Harlan

Harlan the Melee instructor is one of the Combat instructors available to help out new players. He can be found in Lumbridge in the building north of the general store. As the master of Defence, he sells Defence cape and hood for 99,000 coins to members who have achieved level 99 in Defence. Harlan is one of the few skillcape sellers who can be found outside a guild.

He wields an alternate version of the training shield. Most of his outfit can be imitated by male players by wearing the Defence cape, flared trousers (blue), training sword and shield, climbing boots, and the same hairstyle. Due to the Castle Wars update on May 27, 2010, there is no way to imitate his chest.

He used to give new players a training sword and a training shield to those who asked for it, but this feature was removed on 17 September 2009. Beefy Bill now sells the Training equipment.

Trivia

 * He is the first and only male instructor in the training room of combat.
 * He used to give high amounts of gold for a job done.
 * He is now the only skillcape seller in Lumbridge since Wilfred, the master of Woodcutting, moved to the woodland north of Falador.
 * He seems to be wearing some sort of white plate body with no sleeves and a gold trim in the middle of the platebody. The Plate body looks a lot like the ones Spanish Soldiers used to wear in the 1500's.
 * He seems to be wielding a Pre-HD Training Sword.
