Kiron Maray is a Centauri male from a minor noble family. In 2258, his family arranged for him to marry a Centauri noble whom he claimed was "the ugliest woman on Centauri Prime." He had fallen in love and wished to marry a younger woman, Aria Tensus. While on the station, both Kiron and Aria were attacked by members of the Homeguard, a radical anti-alien group. Aria suffered minor injuries, but Kiron was seriously wounded, left in a coma. Aria insisted on staying at his side in Medlab. Kiron managed to recover, awakening only a day later.
