Jan Jansen

Jan Jansen was a gnome inventor, illusionist, and dishonest businessman in Athkatla.

Activities
Jan could be found in the Government District Athkatla, peddling his wares, which in actuality were dangerous weapons in their own right.

Personality
Like most gnomes, he was very eccentric, and loved to ramble on with stories that never got to the point. He had a habit of telling bizarre stories about his supposed relatives, turnips and the like at the drop of a hat. He often referred to his several uncles: Eichenwacher, Gerhardt, Hegemony, Salebottom, Scatchy and Spanky.

He liked to use his own inventions on adventures, and to sell them even though they might be illegal.

He wanted to steal Boo from Minsc, and it was likely if he ever succeeded, he wouldn't live long afterwards.

Abilities
An expert in crossbows, Jan was capable of fashioning his own unique ammunition. His own weapon, a special crossbow entitled "Flasher Launcher" was so complicated that only he could use it. Jan was also a proficient thief.

Background
Jan is one of the party NPCs in Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn, voiced by Jack Roth.
