Kevin Steiner-Dinesen (legally changed to Kevin Steiner in 2612) was the eleventh Archon of the Lyran Commonwealth.[3]

History[edit]

He was abducted by the Steering Committee when he was acting Archon in 2590.[2]

In January 2592, on Tharkad, Estates General Speaker of the Assembly Henry Gram celebrates his pending success in manipulating the Lyran parliament into voting to secede from the Star League. His triumphant reverie is interrupted by his associate, Ichabod Blau, who informs him that the Lyran Intelligence Corps (LIC) is starting to arrest all the conspirators involved in the kidnapping of Archon-Designate Kevin Steiner-Dinesen. Gram tries to calm Blau, noting that his steering committee has the LIC tied in knots, while Archon Viola, at last report from his spies, was still in a coma on Barcelona. The two exit Government House through a secret corridor, only to find the Fourth Royal Guards executing a combat drop on the Triad. Up above, Archon Viola oversees Operation RIGHTEOUS FURY, coordinating efforts to seal off the roads around Government House, trapping the rogue members of the Estates General. LIC agents apprehend Gram and bring him out to where the Archon awaits in her one-armed Warhammer. Rage consumes her, and when he attempts to give a speech about patriotism, she crushes him beneath her 'Mech's heel.[4]

In 2612 he legally changed his name to Kevin Steiner amid reports of ugly rivalries between the Steiner and Dinesen families that allegedly involved the suspicious deaths of eighteen members of the two families.[5][6]

Death and Succession[edit]

When Kevin died in 2647, his sister Sarah inherited the title of Archon.[1][7]
