Born on [[Quafiirla]] to the Firemother of a village, but fostered on the [[Quapendai\|Seeker’s Side]] before attending the [[Hearth]].<ref>''[[Zafiil (Fiction)\|Zafiil]]'', Volume 2, Chapter 24</ref> At Hearth was a sympathetic companion to Zafiil; interestingly, her curriculum was a mystery: "Zafiil had never discovered exactly what Jan was studying for, since very few curricula lasted as long as an Emis- sary’s."<ref name=":0">''[[Zafiil (Fiction)\|Zafiil]]'', Volume 2, Chapter 18</ref> At the end of Zafiil's tenure, Zafiil asked her to come with her, on her ship, and Jan refused. "Why would He place us on this path together, and then demand we walk it apart? I don't understand!" Jan replies: "You don't know. But when you do, I'll be here."<ref name=":0" />

	She was Danced into office as WorldDancer in the first year of Zafiil's ministry, by Zafiil and [[Daqan]], in Oolen. Zafiil declined to Dance at this event: "One day, these Faulfenza would return to this recording and see that Jan's naming as WorldDancer had been an event worth of singularity, even in the FireBorn's era, and they would know why that was right. Previous WorldDancers had been mediators of the minor conflicts of a people accustomed to having entire worlds to spread out on. Their newest WorldDancer would be remembered forever as the female who negotiated the treaties with the Others, and saw their entrance onto the galactic stage and into the Golden Age."<ref>''[[Zafiil (Fiction)\|Zafiil]]'', Volume 2, Chapter 32</ref>		After graduation from the Hearth, while Zafiil and her yearmates were away on their ships, she traveled Quapendai, learning about different towns and the needs of the Faulfenza there. This made her an obvious candidate for the position of WorldDancer when [[List of Faulfenzair Characters\|Anza]] stepped down. She was preparing for that when Zafiil returned as the FireBorn; they met again at Zafiil's first worldcast in Oolen. "Now you know," Jan said, and Zafiil answered: "Now I know. You were right to stay."<ref name=":1">''[[Zafiil (Fiction)\|Zafiil]]'', Volume 2, Chapter 25</ref>

			She was Danced into office as WorldDancer in the first year of Zafiil's ministry, by Zafiil and [[Daqan]], in Oolen. Zafiil declined to Dance at this event: "One day, these Faulfenza would return to this recording and see that Jan's naming as WorldDancer had been an event worth of singularity, even in the FireBorn's era, and they would know why that was right.

Jan observes that Zafiil does not speak of herself when referring to these negotiations, and Zafiil divulges that Jan will have to do it alone. "Fitting," Jan says. "Since you had a task that I could not share."<ref name=":2" />

			While accompanying Zafiil on her tours, Jan oversaw the construction of the memorial and port where she would later meet the Others.

			Before her death, Zafiil gave Jan Tristan's cord and the cap to Dar Allen's data wand, saying that she was now the custodian of the Alliance ambassador's gift, and Tristan's memory. With it, she bequeathed the instructions and ability to lock/unlock the wand's contents and access to the ''Slipstream'' (Daqan being the only other person to be given this access).

			Their parting, at the final family gathering in Paidiiza, was difficult for them both. At this time, Zafiil gives her final instructions as the FireBorn, and Jan, in her office as the Eye of Faulza, tells her to go to Qodii, and her reward at last. Zafiil says: "As the Eye has seen, and as Faulza speaks through her, I go. But it is Zafiil who speaks when she says she loves this friend who has been steadfast, her rock in all the years they've known one another."<ref>''[[Zafiil (Fiction)\|Zafiil]]'', Volume 2, Chapter 41</ref>
