"Divided, we may be weak - but united, victory will be ours!"

—Nevan, in Gallows Moor (DS, Cell phone)

Nevan is a character in the Dragon Quest series that appears as a playable party member in Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Revelation. He is a priest from the village of Ghent who needed divine intervention from the Goddess herself before he would ally with the heroes against Murdaw.

Appearance and personality[edit]

Nevan wears a saffron robe with a magenta sash, a teal traveling bag, and sports humorously thick-rimmed glasses. He is usually seen wielding either a pole with a ball-and-chain flail attached or the Staff of Ghent. He is the prodigy of Ghent, and considers himself to be more learned than whole of the settlement. This ego issue is his greatest vice, but at his heart he is a good lad whose piety cannot be questioned.

Unsurprisingly for someone raised in such a controlled environment as a religious settlement, Nevan is ignorant to the world around him; party chat shows him either being astonished, repulsed, or perplexed by even common daily events in village life. His journey with the heroes does wonders to broaden his horizons though, and in particular he becomes fond of Carver.
