It is unknown when he was born. He was the older brother of Bronau Jimajen. When he was younger, Prince Rubinyan served in the armies with Mequen Balitang, and was good friends with the other man. He was married twice. His first marriage yielded at least one son, Varwick Jimajen. His second marriage was to the Rittevon princess, Imajane Rittevon, the only surviving daughter of King Oron. Their marriage was childless. He had a strained relationship with his brother, Prince Bronau.

Rise to Prince Regent

In 462 HE, King Oron died and named his heir to be Prince Hazarin, Imajane's half-brother. When King Hazarin died, he had named his heir as Dunevon Rittevon, his youngest surviving half-brother, with Rubinyan and Imajane as his regency council if Hazarin died before Dunevon was of age to rule. Hazarin died naturally of an apoplexy, but was pleased that folk would suspect Rubinyan and Imajane of having him assassinated, as he hated the two.

Rubinyan's brother, Bronau, tried desperately to claim power by attempting to kidnap King Dunevon. Bronau was caught before this could come to fruition and fled to Tanair, where the Balitang family were staying in their exile. Rubinyan and Imajane did not invite the Balitangs back from their exile, as they believed Bronau would come out of the woodwork there. After a fateful battle at Tanair, both Bronau and Duke Mequen were killed. After this, Rubinyan visited the family at Tanair personally and invited them back to Rajmuat with his sincerest apologies. He cared for Mequen deeply, so this did have an actual effect on him. Duchess Winnamine, Mequen's widow, accepted the invitation to return with her household and children, Sarai, Dove, Petranne, and Elsren Balitang, the latter who was the new Duke Balitang because of his father's death.

They hire mages to sink the boy king's ship during an outing, killing both Dunevon and Elsren. Aly of Pirate's Swoop discovers that Kyprioth gave them the idea in order to make it easier for the raka to take back control of the Copper Isles. Because the king and his heir are dead, the prince and princess regent became King and Queen of the Copper Isles.
