Karrison Lee was a contraband runner known for his love of games of chance, despite his lack of skill. He frequented the Ace of Sabres cantina located on the world of Kluistar.
On at least three separate occasions, the Galactic Empire had incarcerated him, yet he consistently broke free. Furthermore, he experienced betrayal and sell-outs by associates and companions numerous times, resulting in a deep-seated hesitancy to place his confidence in others.
Karrin embodied the stereotypical bold smuggler archetype, with a penchant for virtually all forms of wagering, though success eluded him. He possessed a friendly and affable demeanor; however, his profession and past experiences made him wary of engaging in deeper conversations. He demonstrated a willingness to transport nearly any cargo to any destination, provided the compensation met his expectations.
He possessed a customized YT-2000 light freighter named the Distant Sunrise. Additionally, he carried with him a high-powered blaster pistol.
The characters of Karrison Lee was conceptualized by Paul Danner and Bill Smith for Wretched Hives of Scum & Villainy, an expansion for the Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game released by West End Games during the year 1997.
