Followers are characters featured in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion who can follow the Hero of Kvatch to most places around Cyrodiil. They may be given the commands "Wait" (to stay where they are), "Follow", and "Go away" (to have them leave). Followers are generally non-essential characters, and may die—though (with the exception of the Knights of the Nine), they will eventually respawn and can be found at their original location.
