Olyvar

Played by	Will Tudor
TV series	Season 3 | Season 4 | Season 5

Olyver is a prostitute and a spy specializing in homosexual relations, in the employ of Petyr "Littlefinger" Baelish. The character was created specifically for the TV series and is played by Will Tudor. He assumes part of Dontos Hollard's storyline in A Storm of Swords, on obtaining information about the planned wedding of Loral Tyrell and Sansa Stark—not from Sansa, as it happens in the books, but from Loras. He has also been referred to as "Olyvar".

Game of Thrones

Season Three

Olyver poses as Loras Tyrell's squire during a sparring match. He makes flirtatious advances toward Loras and the two later have sex. Olyver discovers that Loras is due to be married, and relays this information to Littlefinger shortly thereafter. Olyver implies that noblemen in Loras' position make up the bulk of his clientele.

Season Four

Olyver has been left in charge of Littlefinger's brothels, presumably replacing Ros. When Oberyn Martell and Ellaria Sand arrive to King's Landing, they attend the brothel, with Olyver showing three prostitutes to the couple. After Ellaria chooses one and dismisses the other two, Oberyn turns his attentions to Olyver, who protests that he's not on offer before giving in and admitting he's just "wildly expensive". Oberyn asks if Olyver has ever been with a prince before and orders him to remove his clothes, grabbing him by the crotch. However, they are interrupted when Oberyn overhears a pair of Lannister men singing "The Rains of Castamere".

Olyver later takes part in a small orgy involving Oberyn and Ellaria. When the latter attempts to "share" him with Oberyn, Olyver politely refuses her, claiming to have "not acquired the taste" for women. He then presses Oberyn to divulge his own preference. The Prince, however, explains his rather fluid approach to sexuality, a common trait among the Dornish. Olyver and the other prostitutes depart when Tywin Lannister unexpectedly arrives to speak with Oberyn.

Season Five

Olyver continues to see Loras on a regular basis, though it's unclear if their arrangement is personal or professional. Around the time of Tywin Lannister's funeral, Olyver is cuddling with Loras Tyrell post coitus, discussing the possibility of visiting Dorne or anywhere far away from King's Landing, when Margaery walks in. Staring down Olyver, she admonishes Loras for making them late for supper with King Tommen, and tells Olyver to leave.

Olyver later plays the role of the Father with a fake beard when the High Septon visits the brothel, while a collection of female prostitutes play the rest of the Seven. He breaks character to make a snide remark about the High Septon's choice, and to remind him that two prostitutes will cost him extra. Moments later, the brothel is attacked by Sparrows, led by Lancel Lannister, who seize the High Septon. Olyver attempts to tell them that they will have to answer to Baelish, but they strike him across the face and remove his fake beard.

Olyver is present when the brothel is attacked again by the Sparrows, this time having formed into the Faith Militant with Cersei Lannister's permission. Again, he is struck when he tells them they will have to answer to Baelish, but this time, the Faith Militant have targeted the brothel's homosexual patrons and prostitutes who have been caught in the act. Since Olyver is fully clothed, he is not suspected of homosexuality, and is able to flee the brothel when he sees the Sparrows murder both the homosexual patron and the prostitute.
