==Useful Info==
'''Dowan, Brother of [[Duvessa]]''' is one of a pair of twin [[elf]] [[unique]]s that hunt through the [[Dungeon]] as a team, always encountered together. On their own, Dowan is a mediocre magician, while his sister is a somewhat competent fighter. Together, they are no joke, and killing one will buff the other.

When Duvessa is killed, Dowan improves his spell set and gains a permanent [[haste]] effect.

==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. However, you can drop one of them down a shaft without the other being able to follow.
*Consider wearing them both down before killing either one. The survivor will still be near death even after they become more powerful.
*Dowan's upgraded spell list is very dangerous, but he has much less staying power than a berserk Duvessa. 
**If you have the choice, it's nice to have [[cold resistance]] (to lower Throw Icicle's damage) if you want to kill Duvessa first.
**Unlike berserk, Dowan's haste can be removed (permanently) by a [[wand of quicksilver]]. 

==History==
*Prior to [[0.28]], Dowan's haste was not permanent, but he had the [[Haste]] spell. An enraged Dowan would immediately be hasted on sight, but it could wear out (forcing the spell to be cast again).
