Be it through hallowed grounds or lands of sorrow
All in the Forger's wake is left bereft and fallow
Is the residuum worth the cost of destruction and maiming;
Or is the shaping a culling and exercise in taming?
The road's goal is the dark Origin of Being
But be wary through what thickets it winds.
-Excerpt from the Litany of Residuum;

In short, it is implied he embodies one of the Gods of Xiansie -- the God of Thieves, to be exact. He was a trickster and adventurer, and for the past few centuries -- millenia? -- has traversed Sanctuary. He even claims to have met Zoltun Kulle!
H never gives you any straight answers but is a wily old coot who imparts a few nuggets of... wisdom. He has experienced all that is good and bad in the world, all its... dichotomies.
And is obsessed with finding a certain Jewel. A Jewel that imprisons a dread demon.
Just as Malthael became obsessed with finding the Worldstone, which eventually turned him mad.
Could Shen the Jeweler be Malthael's human incarnation in Sanctuary? That he's gone mad over the past 20 years searching Sanctuary for it, losing himself in the lie that is Shen?
