After the death of his beloved wife Krell moved around from world to world never staying in one place for long. With very few exceptions he spent most of that time intoxicated. Eventually he found himself on Orion where he stayed for some months as his alcoholism raged out of control. 

After spending a week in a medical facility after nearly succumbing to acute alcohol poisoning, Krell met Pretenzia Nivalla an Orion who was also an operative and recruiter for the Orion Syndicate. Nivalla used both her persuasive powers and her feminine skills to lure Krell into a torrid affair as well as recruiting him into the Syndicate.

For the next three years Krell worked as an operative for the Syndicate, acting as a roving troubleshooter. Never in one place for longer than a month or two Sirius learned to live again, although he was still only a shadow of his former self. Life became a game to Sirius in which he engaged in one mission after another, his entire life outlook became meeting or surpassing the goals set before him by his employers and then moving on to the next assignment. Money became simply a way of keeping score and in a very short period of time Sirius was winning the game.

It was during a mission to Andoria that Krell met one Milton Pettigrew, a merchant Captain who was looking at expanding his business. The two became friends and after some time Krell decided to go to work for Pettigrew full time while still taking the occasional assignment from the Syndicate.

After several years together, Krell and Pettigrew had become so successful that they had begun building a merchant fleet under the Corporate name of Pettigrew Transport Systems. This build-up culminated in the purchase of a retired Federation Excelsior Class starship that had been in mothballs at the fleet storage facility at Vega. It took months to refit the vessel and convert her to use as a merchant vessel, while still leaving her weapons and tactical systems intact, but in the end it proved to be a shrewd decision. In her first cruise the newly commissioned IMS Circe went to the aid of another merchant vessel under attack by pirates and easily destroyed two of the three attacking raiders.    

After another two years Krell did what he did best, handling problems and acting as the company’s troubleshooter. Whether it was convincing reluctant clients to pay their tabs, or negotiating delicate trade agreements, Sirius moved around the Alpha quadrant never staying on one place for too long. It was the chance to land a lucrative trade agreement that would lead Krell to take on his most challenging assignment yet.
