Kjar is a Nord ship captain who has worked the river since he could walk and wouldn’t trade it for anything. He commands the North Wind, a ship moored at the Windhelm Docks on the south-eastern side of Windhelm, with the grumpy Breton Dalan Merchad among his crew.
Where to find them
At the docks, on or near his ship.
Quests
Harsh Master – Kjar isn’t hiring, but he does have a job: a former member of his crew needs to be dealt with. He sends you to kill them at one of several places, such as Stony Creek Cave, Traitor’s Post, Lost Knife Hideout, Gallows Rock or Uttering Hills Cave. If you already killed the target before talking to him, the quest simply updates and you can return for your reward. The hideout can overlap with the Bards College quest Finn’s Lute, so you might clear two jobs in one trip.
Personality & relationships
Kjar is a man of rules. On his boat you follow them, starting with: don’t touch what isn’t yours. He talks about the river as the only real freedom there is.
Good to know
- Due to a faction quirk, crimes against him are counted in Winterhold rather than Windhelm.
