Kulan was a male Bajoran who lived in the 24th century. He was an officer in the Bajoran Militia under the command of Colonel Lenaris Holem.

In 2371, Kulan was part of a militia detachment sent to capture Shakaar Edon and members of Shakaar's former resistance cell at the orders of acting First Minister Winn Adami. When Shakaar, Kira Nerys, and Holem met to discuss a truce the troops under Holem's command kept a watch on the surrounding hills. Kulan panicked and opened fire on Shakaar's compatriots with his phaser. Shakaar, Kira, and Holem kept the situation from spiraling out of control.

Following this Holem ordered his aide to take Kulan's phaser from him and remove him from the scene. (DS9 episode: "Shakaar")
