Daniel Kwan
From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference.
Daniel L. Kwan was a Starfleet lieutenant junior grade (serial number #SK 105-223), a native of Psi Upsilon IV, the son of Emiraa and Ronald Kwan. He was half-Human and half-Napean. He was born on stardate 40004.3 (Med file #UT-772-1), and graduated the Starfleet Academy on Psi Upsilon III on stardate 40571.5.
By 2370, he had an average efficiency rating of 8.4, and was a specialist rating 5 in warp field dynamics. He received the Jalhal Award for warp field studies, the Okuda Award for engineering sciences. He also received the J. Bruce Engineering Scholarship. He was previously assigned to the USS Pueblo, and the USS Seaview.
He was serving at Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards as a second assistant team leader of the teams that installed the warp engine emergency control systems and the plasma venting and control systems of the USS Enterprise-D.
He was promoted to Lieutenant JG on stardate 46992.6, and committed suicide by jumping into a plasma stream on stardate 47622.1. (TNG: "Eye of the Beholder")
[edit] Background
Kwan was played by Tim Lounibos. An okudagram readout of Kwan's personnel file was displayed on a viewscreen that Deanna Troi was studying. Some of the facts could be called into question since she was involved in a very detailed hallucination when the data was shown. This could explain why he was assigned to three different starships on the same date, and why he was born on a stardate that might indicate he was only 7 years old. On the other hand, background graphics are usually inside jokes and other made-up information, so it is probably best not to take them too seriously.
