Jean Villom was the owner of the Vyones Tavern.
History
Jean Villom was tending bar when his daughter, Nicolette, approached him expressing concern with how Gerome Mazzal and Guillaume Maspier were bullying their frequent patron, Blaise Reynard. Later that evening when the two men were murdered by "a beast", Villom cooperated with Raoul Coupain to assemble a hunting party when the Stone Golem, Satyre, invaded his tavern and - despite Villom's best efforts - abducted Nicolette.
The following morning, following the deaths and carnage, Villom looked solemnly at Raoul. ("For Not Everything With Wings...")
