Kurg Utal served as an aide to Ziton Moj, the crime lord of the Black Sun organization, during the era of the Clone Wars. Following the successful rescue of Marg Krim's offspring, Vram and Laalee, from the Black Sun fortress situated on Mustafar by the bounty hunter Asajj Ventress and the Jedi Quinlan Vos, Utal informed his superior about what had transpired. Ziton then instructed Utal to command the execution of Tezzka Krim, the final Krim hostage, as a message to Marg. However, before Kurg could fulfill these directives, Ventress infiltrated the throne room, posing as a negotiator from the Pyke Syndicate. Upon welcoming the negotiator, Ziton commanded Utal to retrieve Tezzka for the purpose of eliminating both her and the "negotiator." Kurg departed the room, and subsequently, Ventress and Vos reappeared with Tezzka and launched an attack on Ziton and his forces. After subduing them, Ventress and Vos escaped Mustafar alongside the freed hostages, returning to Krim's base on Oba Diah.
