Ryland in Heroes Chronicles

Increases the Attack and Defence skills of any Dendroid Guards or Soldiers for each level attained after 5th level.

Ryland was the first (and to date, the only) human ever fully accepted by the Circle of Elder Dendroids as a Ranger of AvLee. Some joke that he was once an Elf, but that he was killed and accidentally reincarnated into a human's body.
