Only child of a ranking engineer in Kuat, heir to a large fortune and business operation, orphaned at a very young age after the Empire seized control of Kuat's ship production facilities. Brought up to the care of trusted servant after the Imperial forces drove off those that resisted the taking, Kru's parents were forced in labor mines while Kru, grew up in the junk yards learning a rough trade of ferrying scraps and material to and from shipyards around Kuat.
He grew a reputation for succesfully comandeering condemned ships that are no longer spaceworthy. He has the cunning ability to fly impossible runs that are by normal calculation, impossible. This reputation, nearly cost him his life which led him to the Imperial fold.
Served in the Imperial fleet for four years as a well decorated fighter pilot but later retreating to a less exposed service as his rank in the Imperial navy progressed.

His charm and charisma in dealing with all beings he encountered made him sparringly popular but there was always something mysterious about him that he never let the Empire knew.

He had the drive to steal Imperial hardware so their band of mutineers can have a chance in an event of a firefight in deep space. He ordered loyal technicians to improve it's handling and make it more reliable in space combat. During the debriefing of his test flight, he blamed faulty controls and navigational instability led to its demise of the craft he was piloting.
