Daniel Kwan

Lt. Kwan, a half-Napean officer.

The Napean are a partially empathic race from the Alpha or Beta Quadrants. Presumably, they are physically similar to most humanoids excepting their having a large, leaf-shaped forehead ridge.

Starfleet Lieutenant Daniel Kwan was half-Human and half-Napean hybrid. (TNG: "Eye of the Beholder")

A crewmember serving on board the Nebula class USS Lexington was also of Napean descent. (DS9: "Explorers")

Another Napean was part of Kasidy Yates crew aboard the Xhosa. (DS9: "Family Business")

According to Daniel Kwan's personnel file seen in the episode, Daniel Kwan was a native of Psi Upsilon IV. This may suggest that the Psi Upsilon system is the homeworld of the Napean species.
Napeans have appeared in several novels, and in the non-canon game "Star Trek: Elite Force II", a Napean is the chief of security for Starfleet Academy.
