Origin
The Companions are renowned soliders for hire.They have fought for what was right since the First Empire.They orignal Harbinger was none other than Ysgramor.He was considered as one of the most legendary heroes of men of that age.The title Harbinger was passed down to strong companions who rose through the ranks.Jorrvaskr (the place the companions reside) is located in the middle of Whiterun.Almost everyone can follow once you beat the questline and most can train you.Which is very great because you are allowed to do a train/follower glitch.Everyone outside Jorrvaskr believe they are mostly perfect.What they don't know is they are werewolves.When you get far in the questline you will be granted that ability.Not all members of The Companions are werewolves,only the Circle.The Circle is a group of highly ranked companions who show courage,strength,and perseverance.They are hated by The Sliver Hand though.The Sliver Hand are a group of monster hunters (particulary in werewolves).Even with there troubles they are an INCREDIBLE assistance in the main questline of the Dragonborn
