I've finally gotten around to _Gentleman Jole and the Red Queen_.
 
Oliver Jole appears to have had a long involvement with Aral and
Cordelia. I remember none of it. Was he on-screen in any of the
early books?
 

 
According to The Vorkosigan Companion[1], Jole (no first name listed) is
in The Vor Game: "A lieutenant in the  Barrayaran military, he is Aral
Vorkosigan's aide-de-camp during the Vervain cobflict. Blond,
good-looking, and brilliant, he was commended for quick thinking durong
a shipboard accident, and came to Aral's attention soon after. He
accompanies Aral in the Prince Serg when they arrive at Vervain."

[1] My edition was published before Cryoburn, Captain Vorpatril's
Alliance, and Gentleman Jole and the Red Queen came out. I don't
know/recall if Jole is mentioned in Cryoburn or Captain Vorpatril's
Alliance.

He is mentioned in _Cryoburn_, in the 5th drabble in the Aftermaths
section. He, actually his sailboat, is mentioned in the epilogue of
_Captain Vorpatril's Alliance_ (which takes place before _Cryoburn_,
though published later).
