Gukimir is a Nord knight added by the Knights of the Nine official download.
He will appear at the Priory of the Nine with his brother, Geimund, after the first Knight of the Nine has joined the Priory. He requests to become a Knight of the Nine and will become known as Sir Gukimir and join the Knights of the Nine faction if you accept him into the Order.
While waiting for your decision, he will be found sparring with his brother in the Priory basement from 9am to midday and from 9pm to midnight, at which point he will head to bed and sleep until 6am. At all other times he will be found wandering around the Priory House. If his brother dies at any point, he skips the sparring and instead wanders around disconsolately.
Once he's been knighted, he will instead sleep until his 9am sparring session. From midday to 6pm, he will wander around the Priory House conversing with his fellow knights, who will greet him with: "Hail, Sir Gukimir." At 6pm he eats his dinner and at 9pm he heads back downstairs for his second sparring session. He goes to bed at midnight.
Before he arrives at the priory he is equipped with legion greaves and iron armor: a cuirass, gauntlets and iron boots. He is armed with an iron battle axe and carries a set of lower class clothing: a collared shirt, sack cloth pants and a pair of rough leather shoes. After he joins the Knights of the Nine his armor is replaced by the standard Knights of the Nine outfit: a Knights of the Nine cuirass and shield, chainmail greaves, gauntlets, helmet and boots. He is then armed with a leveled longsword and bow with silver arrows.

Quest-Related EventsEdit
Priory of the NineEdit
After you have returned one of the relics and had one knight join the order, Gukimir and his brother will appear in the Priory House. When you first speak to him, he will greet you by asking if he and his brother could join your order:
- "Hail, Sir Knight! My brother and I have heard that you are founding a holy order of knights, and we would like to offer you our swords. We've come all the way from Skyrim to join up. We can't claim any experience as knights, but we learned soldiering from our years in the Legion. Will you have us?"
- I accept. Welcome to the Order.
- "You won't regret it, sir. You'll find us true-hearted and brave. I'll be back as soon as I've outfitted myself."
- You are not yet worthy.
- "You're the commander. We know how to take orders. But I know that one day we'll earn your trust."
Speaking to him again after you reject him will lead to him asking if you had changed your mind offering you the same choices as the last time you spoke:
- "My brother and I still hope to serve the gods as Knights of the Nine. Have you changed your mind? Will you induct us into the Order?"
Once you've completed the quest, you may hear Nords or Orcs outside of Skingrad refer to the brothers:
- "My cousin in Skingrad said that a pair of brothers stopped there looking for the Priory of the Nine. They wanted to be Knights! Can you believe it?"
The Blessing of TalosEdit
Once you've returned to the Priory with the Sword of the Crusader, if he's been admitted into the Order, Gukimir will be found in the Chapel alongside his fellow knights. After listening to the Prophet's sermon, he will set off on horseback to Garlas Malatar.
Umaril the UnfeatheredEdit
When you arrive at Garlas Malatar, Gukimir will be stood outside ready to fight. Once you give the order or simply enter into the ruins, he will charge inside and attack any Auroran he can find. He will continue to battle until you destroy the Dark Orb in the second zone, after which you'll be separated.
Once you return to the Priory having defeated Umaril, he will listen to Sir Thedret's speech before cheering your success by clapping and exclaiming:
- "Hail! Hail! Hail!"
- "By the might of Talos, the Crusader is arisen!"
AftermathEdit
With the Order restored, Gukimir's routine will change slightly: he will now practice archery behind the Priory House from 12pm to 6pm. He can also be asked to follow you:
- Come with me
- "Lead the way, Sir Knight."
- Follow me.
- "Lead the way, Sir Knight."
- Wait here.
- "As you command."
- Return to your duties.
- "I was honored to be of assistance."
Should Gukimir fall in the battle at Garlas Malatar, he will be replaced by a generic male Orc Knight of the Nine. His brother can be heard mourning his loss:
- "I was just thinking about my brother...Gukimir... sometimes I still can't believe he's dead. I miss him. He was my brother, and my best friend."
The other knights can also be heard discussing him:
- "Well... I was just thinking about poor Sir Gukimir. He should still be here, with us, planning his next quest."
- "You know me too well. Something someone said today reminded me of Sir Gukimir. He was a fine knight, wasn't he?"
NotesEdit
- It is possible for Gukimir to be stuck permanently following you if you trigger the KotN follower bug; see bugs for details.
- Gukimir rides a Chestnut Horse that can be found in the Priory's stables after the brothers have arrived. You are free to use this horse, since the horse is not labeled as being owned by Gukimir.
