BG2 NPC Sneak Peaks.
[Jan Jansen's portrait is that of a wild looking gnome who has spent much of his time in tunnels blasted by the very winds. His hair is a wall, sticking straight upward in its black hue illuminated by light streaks of grey and white. A snake like head band made of jewels and other oddities rests above his brow. His ears are filled with rings and sports a short beard.]
Jan Jansen
Gnome Rouge/Wizard
"Jan Jansen's past is lost in a mire of tall tales, each more rambling than the last. He is certainly well traveled and, as hard to swallow as they may seem, many of his anecdotes are simply too strange to be fiction. No one could have the audacity to fabricate such yarns and still expect people to trust that they happened.
Common elements in Jan's stories indicate that he is originally from Athkatla, where his immediate family maintains a home. If his account is to be believed, and he insists that it is, he also appears to have relatives in just about every city on the coast, perhaps all the way to Neverwinter.
Jan is a brilliant tinker, and the gadgets he has produced for his own personal use simply defy description. Even other gnomes have to admit that they have rarely seen such innovative intricacy, or lunacy. Jan may have learned his skills while in the employ of a wizard called Golodon the Unmanned, although indications point to the relationship being a cold one. Their association apparently ended in the death of the mage, although once more the details may be lost in Jan's embellishment of the events.
Jan currently makes a living in the family trade, following a proud tradition of turnip mongers, though he is quick to answer almost any call to adventure. Indeed, many of his tales seem to have been spurred by the search for some lost gem or the jab of someone's sword."
