Kavan owns a robust physique and takes some care to keep it that way. Idle enough in humour and still enough on the job, the better part of his own time is spent in exercise and practice. Despite his profession as a 'freelance violence thwartation specialist' he wears no armour and carries no weapons. The only protection he wears other than that offered by his coat, trousers and boots, are firm wrappings on his fists and arms and a wide leather belt.


Calling himself a student of life, Kavan has been under formal tutelage less times than he can count on one hand. His study of unarmed combat then has distilled from observation and more masters than could claim to know him for their student. As a result he seems always to know exactly where he is and how much room he has, able to traverse most spaces without touching anyone. Similarly though he is quick to extract himself from conversations which threaten intimacy, however quick he may be to buy or accept drinks from a stranger.
