- Kian was a 23rd century Klingon indivdiual who served the Klingon Empire's Defense Force as an officer. Kian was an ensign, serving under the command of Captain Krenn in the 2230s aboard IKV Fencer. Kian was assigned by Krenn to lead a boarding party to a Willall starship (unnamed starships) captured by Fencer. When Fencer was recalled to Klinzhai, Kian was quite eager to remain on the prize ship and have the party pilot the ship to base under his command. Krenn was initially reluctant, but was impressed by the young ensign's initiative, and granted Kian his first command.

- Kian is the most powerful nation of the Three Seas, extending from the southern frontier of the Nansur Empire to Nilnamesh. The Kianene were originally a desert people from the fringes of the Great Salt. Various Ceneian and Nilnameshi sources refer to them as cunning and audacious raiders, the target of several different campaigns and punitive expeditions. In his monumental The Annals of Cenei, Casidas describes them as "courtly savages, at once disarmingly gracious and murderous in the extreme". Despite their reputation and apparent numbers (Nansur records indicate several attempts to gauge their numbers by concerned provincial governors), the Kianene spent most of their time battle amongst themselves over scarce desert resources. Their conversion to Fanimry (c. 3704-3724) would change this, and with drastic consequences. Following the unification of the Kianene tribes under Fane, Fan'oukarji I, Fane's eldest son and the first of Kian's Padirajahs, led his countrymen in the so-called White Jihad, winning a series of spectacular victories over the Nansur Imperial Army. By the time of his death in 3771, Fan'oukarji I had conquered all of Mongilea and had made serious inroads into Eumarna. He had also founded his capital, Nenciphon, on the banks of the River Sweki. Successive Jihads would see Eumarna (3801), Enathpaneah (3842), Xerash and Amoteu (3845), then finally Shigek and Gedea (3933) all fall to Kian. Though the Nilnameshi would successfully thwart several different Kianene invasions, Fanic missionaries would succeed in converting the Girgashi to Fanimry in the thirty-eighth century. By the end of the fourth millennium Kian was easily the pre-eminent military and commercial power of the Three Seas, and a source of endless consternation not only for the much-diminished Nansur Empire but for Inrithi Princes in every nation.

Krenn was initially reluctant, but was impressed by the young ensign's initiative, and granted Kian his first command. Years later, in the 2240s, Kian had attained the rank of captain and was the commander of IKV Fury. Kian's squadron was issued secret orders by conspirators attempting to sow distrust between Klingons and the Federation. Per these orders, Kian, accompanied by manipulative Security Commander Merzhan, was en route to attack the Federation colony of Serkash II. When Krenn discovered the plan from Federation conspirators who were complicit in allowing their own citizens to be slaughtered for politics, he decided to intercept the dishonorable attack with his cruiser, IKS Mirror. Krenn regretted killing his former ensign, but recognized the need to stop the dastardly plan. Kian died in his command chair, as visible to Krenn's bridge, when Merzhan broadcast Fury's final message before Kian's vessel was destroyed. (TOS - Worlds Apart novel: The Final Reflection)
