First Age during the Early Councils, after the liberation of DH from
their nomad overlords but before the withdrawal from the Council of the
trolls, dragonewts, and Heortlings.  This gives about a 50 year period
to which to find your target.

In the Second Age, one of the DH emperors wandered off into EWF ala
Gilgamesh, came back as a full Dragon, and retook his throne, joining
DH into EWF.  Since the EWF was largely Heortling (by populace, at
least), a supporter of the Dragon Sun emperor would also meet your
requirements.  Again, though, just a short window of time.

Finally, in Prehistory, surely *someone* supported Rebellious Terminus
when he killed Emperor Muz***harm (however it is spelled), and caused
Yelm to split apart.  While most Dara Happans would consider such
persons to be traitors, some long hidden group might remember him
fondly.

In none of these cases would usual Dara Happans look fondly on the
proposed guardian.  OTOH, perhaps he is being "paroled" from Hell
because of Danfive Xaron intervention, post-death conversion by the
Goddess Herself, whatever excuse you want.  I do not think that an
orthodox Yelmist would accept such, but a Lunarized one might.
