Raian (ライアン, Raian) is the younger brother of Gordin and a fresh recruit into the 7th Platoon of the Altean knights, inspired to join by his brother's stories of the War of Shadows.
One year after the War of Shadows, Raian joined the Altean army to begin training as a knight, following Gordin's path. He was assigned to the 7th Platoon, with other cadets like Rody, Ruke, Katarina and another recruit. Near the end of their training, Raian and the 7th platoon helped protect Marth from an assassination attempt by Eine.
A year later, as in Mystery of the Emblem, Raian was part of the retinue of knights who accompanied Marth on his initial expedition to Grust, and remained in the army for the rest of the War of Heroes.
As with a number of other characters in New Mystery of the Emblem, there is a unique weapon named for Raian available through Everyone's Conditions: Raian's Bow.
An unofficial romanization which is the more commonly used name for the character among the fandom, given the obvious mistake in the official "Raian" and that "Ryan" is the logical romanization, being an actual name.
