Companions (Bannerlord)

includeonly>

Companions are unique characters that can be customized by the player and sent on tasks.

Companions can be assigned to:

1. Complete quests, given that they satisfy the skill requirements. They will leave for a period of days until the quest is completed, troops may also be required.
2. Lead caravans, which will travel on the campaign map gaining income for the clan with their trade skill.
3. Lead war parties, and they cost no influence when you ask them to join your army.
4. Govern settlements, applying any "Governor" perks. Note if their culture does not match the settlement there is a loyalty penalty (can be negated with the right perks).
5. "Diplomacy". Leaving a party member in a castle or town increases your relations with the owner (potentially notables in the town as well) over time.

Recruitment

Companions can be recruited at major towns in the tavern. All companions have an occupation of Wanderer. To find all available companions in the game you open the in-game encyclopedia, go to Heroes, and then filter on the Wanderer occupation. From there, you can also see each companion's skill levels before recruiting them.

Companion Suffixes

Every character has a name followed by a suffix, such as "Vasinya the Accursed", or "Mina the Black". The suffix determines the companion's starting skills.

Warning: These are subject to change since the game is still in Early Access Release! For example in beta version e1.1.0 skills were significantly changed.

Below is a list of known suffixes and their starting values.
