So the only way not to get a duplicate is to take Frost?

Must be. I've got the same haunting as Lyn1964 outside of the stables in Whiterun... but it's only one of him.

Is yours glitched in the ground? I have one of him outside Whiterun, but he's not glitched.

I don't think killing him even helps. I've tried finishing the quest by killing/taking the horse and just giving it over. I have 2.5 and 3 on the builds that did this quests, respectively.


But it can be fun to sit on top of the whiterun stables and hit them all with fury...

The little [censored] won't stop fidgeting about so I'm trying to count in aerial view... 13 bald patches. 14 including half-Louis. 13.5 Letrush's, 14 full bald patches.

I'm scared and I'm running away.

No, he's not. It kind of freaked me out the first time I saw him, but after that I've taken no notice. I think I'm going to watch him a bit tonight and see if he's stuck in one place.

I only got 3. That svcks. I want more.

MIne was just standing in front of the stables, he wasn't half buried in the ground. Yet.

Anyway I disabled him and he's gone. We'll see if a clone turns up, if so I'll target him in the console and make note of the ID and then... I dunno. Maybe use the console to move him to my location when I'm deep in some dungeon somewhere and see how long it takes for him to find his way out.

Edit:

I took Frost and I've had one Letrush show up so far, we'll see if any more come around.

Just have Letrush reskinned to look like a guard or something.

Or a crossdresser. The shame of it! What would people think of Whiterun?!

Because I don't Slow-Travel much I never noticed him until the other day. Two standing and one half-sunk into the ground. Now there are three and a half. I just don't go that way, or I don't go so close as to cause all the "Hmm?", "Need something?", "Yes?" comments from them.

He gave me the horse once I threatened to tell on him. And he payed me to boot! He did send someone after me though for betraying him.
Thank goodness I took the horse. I couldn't handle that many of him.

Once you witness him get murdered, he becomes non essential. i had 6 of them and i killed them and havent seen him since.

Easy in-games fixes:

1) don't do the quest
2) do the quest without gltiching it
3) kill the lot of them

On my first character, I've got six of him. There's a whole pack of Letrushes guarding Whiterun.
On my second, luckily, he's disappeared off the face of Mundus -- the quest bugged out, he's gone and Frost stays wherever I leave him!

Just kill him, both versions are killable.
