Cryan was a Bajoran male who served in the Bajoran Militia in the 24th century.

In 2376 he held the rank of sergeant and was assigned to Deep Space 9. In April of that year he was assigned to watch over the Jem'Hadar Kitana'klan, being held in one of DS9's cargo bays, and was subsequently killed, along with corporal Devro, when the Jem'Hadar made a successful escape attempt, breaking Cryan's neck in the attack.
