Helvard

Helvard is a Nord in who lives in the Jarl's Longhouse in Falkreath. He serves Jarl Siddgeir as his housecarl.

Quests
Helvard is the target of the Dark Brotherhood quest Contract: Kill Helvard.

Bugs
If Siddgeir's Housecarl Helvard is dead before purchasing the Lakeview Manor plot of land in the Hearthfire DLC, this action will "cancel" out the chance to buy the deed from him or Nenya, even if the player is Thane. There is no current fix for this issue and the player will have to settle for the other two houses in Hearthfire. Making the Land Baron & Master Architect achievements impossible to attain. Do not complete the Dark Brotherhood quest Contract: Kill Helvard, if you intend to purchase the Hearthfire DLC.
 * On PC, this can be worked around by changing the relationship rank of Nenya to 3 using "player.setrelationshiprank 19823 4". If it doesn't work, try using "player.setrelationship 19822 2" (Jarl) and "resurrect 1" on Helvard.

Either Helvard is violently racist, or he has a chance to become extremely hostile towards the player, attacking him or her on sight. This is problematic, as the moment he lands a blow, the Jarl's entire household will assault the player. The guards will also join in the fight.
