The male Initiate is a Nord assassin who wears Shrouded Armor, Shrouded Gloves, Shrouded Boots, and a Shrouded Cowl. Eager, dedicated, and not afraid to get their hands wet.' Nazir will praise the duo for their devotion to the Dark Brotherhood: 'The new initiates are working out well. They also cannot be ordered to kill other Dark Brotherhood members (including the other initiate and Shadowmere), but will do almost anything else. They cannot be recruited into the Blades and cannot be used as a sacrifice in Boethiah's Calling. This makes the Initiate a good choice of follower at high levels. In addition, the Initiates are marked Essential and will not die. The Dark Brotherhood Initiate is one of the few followers that will level with you past level 50. Also contrary to their profession, they will still not effectively kill enemies without alerting/attacking other enemies in the room when ordered to attack. Because they do not have default arrows, their inventories must be kept stocked with arrows in order to make ranged combat viable. Despite being assassins, the Initiates can only dual wield if they have at least one Forsworn sword or axe. Both initiates wear Shrouded Armor, Shrouded Gloves, Shrouded Boots, and a Shrouded Cowl, and are equipped with an Ebony Dagger. The other is a Nord male found in the living quarters, often reading. One is a Nord female found in the main room with Nazir, usually cooking. They are found in the Dawnstar Sanctuary after you complete Hail Sithis! and begin improvements for the Dawnstar Sanctuary from Delvin Mallory of the Thieves Guild in Riften. Two Dark Brotherhood Initiates will become available as followers after finishing all Dark Brotherhood quests.
