'''Nevan''' is a character in the {{DQSeries}} that appears as a playable party member in {{DQ6}}. 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==
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]].
