Template:Character Dovin Baan is a vedalken planeswalker from the the plane of Kaladesh.[1]
Description
Dovin Baan is tall, thin and always impeccably dressed. His suit is partially encased in whorls and filigrees of brass, bits of which hiss and tick faintly as he moves. Baan has an innate talent, heightened by magic, that allows him to clearly see the flaws in any system or machine. After mere moments of scrutiny, Dovin can provide a complete analysis, noting a particular machine's weaknesses, highlighting its shortcomings, and predicting with startling accuracy exactly how and when it will fail.[2]
History
Dovin Baan is the Minister of Inspections of the Consulate of Kaladesh. His admirable success made him serve as senior inspector of the Inventors' Fair.
When he came up against an unexpected and unpredictable renegade threat, he requested the aid of the Gatewatch. The Gatewatch had to refuse their help, because they considered his problems an internal affair. However, his visit alerted Chandra Nalaar of the going ons on her plane of birth, and she planeswalked to Kaladesh with Liliana Vess. [3] Baan quickly returned to Kaladesh, Nissa in tow. He arrived next to Tezzeret, when he was about to arrest Renegade Prime. Recognizing Chandra in the crowd, he ordered gearhulks to be brought in position to keep them away. Renegade Prime, however, relented and let herself be taken into custody. Baan appeared to be relieved by that.[4]
During Tezzeret's coup, Dovin Baan hesitantly cooperated, although he disliked the draconian manner in which the inventions were taken from the inventors. Tezzeret assured him that this was solely done for protecting the inventions, since he expected a major Renegade retaliation, and to develop them further in order to usher in a new era of innovation. Tezzeret then revealed that he intended to make Dovin the head of the institution that would manufacture these new, streamlined inventions and make them public among the population of Kaladesh. In exchange, Tezzeret demanded that Dovin Baan would take care of the Gatewatch, since it was due to his invitation that they were here. Baan immediately went to assembling a group of elite soldiers, intending to use the weaknesses and dysfunctions of the Gatewatch against them.[5]
