Mount And Blade II: Bannerlord is more intricate than previous installments with its caravans. Unlike previous installments, the companions aren’t the same in every playthrough. When choosing a companion to run caravans, it’s important to look at their names. Every companion has a randomized title in their name that indicates their skill levels.

What companions do I choose to lead Caravans?

You’re going to want to find companions with these titles:

These titles indicate their skill sets are tailored to trade and stewardship. Steward indicates how well they can lead and manage. Trade measures how well they can sell items.
