| Career | |
Rayvan was a genetically engineered Iconian Guardian, a group devoted to the defense of the Iconian Empire's colony worlds. He had been assigned to the planet Ayre.
In 2376, Rayvan was awakened from stasis by the Breen, who bombarded the planet. He used the Defender, an Iconian starship, to protect the planet from the Breen Warships in orbit. They were all destroyed, but Rayvan was injured during the battle. An away team from the USS Angeles discovered the unconscious Rayvan and brought him back to the Angeles where he treated by Dr. Richard Ortega. He was able to convince Captain Janice Willcocks to help defend the plant from a second Breen attack. He commanded the Defender during the Battle of Ayre and successfully forced the Breen to retreat. He destroyed Ayre to prevent the planet and its technology from falling into the wrong hands hands. He left on the Angeles. (ANG 1.05 "The Last of the Iconians")
By 2377, Rayvan was a resident of Deep Space 12. He was asked to act as an advisor for the senior staff on the USS Excelsior while on a mission to uncover the identity of a alien race that had been attacking various ships in the Briar Patch. He identified them as the Grey Confederacy, and provided much-needed intelligence on the races that comprise it. Rayvan was assigned to work with Myra Elbrey in an effort to communicate with them. (HF 1.02 - "Enemy Unknown, Part 2") Rayvan accompanied the Excelsior on a mission to make first contact with the Grey in the Devron system, but the mission went badly and the Battle of Devron ensued. Rayvan helped the crew of the Excelsior devise a psionic inhibitor to help rescue the captured Captain Ian Quincy Knapp. (HF 1.03 - "Enemy Unknown, Part 3")
He returned to the station after the completion of the mission and mostly kept to himself until the Grey launched a surprised invasion of Ba'ku. Determined not to see the beautiful world reduced to the same state as Iconia, Rayvan joined the security teams that defended against the Grey's terror teams on the planet's surface. His efforts helped ensure the defeat of the Grey, both on- and off-world, but at a cost. Severely wounded in the attack, he died on the planet's surface, beyond even the abilities of the planet's metaphasic radiation to heal. Captain Knapp lamented that he had been unable to get to know him better, a feeling probably shared by many officers as Rayvan had been a very private individual, mostly meditating in the tranquility of his quarters. (HF 2.01 - "Refugees")
