Star-Khan
Throughout the history of the cosmos, there have been great leaders who felt the call to battle and conquest. Many of these leaders built powerful empires before time and enemies brought them low. Still, the legends they created live on and never die. Such is the life of Kinan Khan of Zultas. He is the most brilliant and ruthless military leader his world has ever produced, the son of the ruthless and powerful Queen Khana. By the age of 20 solar cycles, Khan ruled his nation and commanded a great army. Within four years, he was the undisputed ruler of his world. By the age of 30, he ruled over entire star systems, and his name was feared and respected throughout his region of the galaxy. In the ensuing years, nothing seemed to stop him.
More than a few worlds rushed to join the Lor Republic out of fear that the Star-Khan and his forces would conquer them. Most thought the Republic and the Star Knights would hold Khan’s small empire at bay, but they underestimated the ambition and abilities of Kinan Khan. The Lor Republic could not stop him. In fact, it would be his next conquest!

Personal history
Khan might have succeeded in his first attempt at invading and conquering the Republic if it were not for the aid of the Earthman Daedalus, who then traveled the stars. With the ancient inventor’s brilliance and daring, coupled with the abilities of A’lan Koor and the Star Knights, the Star-Khan’s invasion failed. As a result, a rebellion arose within his own empire that eventually led to his over-throw. Kinan Khan escaped from his vengeful former subjects with the remnants of his army, swearing vengeance on Daedalus and the Star Knights.
It took him years to rebuild, but the Star-Khan returned to conquer anew. He reclaimed his old dominion, crushed rebellious worlds beneath his heel, and even expanded his influence while the Lor Republic remained distracted by the The Grue Unity. More cautious than in the days of his fiery youth, seasoned and wily, Khan added diplomacy to his arsenal, although his legendary temper and thirst for conquest have not been diminished in the slightest. His earlier setbacks taught him the value of patience, of waiting until the time was right, and doing everything necessary to ensure success.
So, when the Star Knights were faced with the new dual threat of the Blackguard and the Argents, and the terrible specter of Collapsar rose up and devoured Magna-Lor, throwing the Lor Republic into chaos, Star-Khan seized the moment and struck without mercy. He has been rewarded with the greatest victory of his career, and rule over an unrivaled interstellar domain. Although the power of the Preserver Stones has eluded him, Khan still dreams of greater power and glory.
Personality Characteristics
Motivation
Kinan Khan considers battle the only worthy pursuit in life. He is a warrior born, while most others in the cosmos are little more than cattle to be led or conquered. It’s the conquest that matters to him, planning his strategies, moving the pieces into place, and then executing a flawless campaign to bring his enemy down. It’s not just a matter of winning, but winning with strategy and cunning against a worthy adversary. Khan thirsts for enemies worthy of him, and savors the conflict since it will make his expected victory that much sweeter.
