Du'an the Ephemeral

Du'an the Ephemeral (self-given title) is an aetherborn guild merchant currently residing in the city of Belshere. Du'an works as an agent and host at The Pit, where he helps arrange fights for entertainment. Little is known of Du'an outside of his role at The Pit, but he seems to generally be up to no good.

Appearance
Du'an is an aetherborn, and hence has a somewhat ghostly, smoky form. He does not have a nose or mouth, only a pair of glowing blue eyes, which are the only thing people can discern from under his hood. He has a narrow build, and wears a dark purple cloak with metallic pauldrons over a black, low-cut tunic.

History
Not much is known about Du'an outside of his role at The Pit. He does business throughout Belshere, dabbling in a couple different trades.

He is a warlock, though his exact patron is unknown. He has a pseudodragon familiar named Ratcatcher.

In-Game
Du'an serves as Jal's manager at The Pit. He and Jal prefer to do business without sharing any sort of personal information, but he does seem to know vague details about her personal life, including something about her interest in an unnamed bartender (though this may simply be an assumption that she is an alcoholic). The Omniventuring Co. first encounter him when they follow Jal there to watch her fight -- and wind up signing up to fight her.

The Omniventuring Co. impress Du'an -- who has seen some strange tactics in the ring -- with their abilities and strategies, particularly the summoning of various animals, climbing of the pillars, and fighting in the rafters.

After the fight, Du'an is privy to the conversation between Jal, the rest of the party, and the Lacuna Labs team and finds Jal's inability to lie about why she works at The Pit incredibly amusing. He shows interest in the Omniventuring Co.'s work for Lacuna Labs, perhaps in part due to his immediate interest in Omnias. He openly flirts with Omnias, which only serves to unnerve him.
