Krieger Thrax
Krieger 'Krash' Thrax (sometimes spelt Kriegar[1a] or Crash[1b]) was a Chrono-gladiator and adversary of Kal Jerico.[2]
Biography
Krieger Thrax was originally the bodyguard of a tech-smuggler, caught by a Skitarii patrol on Gryphonne IV and sentenced to become a Chrono-gladiator. After his initial discomfort he soon settled into his new role, managing to beat the self-destruct clock every time.[1b]
He was obtained by Madame Inquisitor Jena Orechiel after much difficulty and expense, who instructed him to kill her son Kal Jerico to put his abilities fully to the test.[3]
Thrax smashed his way through the wall of Sump Hole, the bar where Kal and Scabbs were at the time, and shouted his intention to kill him. While being chased by Thrax, Kal reached the edge of a pit surrounding a power conduit,jumped across the gap and caught hold of a ladder rung a little way down the conduit.[3]
Thrax went after him, cutting into the power conduit oblivious to the danger, only to be blasted by the super heated geo-thermal energy pumped up from Necromunda's molten core and plummet in flames down the conduit's pit, while Kal was sheltered by the torn metal of the conduit's cover.[3]
It is possible that he either made his way to Necromunda before being obtained by Inquisitor Orechiel or survived the shock, subsequent burning fall, and impending death-clock, as he is known as one of Kal Jerico's long-time enemies[2] and they were seen duelling by the giant gears of a factory hab.[1c]
Weapons & Equipment
Equipped by the Adeptus Mechanicus, Krash was fitted with two power claws, a stubber implanted in his left arm and a hand flamer implanted in his right, though neither weapon had a reload.[1b]
In addition, Thrax was fitted with a rebreather and his right leg was bionic.[1b]
