BiographyEdit
Like most gnomes, he is very eccentric, and loves to ramble on with stories that never get to the point. He wants to steal Boo from Minsc, and it is likely if he ever succeeded, he wouldn't live long afterwards. Jan can be found in the Government District peddling his wares, which in actuality are dangerous weapons in their own right. An expert in crossbows, Jan is capable of fashioning his own unique ammunition. His own weapon, a special crossbow entitled the "Master Flasher Bruiser" is, according to the item description, so complicated that only he can use it. Jan is the most proficient thief the party can get a hold of after Yoshimo.
Quotes Edit
"Take that, turnip-hatin' scum!"
"You know, this reminds me of that time, waaaaay back..."
"Beware! Your knees are mine!"
"Whoa! This place looks just like... it reminds me of.. this is just like that time I... hmm. I don't think anything like this has ever happened to me before..."
"I think we make a fine partnership, like Drizzt and Wulfgar, Elminster and Volo. Heh, we should go into the mobile vegetable peddling business together!"
"It will be done with skill and care, if not brevity."
