Who did you recruit to the Blades and why?

For me, I chose:
1. Illia the witch from Darklight Tower
2. Kharjo the travelling Khajiit bodyguard
3. Golldir, the warrior from Hilgrund's tomb

I chose those 3 for ease of access, because they were based in locations that were far from civilisation, and they also had the right skills to be blades.

The thread is not too old.

1. The drunkard from Markarth
2. The moron from Morthal who's too dumb to be a guard
3. A random mercenary hireling. Don't remember which one I picked, probably the one from Markarth.

Reasons: I wouldn't have wanted to travel with these guys anyway, just as I wouldn't travel around with a Skyrim Blades person. So, no big loss.
