Farkas calls Jergen his father, and considers the Companions his family. He is especially close to his brother and follows along with his views in most situations.

Kodlak states in his journal that Farkas is "too kindhearted" to be Harbinger. Farkas is also the first of the Companions, apart from Kodlak, to be genuinely friendly and welcoming toward the Dragonborn when they join the order.

Vilkas jokes about Farkas being the more dim-witted of the two. Other Companions will also insult Farkas.
