A Jhereg who was free-lance enforcer, hired by Vlad Taltos (actually by Kragar) during the war with Laris.
He stood only six foot six, very short for a Dragaeran, and wore his hair slicked back.
He was known to have done work, and was reputed to be a very dependable assassin.
He had a habit of speaking very little, and only when he could not convey his meaning with grunts or gestures.
After Vlad left his position as a low-level Jhereg boss, Shoen continued to work in a similar capacity for Kragar. This included sometimes acting as a messenger between Kragar and Vlad when Vlad was trying to avoid the Left Hand of the Jhereg.
