So Lydia, or whatever the first companion's name was, apparently died unbeknownst to me, and her body rests somewhere in the frozen wastes between Winterhelm and Winterhold. Unfortunate, considering she was carrying a lot of good stuff, but we learn to move on.

So after wracking my brain for who else said they'd follow me (anyway to figure this out quickly too? Had about 10 offers but could only remember one), I remembered some fellow at a mine said he'd follow me once, so thus I found Roggi Knot-Beard.

Problem is, he comes equipped with nothing except a dagger and a shield, so I assume he's sword and board which is fine with me. But what type of armor does he use? I assumed Lydia used heavy so I always gave her that, but I may have assumed wrong because she would go down very quickly at times. With this guy, I'm not even given a hint and none of the Wikis have much info filled out on him beyond his quest line.
