I've read lots of forum topics regarding the lack of choice of marriage candidate and followers of various mer and beast races, but I just realised Skyrim supports neither for a Redguard race.

Are redguards just a hugely unpopular race that nobody tells the devs nor care that they hardly get a mention in this game besides one lousy quest, or has no one really noticed?

There is one thats a follower, I found from a google search. And it was the first entry.

Edit: However, according to the list on UESP, he is the only one.

Only if you don't do the Lights out for Jee Ra, but I gues he does count as a follower.

Anwen can be married...but she stays in the Temple of Dibella.

Ahtar can be a follower (and was mine for a while). He uses a Headsman Axe ( The one used in Roggvir's execution) and is pretty badass if i say so myself lol.

You can find him in either Jala's House or Castle Dour Dungeon, and you'll have to clear out some bandit cave for him.

I'd choose redguard over any of the other human races, just because of their arabic-ness....in fact i might go make a new character now...
