==Episode History==
 
−
* '''[Pre-E9]''' A core educated doctor, Jian regularly found himself behind lines during the war, patching up soldiers and civilians on both sides until he was caught and imprisoned by the Alliance. Shortly before Unification, he was rescued from a hospital prison camp by a soldier he had befriended named Lynch.
 
−
----
 
−
* '''[E9]''' Jian joined the crew as Ship's Doctor in the middle of a job where the crew was retrieving an artifact from Earth That Was.
 
−
----
 
−
* '''[E10]''' Jian's medical skill sees lots of use in an ambush with pirates, and he learns he's not much of a knife fighter. The crew does not yet know of Jian's association with Lynch, though they've had their own dealings with the man.
 
−
----
 
−
* '''[E11]''' Jian helps search for Wiley's kidnapped kin. The crew learns of his implant and his facility with computers - particularly breaking into computer systems. He strongly encourages the crew to use Lynch as their escape hatch at the end of the episode.
 
−
----
 
−
* '''[E12]''' The crew tries to turn the tables on some landgrabbers, but evacuation and retreat is the best they can manage. Jian avoids bringing up Lynch again, but encourages the crew to protect themselves and their charges by making themselves a sympathetic spectacle in a core-wide video documentary.
 
 
----
 
----
−
* '''[E13]''' The crew helps Major John Kraig find a watch he lost on a battlefield during the war before said battlefield gains protected status. The full extent of Jian's relationship with Lynch becomes known. Jian leaves the ship at the end of the episode to finally make good on what he owes Lynch for rescuing him during the War.
+
'''Pre-Episode History:''' Raised and educated in the core by his foster parents the Van Jensens, Jian went to university on Sihnon and became a doctor. During the war he regularly went behind enemy lines on both sides of the conflict to ply his trade on whoever needed it that day. Ostensibly his sympathies lay with the Independents, but Jian did not let his sympathies get in the way of who he patched up. He spent the end of the war in a prison camp where the Alliance was experimenting with cybernetics and was ultimately rescued by Lynch, a young soldier tasked with 'cleaning house' after the war who  would soon rise up the ranks in Alliance Intelligence.

−
* '''[E14-17]''' [Off Screen] Jian joined up with Lynch after leaving the Righteous to clear his debt with the man, performing odd tasks and questionable off-book ops, the last of which cost him both his arms. Lynch put him back together, but Jian reckoned his debt clear and his friendship with the intelligence operative effectively at an end.
+
'''Episode History:''' [EP9] Jian joined the crew in the middle of a job where the crew was retrieving an artifact from Earth That Was, which was ultimately successful. [DP10] Pirates set an ambush. Jian's medical skill is a heavily drawn upon asset and he learns he's not much of a knife fighter. Spends most of the episode behind his meatshield asset, the Dead Pirate Robert. AKA Bob. The crew does not yet know of Jian's association with Lynch. [EP11] Jian helps search for Wiley's kidnapped kin. Crew discovered his implant and facility with computers. Particularly with breaking into computer system. Strongly encourages the crew to use Lynch as their escape hatch at the end of the episode. [EP12] Crew is tasked with freeing homesteaders from a matriarch who is buying up all the property on their moon and using force and coercion when they won't sell. Jian uses his history with said matriarch to try to bring things to a satisfying conclusion, but a stalemate and retreat is the best they can manage. Jian avoids bringing up Lynch again, but encourages the crew to protect themselves and their charges by making a video documentary of their 'rescue' of the homesteaders to make their image too public for the crime boss behind the moon buyout to easily come after them. [EP13] The crew helps Kraig find a watch he lost on a battlefield during the war before said battlefield gains protected status. Jian's relationship with Lynch becomes known when he uses that connection to get himself and some crew members out of a hassle with local law enforcement. Jian leaves the ship at the end of the episode to make good on what he owes Lynch for rescuing him during the War.

* '''[E18]''' Jian rejoins to the crew of the Righteous.
+
'''Continuing History:''' Jian joined up with Lynch after leaving the Righteous to clear his debt with the man, commanding a small crew on covert missions, the last of which cost him both his arms. Lynch put him back together, but Jian reckoned their debt clear and his friendship with the intelligence operative effectively at an end.
