Background
Not much is known about Krev's past, although it is known that he was formerly a Vigilant of Stendarr beforehand. Krev founded the Silver Hand with his friend Colonel August.

Events of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
Krev has become a bitter, hateful man by the time of 4E 201. He hates all werewolves, and openly hunts them. When the Dragonborn joins The Companions, Krev traps him and Farkas in dustman's cairn, to be killed by Draugr. Krev escapes, but is encountered again later on.

Final Encounter
When the Dragonborn becomes a member of The Circle, and therefore a werewolf, he rampages through Whiterun, smashes through the gate, and flees all the way to Eastmarch. Skjor and Aela find him here, but Skjor discovers a Silver Hand castle and charges in. Aela and the Dragonborn go after him, and after a long search, find him dead in Krev's "throne room".

Death
The Dragonborn goes into a fit of rage over his mentor's death, and begins vigorously slashing at Krev. Krev throws our various insults and counter attacks, but is ultimately caught of guard during the fight and killed.
