The only daughter of the young matriarch of the Han triad, Kiko enjoyed a protected if not particularly sheltered childhood. Exposed both peripherally and directly to the inner workings of a criminal empire, she grew up fast, but always there were men and women around her both required and willing to stand in harm's way on her behalf. She knew that she was a target. And she knew they would always stand between her and the arrows of whoever might come for her.

That became starkly real when one attempt to abduct her led directly to the deaths of the men assigned to her. So, when she reached her majority, Kiko declared herself emancipated from the Triad - a declaration the Han matriarch ostensibly allowed.

Now, out in the Black, Kiko has taken it upon herself to find folk who need help to flee their situation and start new lives. Despite her known stance, she is still widely thought of throughout the triad as the Han heir apparent, and though she vehemently denies any involvement in triad business. she has been known to make free use of triad resources if it suits her needs to do so. And while attempts against her personally have grown rare, her mother's enemies know what she is worth in leverage against the matriarch. Soon enough one is bound to try again to gain that leverage.

Kiko has also recently reunited with the father who was exiled from her childhood. A battle-scarred veteran and core educated doctor, Jian Van Jensen somehow managed to avoid entanglements with the triad, and she has respected her mother's desire that she not to unduly 'disturb' his days. Though he was never allowed a place in her life, mother always spoke kindly of him when she sharpened her knives. So, when they are together, Kiko does not speak of the triad, and for his part he seems to quietly understand her silence.
