Zoran Si Verdin was a Thallonian male in the 24th century. He was a member of the noble class, and thus very close to the young Prince Si Cwan. In their youths, Zoran and Si Cwan were close friends, as well as sparring partners. However, in their teenage years, Si Cwan began to exhibit behavior that concerned his father, who charged Zoran with watching the young prince, and to report his observations back to the emperor. When Si Cwan realized Zoran's duplicity, it marked the end of their friendship. (NF - No Limits short story: "Turning Point")
