Appearance:

Yolland is a short, heavyset man with a handle-bar mustache that doesn't quite reach his upper lip. He wears clothes that are always a bit large for him, and have been patched in many places. He is from a northern city, and has what people from the south would consider a strange accent.

Interaction:

Yolland is a friendly man, and will almost always be the first to welcome strangers to his shop. He is quick to give a helping hand to those in need (within reason), though he will usually evince a bit of moral conflict before doing so. He is very willing to talk about the various wares in his shop, or the city in general. If the players ask, he will be happy to recount what he knows of the stolen item. He will not, however, betray any client's trust, and will be cautious in answering anything he feels might open him to such a situation.

Background:

Yolland has a deep respect for the law, though he is also aware of its imperfections. He tries to follow the law as closely as he can, and finds a great deal of enjoyment in selling his wares. He works very hard at his task, and believes that hard work - and a bit of luck - are the great equalizers between man and man, and between man and nature. He dislikes the aristocracy, believing them to be lazy and apathetic, and has a great deal of pity for the poor. Though he would never act against the law, he would assist anyone he felt were unjustly treated by it. He is also a pious man, and believes that true charity should come from the heart. His greatest goal in life is to garner enough wealth to become a philanthropist, giving away all his worldly possessions to the poor.

Combat / Skills:

Yolland has studied the art of selling with the best, and is a master of the wares in his shop. He has also learned a bit about the sword, though he would never fight with one in a city. He is also an excellent observer, and can tell a lot about someone upon first glance.
