Used 'disable' command on NPC - how do I get him back?

I disabled an NPC named Tolfdir because he kept attacking me because my auto click went on and attacked him. He kept attacking me and I can't load a previous save. I disabled him, left the building and went back in and tried re-enabling him and I haven't seen him since. What do I need to do?

To target an NPC in the console without clicking on him with the console open, you can use prid <RefID> command:

Sets the NPC as reference, allowing other commands to be used, good for targeting NPCs that you can't reach/select on screen or fixing quest glitches about NPCs not appearing.

Once a target is selected, Name and RefID will be displayed in the center of the screen. The RefID for Unique NPCs can be usually be found on the wiki, such as here, in the basic information box. For Tolfdir, it is 0001C1A1. Do not confuse it with the BaseID.

So, in total, to get Tolfdir back, open the console and type:

prid 0001C1A1
enable

Several more Celestial Dew are hidden within Eternal City, an area the Tarnished will likely reach later in the game. Once players have Celestial Dew, they can head to the Church of Vows and interact with the statue on the altar to atone for their sins. This will remove any NPC hostility.
