Answer 2

The above link has Skyrim NPC base ID's.

This works for the PC. I have searched for the same problem then finally after trial and error of about 50+ codes I found the code for retrieving an NPC. If the NPC is dead you do NOT use Resurrect. The code doesn't seem to be working as intended at the moment. Instead you use:

player.placeatme "BaseID"

So an example of this would be if Alvor died and I needed to bring him back. This is what it would look like:

player.placeatme 00013475

You would enter that into console exactly how it is shown above. You enter console by pressing the tilda key (~). Hope this helps!

Yhis does NOT work if the NPC is your follower ...or so I have found.

Resurrect works if you capitalized the R
