Jan Kincade

Jan Kincade was a human female from the Star Trek: Titan novel The Poisoned Chalice.

Kincade was a Lieutenant Colonel (equivalent to a Starfleet Lieutenant Commander) in the Starfleet Ground Forces. Working heavily in special forces, Kincade was suspected of a number of illegal activities that should have ended her career. However Kincade had a guardian angel somewhere in the Federation government that protected her and kept her in a Starfleet uniform.

After the assassination of President Bacco in 2385, Kincade was tapped by Presidential Chief of Staff Galif jav Velk to assemble a black ops team called Active Four. She told the people recruited into the team - including Tuvok, Nog, and Thomas Riker - that their orders were to hunt down the people responsible for the assassination of President Nanietta Bacco and bring them to justice. What the members of Active Four did not realize was that Velk and Kincade intended to torture information out of the assassins before killing them.

Determined to keep Baras Rodirya from being exposed, she tortured Cardassian True Way operatives to death with the help of renegade Klingons. Upon seeing the evidence of her torturing prisoners to death Tuvok, Nog, and Riker turned against her and tried to get the prisoners back to Federation space.

Kincade tried to kill Tuvok. Before doing so she wanted to see if Tuvok felt pain and if Vulcan blood was really green. She was shot and killed by Nog before she could kill Tuvok. Her body was destroyed in an orbital bombardment of the penal colony where she and her allies had been torturing the True Way operatives by Klingons loyal to Chancellor Martok.
