Ozan

Ozan is one of the seven Signature Heroes first announced in the Development Diary "Who are the Signature Heroes?". He features in the background of the RuneScape homepage that was released with Dungeoneering, which shows Ozan Dungeoneering with two of the other signature heroes, Ariane and Sir Owen. He appears to be a powerful ranged user. He was released in-game on the 1 June 2011 along with the Fremennik Sagas.

Personality


"Who are the Signature Heroes?" describes Ozan as being a good speaker, bold, and carefree. He is a bard and tells embellished stories of his adventures, and those of others, emphasizing sensationalism over accuracy. He seems to be more concerned with fame than with doing what's right. It is shown in the Burthorpe tutorial that he possibly has a soft spot for cute and/or harmless things. Ozan also tends to smile a lot.

Capabilities
In addition to being charismatic, seemingly able to affect others similarly to the Ring of Charos, Ozan is very agile.

He does not have a high Strength level in Three's Company, and is too lazy to train Runecrafting. He also has less than level 50 Mining. He has level 15 Attack as the highest ability he can use in the saga is backhand.

Ozan is also an accomplished thief, as revealed in one of his conversations in the Legends' Guild, his exploits including stealing artifacts from a museum on behalf of a private collector. Along with that, in the cinematic trailer, he is shown as a young boy stealing an apple from a vendor cart. This is also shown as he steals a diamond necklace. The Thieves' Guild also wishes that Ozan would join them.

History
Ozan was born in Al Kharid and grew up in Varrock, with more than a few visits to Burthorpe and Taverley. He is a renowned explorer and has travelled all over Gielinor.

In a lore story, The Rising Sun - Ozan's Tale, it is revealed that he is exiled from Al Kharid after being accused of attempting to steal a gigantic diamond. He also met Leela and her father, Osman on the way.

RuneScape cinematic trailer
Ozan plays a large role in the RuneScape cinematic trailer that could be watched here.

The trailer opens in the druidic city of Taverley, where Sir Owen and Ariane are talking on a balcony while Ozan wanders past a couple of girls in the street below.

Suddenly, a gigantic troll appears and wrecks havoc before charging straight at Ozan, who dodges the first swing of the troll's enormous axe, but the scene changes to a flashback when he couldn't evade the second strike.

The Raptor saves Ozan by slamming into the troll's axe shield-first. As the troll attempts to grab him, Sir Owen leaps off the balcony railing and smashes its right arm to little effect, and is shoved aside into a pillar. Ariane seizes her chance and hit it with a continuous stream of ice, freezing it solid. Ozan then shoots an arrow into the creature's chest, shattering it into blocks of frozen troll.

After the RuneScape icon appears and disappears, three more trolls are seen charging.

Trivia

 * Darren Lightfinger says he wishes he could have convinced Ozan to join the Thieves' Guild at the start of Buyers and Cellars. When speaking to Ozan, he mentions your work for Darren Lightfinger, and says he needs to step up his game; he mentions stealing the River Salve.
 * During Three's Company, he has 300 life points. In Troll Warzone, he is shown to have roughly 100 life points, but 80 constitution is required to wield torva armour, which he did in the trailer.
 * In the RuneScape cinematic trailer Ozan has white skin with blue eyes but in game he has brown skin with brown eyes.
 * He appears to shoot mithril arrows from his bow when fighting alongside you in Stolen Hearts and Diamond in the Rough, as well as during the fight with the troll general in the Troll Warzone tutorial.
 * If talked to after the completion of Gunnar's Ground, there is a chance Ozan will talk about that quest. His second line of chat is "I guess that means no more nights out on the town with her. All the times she drank me under the table at the Blue Moon Inn..." which is a reference to a popular film.
 * At one point, Ozan was witnessed north of Falador, seeming to place a Pure essence on the Tribute Stone erected by Runestax. This could mean he is Guthixian.
 * Ozan is under 25 years old, but not by much, as revealed in the third Above the Lore podcast.
