Zhaan is a Delvian Priestess. Delvians are a highly spiritual race, thoughtful and peace loving. They are also plant based in their genetic makeup and are extremely sensitive to the sun. Zhaan has reached the 10th Plateau in the Delvian Seek, a search for perfect understanding and unity with all life. She's immensely strong, terribly dignified, and she's approximately 812 years old.

Zhaan was originally placed into custody of the Peacekeepers for murdering her lover and political leader of the Delvians. She had learned that he was proceeding with plans to give control of their world to the Peacekeepers, Zhaan murdered him during an

intertwining of her soul and mind with his. Among the Delvians this encounter is both spiritual and sexual. While linked, she used her power to overwhelm him and kill him, an act that nearly drove her mad. Because of this act she now carries a guilt inside her which has created a dark side to her which she constantly struggles to keep buried.

While in prison she brought herself back from insanity by nurturing a higher and wiser power in herself that could keep the dark forces in her soul under control. She is not entirely safe, however. At certain times on their indeterminate voyage, Zhaan has broken faith with herself, or has been forced to, and her dark side has emerged. Zhaan has embraced the spiritual side of her being and has pledged to live her life through means of peace, and nurturing as she continues the inner struggle between good and evil.
