Din Steiner was Khan of Clan Cloud Cobra at the time of the Clan Invasion, described as tall and gaunt, though with a keen intellect and political acumen.[1]
History[edit]
Din Steiner was a protege of the previous Khan, Tova N'Buta, ascending to the position in 3037. Though a member of the Tongo Cloister, he often desired to separate himself from their machinations and believed the timing of Operation REVIVAL to be an error.[1] During a lull in the REVIVAL Trials, Cloud Cobra infighting sprang up, leading to intra-Clan strife, and Khan Steiner declared the invasion to not be in the best interest of The Way, withdrawing his Clan from consideration in the second round of bidding.[3]
He was known to have not led his entire Keshik into battle in over two decades, preferring to split his forces into reinforcements for the Clan's Galaxies,[4] however, following the accusation against ilKhan Elias Crichell of his being unfit to be a warrior in 3058, all Khans were subject to a Trial of Position. Khan Steiner was not killed and was presumed to be successful in maintaining his rank.[5]
Khan Din Steiner died on Tanis during the Wars of Reaving against Bandit Caste members.[2]
