Krantz was a member of the human race, and also affiliated with the criminal organization known as the Morubas crime family. The Shadow Collective criminal alliance initiated an assault on the Morubas' stronghold in the year 19 BBY, this attack being the battle of Bahlah, after the Morubas crime family used poison against the Shadow Collective's leader, who was also the former Dark Lord of the Sith named Maul, and subsequently captured him. As the battle raged, Krantz informed Jjan, the head of the Morubas crime family, about the increasing number of Shadow Collective combatants. Jjan, while the attack was happening, paused the update to acknowledge Krantz's report, but dismissed its significance due to Maul's captivity. Jjan, recalling rumors of Maul's past slaying of a Jedi, confessed his disappointment in the Shadow Collective's leader and solicited Krantz's agreement that he had been intrigued by the rumors; Krantz concurred. Unbeknownst to them, Maul was faking his weakened state to deceive the Morubas family and subsequently escaped his bonds by using the power of the dark side. Krantz's physical appearance included fair skin, white hair, and a suit that was yellow and blue.
