Yolan

"Stupid fucker..."

-Yolan's last words

Yolan is the bodyguard of Athelm and the Outlander, as well as the Outlander's sparring coach. He is a skilled fighter, being able to kill many of Aemon's men before dying.

Plot
Yolan spars with the Outlander in the Summerheath estate before Aemon and his men arrive in search of Athelm. Yolan doesn't trust Aemon's claim that there is a crisis in the capital, especially since he arrived with a large group or armed men, and orders the Outlander to find Athelm. When Athelm is killed, Yolan protects the Outlander by stabbing the throat of a man who attempts to strike the Outlander from behind and throwing his knife into the skull of another.

After the Outlander is knocked down by Aemon's men, Yolan rushes to their defense, only to be stabbed through the back of the chest by a spear. He falls to his knees and spitefully requests that the man who stabbed him look him in the eyes as he kills him, only to spit in the man's face and slit his throat with a hidden knife while he is stunned. He calls the man a "stupid fucker" before collapsing and dying of his injuries.
