible.
