10 Most Engaging Skyrim NPCs

Serana is a pure-blood vampire and the daughter of Lord Harkon, the leader of the Volkihar Clan of vampires. When the player first meets Serana, she is found inside a crypt where she's been held for an extremely long time. She doesn't trust the Dragonborn very much at first, but over time she grows more comfortable and reveals secrets about her past. The information she shares is intriguing and gives the player a good understanding of vampirism within Skyrim.

However, what's most interesting about Serana is her personal history and her family dynamic. Her childhood was relatively good, but as she grew older her father wanted more power and was willing to sacrifice Serana for it. Needless to say, they have a complicated and dramatic relationship.

Beyond her fascinating personality and life story, Serana is also a remarkable person to have as a follower. She is incredibly skilled in many areas and can be a big help to the Dragonborn in many scenarios.
