Yokel is a member of the Ruffler's gang. He used to be a prosperous farmer, but he lost his lands when they were taken over for the raising of sheep. Yokel's mother was burned at the stake as a witch, and his family became beggars. When his family members died or became lost, Yokel was sold as a slave. Edward restored Yokel to a comfortable living after he ascended the throne.
