'''Straven Enroy''' {{CiteText|text=Varrock Census|quote=[Citizen's name] Straven Enroy.|loc=}} is a professional thief and the leader of the [[Phoenix Gang]]. He is found in an underground basement in southern part of Varrock, in the [[Phoenix Gang Hideout]]. For players who are starting the quest [[Shield of Arrav]], Straven assigns the player the task of killing [[Johnny the beard]] before he will let the player become a part of the [[Phoenix Gang]]. He also provides the [[Weapon store key]] to players who are members of his gang.

Straven claims to be the head of the "VTAM Corporation" to people who aren't a member of either gang.{{CiteNPC|npc=Straven|quote=Hey! You can't go in there. Only authorised personnel of the VTAM Corporation are allowed beyond this point.}} This is a cover for his gang, and the corporation likely doesn't exist.
