“There is much to do and little enough time.”

–Olvan in the Spirit Animals Game


Olvan is the commander of the Greencloaks. His spirit animal is a moose, and he is known to have a very loud, booming voice, and has a rather large addiction to coffee (especially Niloan coffee, as seen in the Spirit Animals Game). Lenori describes him as blustery and thinks he often forgets to take care of the Greencloaks well-being.

“Where is Keith with my blasted coffee? Oh Keeper! Here are the current available quests!”

–Olvan in the Spirit Animals Game

He is also seen as good friends with Lenori and Keith.

Appearance[]

Olvan is a tall, muscular man. He has black hair, a dark brown beard, and a broad chest. He wears a mail shirt under his forest-green cloak.

In the Books[]

Wild Born[]

Olvan’s first appearance was when he rode in with his moose and saved Rollan from Zerif. He then explains the Greencloak’s mission to the Four.

Rise and Fall[]

Olvan gave a speech at Tarik’s funeral, and helped in the fight with Shane.

The Evertree[]

Olvan makes a plan for the Greencloaks to charge Stetriol. He leads the larger group to distract the Conquerors.

Immortal Guardians[]

Shortly before this book, Olvan goes to visit Lenori at the Evertree. He travels with Conor, Meilin, Takoda, and Kovo to the Petral Mountains. When the entrance to Sadre collapses, Olvan travels back to Greenhaven to wait for Rollan and Abeke.

Broken Ground[]

Olvan is the one to inform Abeke and Rollan about Meilin and Conor. He sends Abeke and Rollan to Stetriol. He sends a letter to Abeke, letting her know that Meilin and Conor are safe under the Evertree. Olvan becomes infected and sides with Zerif after Zerif slips a Wyrm parasite under Olvan’s door.

The Return[]

Olvan is seen when the infected storm Zourtzi, he attacks the escaping Rollan, Tasha, Abeke, and Kirat riding his moose to kill them but is stopped by Abeke who shoots an arrow at his shoulder refusing to kill him although he falls he did not get up.

Heart of the Land[]

Olvan gets bitten by a stone viper, which petrifies him. He is given just enough of the antidote by Oathbounds to blink, breathe, and stay living.

In the Game[]

In the game, Olvan had you brought to Greenhaven, since Lenori had foreseen you summoning a spirit animal. Once you meet him, Olvan welcomes you and tells you about Lenori's vision. Lenori tells you to drink the Nectar from the flask in which you oblige. After you drink it, you choose your spirit animal. If you chose one of the four original spirit animals (Fox, Tiger, Komodo Dragon, or Emperor Penguin), Olvan would have an extra line of dialogue, but Olvan congratulates you on your new bond regardless of which you choose.

After you pick your spirit animal, Bile-affected animals appear. Olvan is shocked that the Conquerors' influence has reached so far, but he then instructs you to free the first animal using your weapon. After the tutorial, you're quickly taken to Greenhaven castle, as Olvan believes it's safer.

Olvan is in charge of the Heroic Quests and Erdas Quests, so you must speak to him in the courtyard to receive them.

Olvan is one of three Erdas quest distributors, meaning he is the one who sends you on the quest and you will receive the first and second lines of quest dialogue from him. Olvan is also one of the four Sadre Quest distributors.
