Jetanien was a Rigellian Chelon who served as a senior Federation diplomat in the 23rd century. Known as a wise and learned statesman, he was assigned in 2265 to Starbase 47, where he supervised a staff of envoys, attaches and aides to deal with diplomatic issues within the Taurus Reach.

While he had a wry sense of humor, particularly about the unpredictability of diplomatic matters, he was also a powerful orator and tough negotiator. He has a leathery dark green hide and is especially partial to Denebian shellfish broth. (VAN novel: Harbinger)

Jetanien spent much of 2267 away from Vanguard on Nimbus III, where he was attempting to draw Klingon and Romulan delegates together for multilateral talks. His efforts to hold a conference were finally successful in September of that year when Senator D'tran of the Romulan Star Empire joined Jetanien and Klingon Ambassador Lugok on the surface.
