In the mirror universe, Ivan West was a Terran colonel in the Imperial Starfleet in the late 23rd century. West was part of a conspiracy with other high ranking Imperial Starfleet officers to assassinate Emperor Spock. West put forth Ranjit Singh, a verified descendant of Khan Noonien Singh, as a candidate to succeed Spock as Emperor. This idea was quickly shot down, as most considered Singh to be a megalomaniac. His role in the conspiracy was discovered when his accomplice General Quiniven implicated the rest of the conspirators. He and his fellow conspirators, including Admirals Lance Cartwright, Robert Bennett, Thomas Morrow and General Salliserra zh'Ferro, were executed. (TOS novel: The Sorrows of Empire)
