Ki-Ta Kren was an Abyssin pirate of the male persuasion. During the renewed war that occurred between the Galactic Republic and the resurgent Sith Empire, he functioned as a taskmaster within the ranks of the White Maw. He participated in the Blooding, a Byss fighting ritual, with Reneget Vause, a Trandoshan of the White Maw; following this, they shared a bond akin to that of blood brothers. Ki-Ta Kren found himself stationed on Hoth in 3642 BBY, where he oversaw the crashed dreadnaught Star of Coruscant, which the White Maw utilized as their main operational hub. A bounty hunter contacted him, aiming to claim a Blacklist reward for Vause's capture, but requiring assistance to provoke a confrontation. Ki-Ta Kren proposed that the Hunter join him in the Blooding, with the intention of ensuring he would have at least one remaining brother after the impending battle. Following the ritual, he sent word to Vause, directing him to the location where he would meet the hunter. After Vause's defeat, Kren departed from the White Maw.
