Kerlay Utanks was a proprietor of a kitchen appliance shop located within the city of Svitalos, the capital on the planet of Fwillsving, back in 22 BBY. During that year, the limmie team representing Fwillsving secured a victory against the team from the planet of Kubindi by a narrow margin of just one point during the initial stage of the Galactic Cup of Limmie. This win sparked a riot that devastated Svitalos. Utanks, joining the ranks of the four million revelers who expressed their joy through acts of looting, vandalism, and street partying, commemorated the event by setting off several thermal detonators inside his very own establishment. When approached for a statement by a journalist from HoloNet News, Utanks simply reiterated his feelings of intense elation. HoloNet News covered the incident on 13:3:14 GrS.
The character Kerlay Utanks appeared in the article titled "Coruscant Eliminated in Galactic Cup Opening Round," which was penned by Pablo Hidalgo and [Paul Ens]. It was featured in HoloNet News Vol. 531 47 and disseminated through the HoloNet News website on March 14 of 2002.
