Plausible runners up with like, an upgraded snowman's chance in hell: hadlar. He sure does have a lot of interactions and feelings with both Popp and also Avan from prequel to death!
Hyunkel would also be a fun option for, like, throwing himself into questing to distract himself from having his adoption recontextualized with the realization of just how young Avan was when it happened
He never thought about it before because he was six and preoccupied with thoughts of dark vengeance but yeah, Avan was only sixteen at the time, what the fuck!!!
