Appearance and Character
A big man,[5] Ollo wraps the stump of his missing hand in leather.[5] Chett thinks the Tyroshi dialect of High Valyrian spoken by Ollo is a wet, girly tongue.[3]
Ollo is not remorseful about his crimes.[3]
History
Ollo is from Tyrosh. He lost a hand after being caught for thievery and was sent to the Wall after being found abed with a knight's wife.[3]
Recent Events
A Storm of Swords
Ollo Lophand is part of the great ranging, the force that leaves Castle Black in search of the wildlings. He is one of the conspirators who intend to kill Jeor Mormont, Lord Commander of the Night's Watch, at the Fist of the First Men. If the conspiracy is successful, he plans to return to Tyrosh. Their scheme is interrupted when wights attack the Fist, however.[3]
Ollo survives the fight at the Fist and is among the men who make it back to Craster's Keep. He and Tim Stone feed and water the surviving horses, and he thinks that Craster is hoarding food. Garth of Greenaway and Ollo wield blades and prevent Jeor from interceding during the mutiny at Craster's Keep. When Jeor reaches for his own dagger, Ollo stabs Jeor, mortally wounding the Lord Commander. Ollo then rapes one of Craster's wives[6] and searches the walls for food.[2]
A Feast for Crows
Ollo remains at Craster's Keep after the betrayal, along with eight other former members of the Night's Watch.[7]
A Dance with Dragons
While escorting Bran Stark and his friends toward the cave of the three-eyed crow, Coldhands detects the presence of men in the haunted forest; the ranger hunts them down and kills them with his ravens. Summer, Bran's direwolf, then finds five black-clad bodies in the forest; the largest of them has a missing hand and a slashed throat. Summer eats from the body's neck. Bran wakes from his skinchanging to find that Coldhands has returned with meat, claiming he found a sow.[5]

Quotes about Ollo
Ollo Lophand now, he was talking about sailing back to Tyrosh, where he claimed men didn't lose their hands for a bit of honest thievery, nor get sent off to freeze their life away for being found in bed with some knight's wife.[8]
— thoughts of Chett
Aemon: Jon ... it grieves me to say, but Lord Commander Mormont was murdered at Craster's Keep, at the hands of his Sworn Brothers.
Jon: Bro ... our own men? Who was it? Who turned on him?
Aemon: Garth of Oldtown, Ollo Lophand, Dirk ... thieves, cowards and killers, the lot of them.[2]
He went from man to man, sniffing, before settling on the biggest, a faceless thing who clutched black iron in one hand. His other hand was missing, severed at the wrist, the stump bound up in leather. Blood flowed thick and sluggish from the slash across his throat. The wolf lapped at it with his tongue, licked the ragged eyeless ruin of his nose and cheeks, then buried his muzzle in his neck and tore it open, gulping down a gobbet of sweet meat. No flesh had ever tasted half as good.[5]
