He started out at Benden Weyr. At the time of his Impression, he was the smallest and youngest candidate, being old enough (12 Turns old) by only a single day. His Impression was really a tottaly huge surprise, not only due to his youth and small size, but to the unusual circumstances behind the Impression, as K'van had been seriously injured from a fight with another candidate, Beterli, and had hobbled to the Hatching Ground.
- Keevan was born in Benden Weyr, a son of brown rider K'last, and became a candidate for the next impression at barely 12 turns old. Although reassured by his foster mother that all her fosterlings made dragon rider, Keevan was desperate to impress on his first attempt, largely because, as the smallest and youngest of the candidates, he was being bullied by some of the older ones, notably Beterli (who would publicly call him "babe").

Although reassured by his foster mother that all her fosterlings made dragon rider, Keevan was desperate to impress on his first attempt, largely because, as the smallest and youngest of the candidates, he was being bullied by some of the older ones, notably Beterli (who would publicly call him "babe"). Keevan was attacked by Beterli right before the impression, and although Beterli was disciplined and expelled from the position of candidate, Keevan had broken his leg and was not expected to participate in the Hatching. He nevertheless rose and made huge efforts to get to the Hatching Ground, where a single bronze hatchling was trying to leave the grounds without making impression. At first, Keevan thought he was being teased by the older boys for showing up in a frightful state, but he then realized that he was, in fact, hearing the voice of the newly hatched dragonet, Heth, in his head. Thus he became a bronze rider and, according to F'lar, "one of the bravest". His name was shortened to the ritual honorific of K'van.
