Originally worked in the Eastern Quadrant's naval segment. [2] Initially a Titleless Chatcaavan soldier among many, he was rewarded for good work with a post guarding the Emperor's harem. Having been summoned to the Queen's Tower and judged by both the Emperor and his Queen Ransomed, he is gifted the title of Knife and charged with the Queen's safety[1]. In this role, he sends for Uuvek to handle the Queen's security, and is responsible for assembling the escape plan for the harem and the Emperor's children.

After the end of the Chatcaavan-Alliance war, he is gifted with a new title, the Liaison to the Alliance, and stays with the crew and his friend Laniis Baker [4].
