Some companions are just flat out better than others when it comes to certain skills and there are an awful lot of them. Their stats can have a huge effect on what role they're best suited to within your army, whether it is as a soldier on the front line, or as a tactician or quartermaster. They can be allocated to serve as a personal guard during battles or to accompany you into towns, but they can also be assigned to govern towns.

The most valuable people in your army will be companions, who are people that can be assigned roles and who can be upgraded in similar ways to your player controlled character. Recruiting people to your cause in Mount And Blade 2 Bannerlord is key to achieving your goals, whatever they may be.
