'''Yelroan''' is a [[Gnolls|Gnoll]] [Mathematician] of the [[Plain’s Eye Tribe]] and the administrator for the entire tribe.

==Appearance==
He has light yellow, blonde fur<ref name=":0" /> and a proper mane, dyed like ‘hair’. He wears light-reflecting spectacles and a full-body clothing like a City Gnoll’s attire, with long, dark leggings cut with white, and a flashy red jacket.<ref name=":8.30">[https://wanderinginn.com/2021/07/13/8-30/ Chapter 8.30]</ref> 

==Personality==

}}

A staunch [Mathematician], Yelroan has a great love for number and calculations. He is somewhat eccentric, often posing flashy clothing and screaming "''Math"'' at the top of his lungs while blinding everyone from the glare of his sunglasses. However, it is implied that his flamboyancy is a facade to make his career seem more interesting. Yelroan has a strong sense of morality, evident by him breaking free of Plain's Eye's fanatic discrimination against white Gnolls. He is also courageous, being willing to stand in the way of the Doomslayers against their [[Mrsha du Marquin|target]].<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2022/02/27/8-67/ Chapter 8.67]</ref> 

He is extremely clever and highly-organized. Thanks to his Skills, he was well-equipped to be in charge of Plain's Eye's - and later [[The Wandering Inn|The Wandering Inn's]] - bookkeeping.    

==Background==
Even when he was young, Yelroan could answer a math question that all the tribe's [Shamans] couldn't. This would be an indication of his future path. His mathematical abilities allowed him effectively became the administrator for the whole tribe and moved to the central camp. However, he lacked respect for his work, and could not convince anyone to become his apprentice.<ref name=":8.30" />

==Chronology==

===Volume 8===
During the [[Meeting of the Tribes]], Yelroan tried to attract prospective apprentices with his flashy style, but failed to garner any interest. He reunited with [[Merish]], catching up, and was introduced to [[Viri Taxshirul|Viri]]. They walked about in the camps, though Yelroan had been banned from several booths after using his calculation abilities to win the biggest prizes.<ref name=":8.30" />

After the deaths of the first Doomslayer squad, Chieftain [[Xherw]] brought in Yelroan to help determine the location of the [[Wer|two]] [[Mrsha|Doombringers]], to aid a new party of Doomslayers which Merish was leading.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2021/07/18/8-31/ Chapter 8.31]</ref> Yelroan succeeded in narrowing down their location, which let the Doomslayers catch up to the Doombringers.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2021/08/22/8-38-h/ Chapter 8.38 H]</ref>

Later, [[Gireulashia Ekhtouch|Gire]] snuck into his tent and left the word 'sin' with a series of numbers on his chalkboard in the hopes that he could make sense of what a sine is.

Chieftain Xherw visited him suspecting that there was a Doombringer at the Meeting of the Tribes. He tasked Yelroan with finding them and told him to investigate [[Qwera]] specifically. Yelroan did so and had some suspicions that she was indeed a white Gnoll when he spotted Mri, and immediately identified her as Mrsha. He hesitated to report what he found and get a child killed, so he kept his discoveries to himself. 

At the Meeting of Chieftains, he helped create the Combination Skill [The World of You and Me]. He was thrilled by the mathematic works of Earth.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/interlude-satar-revised/ Interlude - Satar (Revised)]</ref>

When Merish returned, they had a fight about the possibility that Doombringers weren't evil.<ref name=":1">[https://wanderinginn.com/2022/02/23/8-66/ Chapter 8.66]</ref> While Mrsha was reuniting with the other [[Stone Spears Tribe|Stone Spears]] children in the [[Gaarh Marsh Tribe|Gaarh Marsh]] camp, Yelroan was there and obstructed the shots of Doomslayers. He tried to convince Merish not to attack Mrsha, urging him to rethink what the tribe says about Doombringers.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2022/02/27/8-67/ Chapter 8.67]</ref>

After Mrsha was publicly revealed, Yelroan went back to the Plain's Eye camp to search for the truth and convinced Merish to help him. They confronted Xherw with proof of his complicity with the [[Drakes]], such as preferential treatment from the [[Walled Cities]] and yearly payments from [[Fissival]].<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2022/04/13/8-79/ Chapter 8.79]</ref>

===Volume 9 ===
Yelroan was the only Plain's Eye Gnoll to have kept his original fur color after the end of the [[Meeting of the Tribes]]. He was doing administrative work for the remnants of Plain's Eye and for the other tribes. He advised Mrsha on how to turn a profit with the [[Magical Door]], and was offered a job in [[Liscor]], which Merish urged him to pursue.<ref name=":0">[https://wanderinginn.com/2022/07/17/9-07/ Chapter 9.07]</ref> He did eventually agree and made his way north to [[The Wandering Inn]]. On the way, he was found by [[Magnolia Reinhart]] who offered him a ride and helped bring him to their mutual destination quicker.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2022/12/14/9-28/ Chapter 9.28]</ref> When Yelroan did get to the inn, he brought out some cargo that he had been carrying which included many letters from those at the Gnoll Plains and the suit of [[Demas Metal]] armor custom-made for [[Normen Callesn|Normen]].<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2022/12/18/9-29/ Chapter 9.29]</ref>

==Quotes==

* [https://wanderinginn.com/2021/07/13/8-30/ To] [[Merish]]:
**“Merish! Do you like it? I tried to do something and it ''almost'' works. They stare at me.”
**“I ''am'' honest. ''Math is amazing!''”
**“Because I’m good at ''numbers,'' Merish. Not scribing. Not managing. Numbers. I’m fairly good at managing things. Math is my talent, though. You see?”
**“[[Quiteil|He]] offered me a position. Quite well-paid. I said no. I’m a Plains Gnoll in the end. A member of the tribe. Even if…well.”
**“Merish. I can calculate ''anything.''”
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2021/07/18/8-31/ To] [[Xherw]]) “Heh. You can fool magic and Skills, but not ''numbers'', Chieftain Xherw.”
*([https://wanderinginn.com/interlude-satar-revised/ To himself]) “What in the name of logarithms…?”
