Vahn

Vahn is a human, male Arcane Archer and one of three immediately playable characters in Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance.

Adventuring Career
Vahn was one of the trio of adventurers who arrived in Baldur's Gate as the Dark Alliance was rising to threaten the city. He was recruited into the Harpers and quested in Baldur's Gate, the Sunset Mountains and the Marsh of Chelimber. The trio's journey eventually led them to the Onyx Tower and a climactic battle with Eldrith the Betrayer, thus saving Baldur's Gate temporarily. However it transpired that Eldrith's designs against the city had only been part of a larger plot, a fact brought home to Vahn and his companions when they escaped the crumbling tower only to fall into the hands of Mordoc SeLanmere. They were imprisoned in the Keep of Pale Night and interrogated by Mordoc's servant Xanhast. Mordoc decided not to kill them however and they survived in imprisonment until another group of adventurers broke into the keep and gained an opportunity to rescue Vahn and the others.

Abilities
As an Arcane Archer Vahn combines the arts of archery and magic. The abilities he can unlock include numerous kinds of magic arrows and other things that aid his profession, such as a repulsion spell to keep enemies at range and a means to reduce the weight of arrows in his inventory. Overall Vahn constitutes a balance between Adrianna's focus on spells and Kromlech's focus on arms and armour.
