Jahan is a Wizard in Divinity: Original Sin and Divinity: Original Sin 2.
Background[]
A handsome young king who was skilled with magic, Jahan fell in love with a beautiful woman. Due to her demonic dealings, he fell deathly ill and tried everything to cure himself, such as practicing necromancy in the hopes of living on in the likes of one of the creatures he created, which turned out to be a form worthy of pity, — he resorted to summoning a demon when all else failed. The demon, Balberith, told him that the woman he had so loved was also a demon like him and by making a deal with him, Jahan could keep his life. The compact would involve Jahan receiving a thousand years of life and having his health returned to him, but in exchange giving up his throne to the demon right then, as well as having to then spend an eternity in Nemesis, under this demon, after the thousand years were over. Jahan agreed, since there was seemingly no other option. Following this, he spent a period of time living amongst beasts.
By 4 AR Jahan had travelled the world for nearly 1,000 years; looking for a way to keep his soul and escape his fate of eternal torment; coming to loathe dark magic and demons. Jahan expressed regret over the deal he made as the window of opportunity to find this demon was closing. He finally found and defeated Balberith. Since the demon that was supposed to make his soul incarnate in the depths of Nemesis at the end of the 1,000 year period was killed, Jahan kept his immortality. Following Balberith's defeat he slipped into obscurity until 1242 AD when he was on hunt for the Advocate, who resides on Bloodmoon Island. This was in his new role as a demon hunter, the same one Lohse was advised to seek. Before he would attempt to exorcise the demon however, he asked Lohse to eliminate that demon's agent on the island and asked her to learn the demon's name after reporting this back to him.
After Lohse had eliminated the Advocate and uncovered her demon's name, Jahan attempted to exorcise it, however, the exorcism failed. Alongside the exorcism Jahan also offered to expand the Godwoken's Source powers (or alternatively enable them to summon their inner demon if they were already a source master) at the cost of the lives of his two demon prisoners, Mhordkan and Shain. Afterwards Jahan joins the Lady Vengeance crew and travelled with the Godwoken until they reached Arx.
After the Godwoken arrive in Arx he ventured off to confront Adramahlihk in the Black House. Unfortunately he was overpowered, imprisoned, and tortured. After the Godwoken saved him he returned to the Lady Vengeance in Hall of Echoes.

- "Immortality" here means the ability to not grow old with age, it does not mean being invincible.
