Vahn

Vahn was a human arcane archer and one of a trio of adventurers who arrived in Baldur's Gate as the Dark Alliance was rising to threaten the city.

War against Xantam
After being attacked by the thief Karne, Vahn paired up with Adrianna, a moon elf, and Kromlech a Shield Dwarf of the Sunset Mountains to get his gold back. The trio took down the thieves guild and killed Karne, Karne however had faked his death. The trio then fought against the guild leader, the Beholder, Xantam. Xantam came to Baldur's Gate through a shadow gate which led to the Sunset Mountains.

The Fight against Eldrith the Betrayer
Vahn 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 after passing through the final shadow gate.

The War against the Vampires
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. Vahn was then given his bow and arrows from a sarcophagus. He then joined the battle against Mordoc in the Keep of Pale Night and against Mordoc's servants in Baldur's Gate. To this day, Vahn is remembered as a hero of Baldur's Gate.

Abilities
As an arcane archer, Vahn combines the arts of archery and arcane 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.
