Skulvar Sable-Hilt

 is a Nord stable master. He works at the Whiterun Stables outside of Whiterun.

Background
Skulvar sells horses at the Whiterun Stables for Lillith Maiden-Loom, the owner. He believes his son, Jervar, is not smart enough to be a stable master like him.

Hired Thugs
If the Dragonborn kills Jervar he will send Hired Thug after them.

Trivia

 * There are reports of getting a letter from Skulvar Sable-Hilt, after going on a killing spree in Whiterun. In one confirmed case, the Dragonborn killed the two stuck Alik'r warriors just inside the gates of Whiterun in broad daylight, and paid the guards off using their Thieves Guild connections. Later in Markarth a courier delivered a letter asking to "call on him" when the Dragonborn is in Whiterun. Attacking and feeding on certain characters will also lead to receiving the letter. After receiving the letter, the Dragonborn must first drop the letter and read it again to receive the quest to go attack Jervar, killing him is not necessary. After that, they will reveive 50 gold from Skulvar.
 * He claims that the horse he sells to the Dragonborn is named "Queen Alsigr or Allie for short".
 * If the Dragonborn successfully or fails to sneak on him he will start a conversation and give them a sword.

Bugs

 * Often when killing him, a bounty will be added to the Rift hold.
 * The quest objective will be not removed from journal after returning to Skulvar to report success in the 'beat up Jervar' side quest.
