Krux Naykin is a Hiderid businessman boasting a radiant plumage and beady eyes hiding snugly behind round glasses. His good-humoured nature and altruistic heart make him a rather strange entrepreneur in the world of warring Hiderid corporations, but his croaky laugh has won him many friends and he retains a keen sense of opportunity.
He started his life as a chef working amongst the dregs of
Bluereach, on
Hakaria . After having bought his own restaurant, Krux Naykin managed to climb the ladder of success relatively unexpectedly through the sheer popularity of his original recipes making creative use of Venture's arid environment and all manners of edible things native to it. He introduced a potent spice,
chopi, from a local crop on the Boshaari world
Yanta which became a kitchen favourite overnight.
To secure more of the precious spice and a larger share of the profits, Krux made several deals with the people of Yanta. He looked towards an unlikely industry to solve his supply problem : prison labour. Learning the fact that the Boshaari penal system was in the midst of a chronic overcrowding problem, he travelled to the Boshaari moon, where he met with the coarse leader of Wellabel, Lensa Yelven. Wary of outsiders, she initially repelled his business advances but generous donations changed Yelven's mind. Together, they founded the Yanta Frontier Company and built a "humane, fair prison" onsite, where the inmates cultivate and sell the spice to Naykin at a cutthroat price.
Krux Naykin is the father of Hiderid operative and former
Hexo-Geni, Inc whistleblower
Kil Naykin. He is a distant relative of the second Coalition President,
Aar Naykin.
