Nian is a human who was part of the militia that Rowan Bossesus formed to attack the underminers
History
Pre-Ascent of the Goblin King
Before 2850, Nian was raided by Goblins (Underminers) which resulted in his daughter was kidnapped and later escaped back home. In response, Nian formed a group to take on the goblins underground with his daughter now knowing the way in. Nian was the only one to make it back out, leaving some psychological scaring.

In 2850, Nian was part of the militia that Rowan Bossesus formed after forming a plan with a group of salamanders led by Furna. Brenwin along with other members of the militia (such as Brenwin, Aeron, Osian, and Elis) joined Furna's crew into the Underminer's tunnels.
Nian previously knew the way to the entrance due to the past attempt which helped lead the group in. Igne, one of the salamander's, was able to sense the magical escence of Magwa's prod, which guided them into the right direction through the tunnels. After walking deeper through the tunnels, the group came upon a pale-looking goblin looking panicked and scared.
Before Rowan could grab it, the goblin turned and ran down another tunnel, suddenly a wave of more pale-skinned panicked goblins who attacked the group with crude spears and weapons. Brenwin was wounded resulting in his father, Osian, and Elis carrying him back to the surface.
The group continued and came upon a large abandoned chamber. Noticing it was recent abandoned, the group searched the room. Aeron found a silver tray that goblins stole from him last year, recognising the crest of Primovantor. Upon further investigation, the group discovered a treasure trove of items which were worth enough for Furna's crew to buy a boat and the farmers to afford additional defences for the future.
It is assumed that Nian, along the rest of the militia and the salamander's crew, gathered up the treasure and left with the exception of Furna, Igne, Rowan and Berusk who carried on with the hunt for the Grogger Split-Tooth and the goblins.
