Jod

 is a character in Skyrim. He is the Housecarl to Skald the Elder in Dawnstar and also serves as the head of the guard.

If you have finished the civil war quest line for the Imperials he will appear in The Palace of the Kings.

He was an Imperial Legionaire who fought in the Great War against the Thalmor, and seems to respect the Legion and it's warriors, unlike Skald the Elder, his lord.
