Heodan

 is a merchant and possible temporary companion in.

He's a member of the same caravan the protagonist is traveling with, and will be met during their rest at the Encampment.

Background
A trader from the Aedyr Empire, Heodan left home to expand his family's mercantile enterprise, which had been taken over by his brothers. He decided for the Dyrwood, as being a former colony of his homeland, and chose the caravan of Odema to start with his efforts. Though he is the only one of his family who had to leave to build an existence, he doesn't see himself in a disadvantage, and in his eyes all the siblings are working together for business's sake.

Challenged by life on the road in a larger way than he expected, and constantly remembered by the "prickly locals" of the Dyrwood's independency from the Aedyr, the simply but neatly clothed rogue's trying to make the most of things by selling basic traveling supplies to the caravanners.

Other interactions

 * Mentioned by Odema as the one who might be able to equip someone before they head out, Heodan will likely be the first person in the game, the protagonist has an extensive dialogue with – after the introduction from Odema. This talk will also be the first opportunity to make steps into characterization, in building a disposition. Depending on dialogue choices, a minor shift is possible for clever, cruel or passionate and for diplomatic or rational.
 * Heodan then acts as a merchant in the encampment; see Heodan's Supplies below for a list of items, he's selling.
 * Due to events during a Moment's Respite, his services become unavailable when a certain waterskin gets examined. These events may or may not lead to Heodan's death. In the latter case, he will become a temporary companion for the protagonist's escape through the Ruins of Cilant Lîs, but no further. See the respective quest articles for detailed information.

Heodan's Supplies
Prior to the return to camp with water during a Moment's Respite, Heodan sells a variety of basic items from the back of his wagon. After those events, however, his services as a merchant will no longer be available.

Heodan buys at a rate of 375% of the regular item value, rounded down, and he sells for double this value, rounded up.
