Biography[]
Early life[]
Not much is known about Krew during his early life, But even as a child, he was quite obese, At some point he either inherited or founded the Krew crime family. Eventually becoming rivals with fellow crime lord, Mizo.
Meeting Jak[]
Torn, one of the Underground's generals assigned Jak and Daxter to pressure Krew for information under the guise of sending on a delivering job. Krew instead hired Jak to be one of his goons, which Jak agreed to. Jak would then frequently switch between working for the underground and doing dirty jobs for Krew, both to spy on Krew for more information and to get more weapons. Krew sent Jak to a mechanic at the racing stadium who turned out to be Keira.
Final Moments And Death[]
Jak later confronted him at the Weapons Factory, Where Krew showed off the Piercer Bomb him and the Baron had been working on, explaining his plans to Jak and giving him a gun upgrade to bribe him into forgetting what he saw, Jak refused to do so. Sparking a fight between the two.
Upon his defeat, Krew revealed that he'd betrayed the whole City with Jak and Daxter escaped the Weapons Factory before the Piercer Bomb exploded, Leaving Krew to die at the hand of his own creation.
The true extent of Krew's betrayal was revealed shortly after his own death. Krew had sent Sig on a suicide mission to open an underground passageway which unknown to Sig the Metal Heads would use enter Haven City, in doing so double crossing Baron Praxis and dooming those within Haven City.
Krew's opening of the underwater passageways was also a major factor to Count Veger banishing Jak from Haven City, as at the time Jak was still one of Krew's goons which Veger used to frame Jak for the Metal Head attacks that destroyed most of the city one year after Krew's death.
Kras City[]
Two years after Krew's death, Jak and Friends were gathered in Kras City, where they'd all view Krew's post-humous recording, and have a toast to the Crime Lord. Shortly after the toast, He revealed that he had poisoned all the drinks (except for his daughter's) He talked about how he and Mizo wanted the same things in life, so they settled on a bet in order to avoid a costly gang war between one another. Whoever's team wins will take the loser's criminal empire and the loser will "crawl back to the hole they came out of."

Trivia[]
- According the developer’s commentary of Jak X, his hologram appearances are created by two separate scenes, one with all the characters except Krew and another with Krew by a purple background. Krew was extracted from the purple background and inserted into the cutscenes.
- The developers decided that Krew would posthumously poison Jak and his friends before the Grand Prix starts because they thought it was more personal rather than him setting up a bomb.
