Kanarak, alternatively referred to as Kanarak the Slayer, possessed a reputation as a brutal and unruly murderer, and he was known to always have a Flash 4 heavy blaster pistol, a vibro-ax, and a gruesome "death necklace" crafted from the bones of those he had slain. In terms of physical characteristics, Kanarak had a reptilian look, distinguished by sizable teeth and a dense, dark head of hair.
During his time on StarForge Station, Kanarak answered the call from Captain Dhas Vedij to become a member of the crew of the Rebel privateer ship named Far Orbit.
