G'Quan was a major Narn religious figure and prophet. Living during the time of the First Shadow War, G'Quan led the Narn "Mind Walkers" against the Shadows who had set up a base on Narn. In this struggle, G'Quan was supported by G'Lan, along with a number of other such beings. The leaf of what became known as the G'Quan Eth plant, became the symbol of the faith that grew up around G'Quan's teachings. The G'Quan class heavy cruiser was named in his honor.
