i walk around with a dark brother hood initiate . i have her wearing full daedric armor and daedric weapons. i had never done the companions quest so i joined up and had to accept there companion to do a quest so when i return my db initiate is nowhere to be found i returned to the db lair in downstar and theres a new initiate there without all my stuff. did i just lose her for good , should i just reload a prior save? any help would be appreciated . that armor was a [censored] to make.

freaking out self bump :/

go marry someone

You're probably going to have to reload. Next time, tell your DB initiate companion to wait somewhere for you before you take the Companions' companion.

Find out her/his RefID and use console to spawn him/her next to you....

I had the same issue once. Did you try to fast travel somewhere. They'll show up a lot of times when you do this.

thanks, i reloaded already :/ also just to check upon reloading i told her to wait back at the sanctuary . then i fast traveled over to it and she wasnt there. hmmm. unless shes walking over, im surprised she wasnt there. needless to say im taking my daedric armor back. now im off to find a wife.

When my normal companion and I got seperated, she was not wearing the armor I gave her until I traded some things with her.

Now, since companions can only really be killed by direct action of the player in this game, I have to ask, why are you giving them the good stuff? Lydia gets all my hand me downs and cast offs.

well i have 2 full daedric sets i gave her my first one when i made a second one. she looks cool i didnt mind untill she up and vanished.

That's what you get for trusting a cold blooded killer. They were probably in Anvil by the time you noticed them missing.

There is 2 initiates btw, you might have seen the other one the time you were looking for your follower. I imagine the companion questline needed one of them to follow you, so you lost your follower. So I think he would be walking back to the DB safehouse. Just go there and use the wait function.

The DB initiates can't be killed though as a follower, so you don't need to give them armor, especially heavy armor.
