Hint #1: spoiler[he's leaving on a horse notably inferior to the one upon which he arrived].

Hint #2: spoiler[It's a win-win-win nonetheless: he gets the equivalent of a prince's ransom; the main character gets a fine horse and a diversion to help her elude the authorities; and some 30 potential slaves get to walk home free.]

Well, the character is from spoiler[Seirei no Moribito], but I'm having some trouble finding his name. Wikipedia seems to have him listed as spoiler[The Blue Hand], but rewatching some of the anime it seems like that was used for the name of his business. It wasn't clear to me from the anime that he actually goes by that name himself. It looks like he is credited in the anime as spoiler[Casual Kimono], which is what ANN's encyclopedia has for him, but that just seems like a way of listing him in the credits since he wasn't named. Anyway, hopefully that's a sufficient explanation of who he is.

There's a picture of him on MAL where he's named spoiler[Kinagashi]. Translated into English that becomes spoiler[Casual Kimono] (and thus the name used by ANN), which spoiler[describes how he wears his kimono without a hakama or, more generally, how he dresses casually]. That would have been my next clue. You're right: no one mentions his name in the episode so I suspect ANN & MAL are referencing the original novel. I'm happy to accept a description.

Your turn, Calathan.

I don't think spoiler[Kinagashi] is actually his name though, but still just a way of listing him in the credits. The spoiler[Moribito] wiki says he is an anime-original character.

Anyway, here is the next character:
