Biography
Not much is known about Lt. Keun's youth or origins. As lieutenant in the Army, he is the chief commanding officer of a large battalion of soldiers which includes Lingon Çamain. He was responsible for overseeing much of the Minsan Invasion, including the eventual evacuation after The Flare. When Lingon discovers a mysterious sealed box, he reports it to Lt. Keun who correctly identifies it as a box containing an ajmastone. However, he and Lingon are separated after a redsight ambush until meeting again at Post 25 several days later. Upon learning that Lingon has given refuge to a redsight Wistanian, Alaija, he threatens Lingon with a charge of treason if he does not hand the boy over. Lingon escapes until eventually running into him again at Dazal, which Lt. Keun has successfully destroyed and burned. He repeats his threats, but Lingon is able to narrowly escape him and his inferiors and give Alaija back to his people for care. Upon returning to the Minsan port to evacuate Wistania, Lingon lies to Lt. Keun to gather information on what he believes could be a cure to redsight. Suspecting that Lingon perhaps has learned his lesson, he extends an offer for Lingon to live on his ranch if he is prosecuted for treason upon returning to Minsa. When the Wistanian arrive to ambush the Minsan evacuation, Lingon betrays Lt. Keun one final time. Lingon kills him after Wanara gives him redsight.

Personality and Traits
Lt. Keun is extremely strict and lives by a code imposed on him by the Minsan military and its values. Nonetheless he "believes strongly in redemption" and often extends Lingon multiple chances to change his ways. Nonetheless, he has no compassion or empathy for the Wistanians, and shows no remorse for their downfall.
