Haven't seen M'Aiq in quite a while, today I was travelling to Riften and I was having a tough bear+spider fight when I saw the friendly hood near the road. Thank God, I said, M'Aiq will help me and I run towards him. What do you think he does? He put his sorry claws on the lying head and cries "I yield, I yield!". LMAO and he sounded like quite the expert. Have you seen him fight anything?

Damn cats, never trust'em. I've spotted Maiq in many places but never in a combat situation. He's probably essential npc and if he fought he could have done big damage like entire settlements

Hi is not only essential but he can not be hurt, I shot him with an arrow once, he did not notice.
