Krel Scrinae

IC Backstory
Krel Scrinae is perhaps something of an oddity when it comes to Quarren, in that the pragmatic nature for which his species are known motivated him to take up with the Mon Calamari after the Empire had been driven from their homeworld. If he was going to be leaving he was going to take everything that he could learn that he might need out there first. First in assisting in the repair of the floating cities, then in going to the orbiting shipyards where construction and repair were taking place, he gradually learned the trade of the engineer, of repairing and improving, and of course the all-mighty Whack-It technique, taught to him by a wizened and venerable master of hydrospanner-fu. In the process he was exposed to several languages not native to his homeworld, learning them as part of his trade or in order to understand what those he worked with were saying.

It took some time after Krel had been properly graduated to get a posting on a ship, and so he spent approximately six months aboard one of the orbital shipyards, applying what he was taught. It did wear thin after that time, and thus when a posting aboard a freighter opened up he took it. The next several years of his life were spent working on one ship or another, moving on when a better post presented itself, or the ship he crewed on was in some manner or other lost. Most were not military vessels by any stretch of imagination, the work of a ship's engineer is so very seldom glamorous when one is not working for the military or a cruise line.

Ingame (RPed) Distant History
Stranded on Caspar after vessel he was serving on was confiscated for loan default, Krel once more sought work. This time it came in the form of a cargo pilot named Taria Kacardi. Taria worked for FineLine Spaceways, based on Caspar, and was in need of a competent engineer to assist her astromech in keeping her Nestt-class freighter (Bad Seed) plying the trade lanes. Its name perfectly matched the demeanor of its pilot, whose most notable exploits included stun-blasting a chauvenistic cargo handler, dragging her engineer bodily to meet Leia Organa, and defusing an attempt to get her dinner group thrown out of the Red Dragon on Corellia by laying one of the agitators out cold.

After some months with FLS, Krel unexpectedly recieved an invitation to dinner at Ruathen's, a very upscale restraunt on Coruscant. It was only on arrival that he became aware that not only was the invitation not misdelivered, but the dinner date was a job interview with Merr-Sonn in disguise. It was only after research that Krel learned the identity of his interviewer, the then-COO Gimel Daleth. During the last days before his separation from FLS became final, the Bad Seed contracted to deliver materials to the Republic and Imperial warships which had docked at Theseus Station in Etti IV for repairs. He departed the ship with the last load of the deliveries, leaving behind ship engineering to go work with weapons systems.

The transfer to Merr-Sonn would prove to be beneficial for both company and Quarren, as it brought him into a field of engineering where he proved to possess an aptitude both for the physics and economics involved. Having worked more with ships than with weapons systems as his focus, Krel was never the less able to pick up enough to contribute to efforts which took place within the department. During this time he kept in regular contact with the Rodian which had hired him, Daleth adopted as a mentor by the Quarren. It was through this relationship that his ability to effectively communicate with technicians and executives alike developed, and his ability to spot solutions to problems was noticed. Thus it was communication, understanding, and problem-solving that saw Krel Scrinae was elevated to Administrator of Merr-Sonn's Research and Development branch, not exceptional engineering prowess.

During the time that Gimel Daleth had taken a mistress, Krel was becoming increasingly involved with the quest to regain Caspar weapons contracts lost with the departure of a previous CEO. To show commitment to winning the contracts, Gimel, Krel, and a number of other employees from various facilities relocated to Caspar, assisting with the evaluation of the M434 blaster pistol for adoption by the CDU military, and construction of the logistical facilities to support anticipated demand. During this, the only difference in the standard use of telepresence and emergency personal visits for organizing Merr-Sonn was the location of origin.

Ingame (RPed) Recent History
As the pregnancy of Gimel Daleth's mistress Tuzzi progressed, the Rodian mentor and now CEO prevailed more upon the Quarren administrator and apprentice-in-business for assistance in her care. By delegating more responsibilities to those that had the competence and free attention to give them, Krel was able to find the time to personally make the preparations for Tuzzi's arrival on Caspar. Once arrived and settled, he was responsible for finding and arranging activities that would keep her from neglect, and enable Daleth to effectively balance time between Tuzzi and Merr-Sonn. When not tending to Tuzzi or looking in on some portion of Merr-Sonn's affairs, Krel is equally likely to be enjoying water in some form, taking a meal alone or while discussing business with the CEO, or puting in time at one shooting range or another. The nervous engineer that was first hired is no longer present, in its place is a much more poised, dignified, and decisive Quarren. By all indications, Krel has been learning more than just business from his Rodian mentor.

Current (RPed) Events
The Quarren has gone missing, along with the CEO's mistress, Tuzzi. The reason for this is simple enough, in that they were kidnapped from Caspar while on a shopping excursion. Said kidnappers were intercepted before reaching hyperspace, however used threat upon the lives of their hostages to force the CDU Navy to allow them to transit. They have since disappeared.
