Useful Info
Dowan, Brother of Duvessa is one of a pair of twin elf uniques that hunt through the Dungeon as a team and are always encountered together. Dowan is a mediocre magician, while his sister is a somewhat competent fighter; however, when either one is struck down, their sibling becomes significantly more dangerous. In Dowan's case, this means suddenly replacing his weak attack spells with much stronger ones and being automatically hasted as soon as he sees you.

Tips & Tricks
- Neither Dowan nor Duvessa will follow you up or down stairs unless their sibling is adjacent to you too (in which case they both will) or their sibling is dead.
- Dowan's upgraded spell list is very dangerous, but he has much less staying power than a berserk Duvessa.
- Consider wearing them both down before killing either one. The survivor will still be near death even after it becomes more powerful.
