Skald the Elder

 is the Jarl of Dawnstar. He is one of 3 Jarl's who openly and actively support the Stormcloaks and Jarl Ulfric.

Skald has a particular distaste for the Imperial Legion, and will often argue with citizens about them. In a random encounter by the Jarl's Longhouse entrance-he will dismiss a local for treasonous behavior for wearing his Imperial Legion armor. He went as far as threatning to execute the man, very similar to the Jarl of Riften's actions for disowning her own son for speaking out agaisnt Ulfric Stormcloak

Skald may give you a bounty quest, however, it seems that when you complete the quest and receive your reward the quest will remain active in your quest log. (Confirmed)
