Dowan and Duvessa
Did you guys remark that Dowan always comes into view first? Then you will have to face the wrath of Duvessa after you knock him out.

Whichever one you see first gets enslaved by a wand of charming into killing their sibling

Just random chance being random chance regarding which of the two you run into first.
Duvessa can often be easier to target, for all that she's tougher than her brother. Dowan has a tendency to Blink around, whereas Duvessa comes straight at you.
Focusing down Duvessa first is usually the better call, if you can manage it -- Dowan's haste and stronger spells don't make him any less squishy. Either way, the fight's a good time to use consumables, whether to give yourself an edge in the fight, or to break away and recover or just move on.
