So whilst going to rescue the Moth Priest 'Dexion Evictus' I think I accidentally might have hit him, not sure how. Anyhow the bearded maniac has taken this as a personal attack and refuses to accept a yeild. Because he's so angry with me he'll just not quit, but being a quest NPC he can't die, nor can my companion Mjoll. So aside from the hilarious infinity battle, I thought, fair enough I'll talk to him whilst he's 'downed' and lo, I progressed the quest.

So I go back to the Dawnguard fortress, and he's there in the middle shouting murder and attacking everyone in the fortress! Clearly his rage knows no bounds.

enter image description here

Is there a way to forcibly pacify him without interring him? Or do I need to roll back and do over?

Opening the console, clicking on him, then typing disable then enable seems to have solved it. –  DavidYell Aug 4 '12 at 21:36
You could try a Calm spell. I think that's what it's for. Not 100% sure as my modus operandi is 'kill first, don't ask questions later' –  Alex Aug 4 '12 at 23:32

Opening the console, clicking on him, so you see his ingame object id, then typing disable then enable seems to have solved it.

Using setav aggression 0 didn't seem to have an affect.

Actually, setav aggression 0 is what prevented him from attacking you the second he was enabled. –  kotekzot Aug 10 '12 at 16:45
