Yan

Yan is a minor character in Horizon Zero Dawn.

History[]

Yan grew up in Mother's Rise with his sister Nakoa and their father. During one of these raids, their father was killed by the infamous captain Zaid. While Yan despised Zaid for his crimes, his hatred paled in comparison to Nakoa, who watched their father's death from the cellar. Upon learning that Zaid had evaded punishment, Nakoa left the Sacred Lands to kill him herself, despite Yan's protests.^[1]

"Where will you begin?"

The exact order of events listed below is unclear as A Daughter's Vengeance and The Heart of the Nora can be completed in any order, with no confirmed canon order. For the sake of simplicity, the events of these quests are listed in order of level.

While passing through Mother's Rise, the Nora Seeker Aloy found Yan praying to All-Mother. Yan begged her to look for Nakoa: while he knew that Nakoa would be exiled for leaving the Sacred Lands, he needed to at least know of her fate. To Yan's relief, Aloy agreed to keep an eye out for Nakoa. Before they parted, Yan advised that she visit his aunt Solai in Mother's Crown, for information regarding Nakoa.^[2]

After escaping from Zaid's clutches and killing him, Nakoa sent word to Solai (which was passed onto Yan) of both hers and Zaid's fate.^{[citation needed]}

The Heart of the Nora (HZDR; 120) — Yan watching Aloy enter ELEUTHIA-9.^[3]

During the Eclipse invasion of the Sacred Lands, Yan was among the Nora that took shelter within All-Mother Mountain, appearing to have been injured at some point. He saw Aloy enter ELEUTHIA-9 as he was helped to his feet by Fia.^[3]
