Keevan was a Vorta commander of a Jem'Hadar ship in the Alpha Quadrant in the early days of the Dominion War.

Biography[]

In 2374, Keevan's ship crashed on an uninhabited planet in a dark matter nebula and he was stranded with his Jem'Hadar soldiers. When a Starfleet-controlled Jem'Hadar fighter under the command of Benjamin Sisko crashed on the planet, Keevan made a deal with Sisko to lead his troops into a trap so they could easily be killed before they went into withdrawal from lack of ketracel-white. Sisko hesitated, but ultimately was forced to carry out the arrangement. Keevan subsequently became a prisoner-of-war. (DS9 episode: "Rocks and Shoals", DS9 - The Dominion War novel: Call to Arms...)

After Ishka was captured by the Dominion, Kira Nerys persuaded Sisko to have Keevan handed over to Quark to be exchanged for his mother. Keevan did not expect to be treated well by the Dominion upon his repatriation; Vorta were supposed to trigger their termination implant in the event of being captured, but Keevan refused to do so, calling it overly harsh. Nevertheless, Keevan was accidentally killed by Gaila on Empok Nor, and had to be crudely reanimated by Nog to make the prisoner exchange. Growing desperate, Nog engineered a series of neural stimulators to take control of Keevan's body and motor functions, thereby making it appear as if he was alive long enough to secure Ishka's release. After killing the Jem'Hadar escort and capturing the Vorta Yelgrun , the Ferengi left Empok Nor, leaving Keevan's body continually walking into a bulkhead due to a jammed transceiver, much to Nog's amusement. (DS9 episode: "The Magnificent Ferengi")

Keevan (or one of his clones) was not a skilled commander, but was highly experienced and devious. (DS9 video game: Dominion Wars)

In an alternate timeline, clones of Keevan were created on Rondac III. (DS9 - Millennium novel: Inferno)
