History
Joven had a great reputation throughout the Homelands. A master thief and excellent cat burglar, he could talk his way out of tight situations. Joven earned a reputation for fear amongst merchants and respect amongst the other rogues and thieves of the Homelands. He was best known for stealing jewelry and other valuables and fencing them off to others for little profit. Numerous public and private groups hunted him, though Joven was cautious not to offend or steal from anyone who might have the money or resources to catch him.
Nevertheless, Joven and his partner in crime Chandler tricked Eron the Relentless into giving them his prized Ebony Rhino. Adding this to the fact that Eron and Joven had several disagreements in the past, it was no surprise that Eron swore that if he ever caught Joven on his side of Strongrock, his death would be more legendary than his deeds. This, however, did not keep Joven from sneaking into Koskun Keep, but it did keep him well aware of the dangers he faced when he walked the passages beneath the Koskun Mountains.
Joven was helped in his thefts by his well-trained ferrets, who were skilled at climbing buildings or providing a distraction while their master escaped in another direction. These mischievous creatures, which were Joven's trademark, had years of training and understood basic hand signals, like sit, beg, run, and climb. Joven also used many tools acquired along his travels in the Homelands: they were a utility belt of rope, picks, and other thieves' tools, but all were extremely high quality, and some were of magical origin.
Given that hundreds of years have passed since his natural lifetime, it is likely that Joven is long dead.
