I do roleplay Yvelont's association with the Yellow Serpents, but I see his role as a foreigner and an "adventurer" very differently. My view is more along the lines of Liadan's: the adventurers that help make up the bulk of Yellow Serpents, Foreign Levy, et al are more akin to organized militia, with commissioned officers in charge of them, and perhaps a number of contracted specialists. Yvelont would be one of the latter.
He does hold the rank of Serpent Sergeant, but tends to act alone or with other adventurers he trusts, who may or may not be Serpents themselves - so frankly, the question of "who is in charge" has yet to come up. If it did, though, I don't think it would be an issue. Because frankly, though he would take charge of the situation as needed, I as a player would much rather play out the sharing of ideas and collaborating to execute them than bark out orders. Perhaps that's just Yve's "neutral/chaotic good" outlook bleeding through to the player.
Edit: Aaaaand I just saw your disclaimer about everything stated above not applying to the adventurer units. Knew I should've had more than one cup of coffee this morning. We are on the same page here!
