The leader of a group of Brenari telepaths whom Voyager secretly carries through Devore space in 2375, hiding them in transporter suspension during each inspection.
Kir appears in the fifth-season Voyager episode Counterpoint, played by Randy Oglesby. He speaks for a dozen Brenari refugees, among them several children, who are fleeing the Devore Imperium, where telepathy is treated as a crime.
Captain Janeway has agreed to take them to a wormhole that leads out of Devore territory. Whenever Inspector Kashyk's teams board the ship, the Brenari and Voyager's own telepaths are held as patterns in the transporter buffer, a strain Kir accepts though he knows repeated suspension is damaging their bodies.
He supplies what his people know about the wandering wormhole and about the scientist Torat, who can help to predict where it will next appear. Kir is rightly wary when Kashyk claims to defect, and he and the others escape by shuttle while the Devore search an empty ship.
