Kimiiki Crei
From TheHolo.Net Forums Wiki
Kimiiki Crei, also known as The Velvet Crimelord, is the head of the Crei Syndicate (a crime organization just large enough to be noticed by the Empire, but small enough to not be considered a threat). He has been enemies with Aurelias Kazaar for many years.
Kazaar and Kimiiki Crei
- "The first time I saw 'Little Bren', I knew it was yours...Did you know Adelaide told him you were dead? Poor poor child. But I was his surrogate father in a way. I played with him, took him (at times) on walks when his mother was busy...I was more of a father to him, than you ever got the chance to be. And all so I could say to you one day, 'Look at what I did. Look at how I got to be around your dead son'...Shame...such a shame."
- ―Kimiiki Crei to Aurelias Kazaar
The relationship between Aurelias Kazaar and Kimiiki Crei has always been acrimonious at its best, and downright hatred at its worst. Neither has ever been willing to explain why they loath the other but the impetus may have been while both were young bounty hunters. Crei had always had an eye on Kazaar's partner Ashley, but the affection was never returned and the young Kazaar always viewed Crei as a lech and someone who gave bounty hunters a bad name.
Throughout the years, especially after 'The Velvet Bounty Hunter' became 'The Velvet Crime Lord', both Kazaar and Crei needled at each other. Whether it was Kazaar using fake transponders of ship's he knew Crei owned or breaking up slaver Crei was scheduled to buy from to Crei's failed attempt at killing Kazaar, it was evident the two were slowly headed towards outright open conflict.
Then Adelaide happened. When Kazaar and Adelaide Kasperian-Kazaar married, then divorced, Crei saw it as an opportunity. Unbeknown to either Kazaar, Crei positioned himself to benefit the most from their break up (especially after learning Adelaide was pregnant and the child, Bren, very ill). The Albino made sure he was there to take care of little Bren, even if he knew Adelaide hated him for it (but wouldn't go back to Kazaar). After the Albino lost out on rescuing Estelle Russard from the clutches of slavers he was affiliated with, Crei kidnapped Bren and forced Adelaide to go back to Kazaar, only to put himself in position to kill his enemy.
The bounty hunter responded as he always did: hunting down and killing all those in his way. Estelle helped Adelaide save Bren, while Kazaar went to Crei's massive estate and started blowing things (and people) up. After fighting through a variety of Crei's minions, Kazaar finally faced off with Crei. The two battled for several minutes before Kazaar (seemingly) killed the Albino, only to discover it was a Human Replica Droid. Crei had escaped and injured Kazaar so much, he was unable to meet Bren before his son died of his illness.
Several months later, Kazaar went after Crei again only to discover Adelaide had beaten him to the punch and slit the Albino's neck. The battle between Crei and Kazaar appears to be over.
