Hevan chose to specialise in [[wikipedia:intellectual property|intellectual property]] law, feeling this would maximise the dullness of his work, and practiced in Flurthwel. Although he worked on a few cases early on, a full decade of his career was spanned by a single case, ''Bergman v. Kikki'', during which he droned ''on'' and ''on'' about some boring legal shit. Long after both plaintiff and defendant, as well as eight members of the jury, had passed away, he carried on. The case was eventually settled out of court, and let to the hugely popular ruling in ''Everyone v. That tool'' that he needed "to just shut up already".

With the appointment of [[Jianna Woltzten|Princess Jianna]] as [[List of Ambassadors to the United Nations|Ambassador to the]] [[United Nations]], a host of advisors were hand-picked by [[Grand Vizier]] [[Mikkolic Weltin]]. He proposed Hevan as advisor on IP issues, and was supported by the [[Flurthwel Chamber of Commerce]], who said they "just wanted to get rid of the fucker". However, in the wake of the [[UN Copyright Convention]], international boredom on issues of copyright, chiefly as part of a reaction against the incessant ramblings of the representative of [[Discoraversalism]], led to disillusionment with the idea. With Hevan already assigned to be a part of the delegation, he was retasked to be Personal Assistant to Princess Jianna. This has mainly involved helping her recover from hangovers; since she has taken on more ceremonial duties, he has been free to discuss policy, though has rarely done so.

This article refers to the Gruenberger lawyer and UN official Iffne Hevan. Many other people in his family share his name, but are only unexceptionally boring, and hence do not merit articles.
Iffne Hevan
Iffne Hevan
Nationality Gruenberger
Current position Personal Assistant to the Ambassador to the UN
Former occupation Intellectual property rights lawyer
Iffne Iffne Hevan (born June 30th, 1962) is a Gruenberger lawyer, currently serving as Personal Assistant to Princess Jianna Woltzten, Gruenberg's Ambassador to the United Nations, although he was originally intended to serve as an advisor on intellectual property rights. He has been described as the most boring man in the universe, but has dismissed this, saying, "No no, being the most boring man would be quite interesting, really. I would only be the third or fourth most boring, I should think. But then, that would depend on one's definition of 'boring', a somewhat relativistic...hey, where are you going?"

Early life

Hevan was born in Flurthwel, the only child of Iffne and Iffna Hevan, respectively an accountant and a legal secretary. At the age of 15 he reached the national finals of Gruenberg's National Chess Championship, and has won the tournament on several subsequent occasions. He was expelled from school for being too boring, but reinstated on writing an exceptionally boring letter of apology. He attended the Central University of Flurthwel, where he took a degree in law, and then took his training at his mother's firm. He is married to Doris Hevan, and has two children, both called Iffne. His transfer to the Gruenberger Office of UN Affairs was the first time he had been outside Flurthwel.
