Childhood:
Born on Stardate 2361.07.14 in Manchester, England, Terra. Sirius Krell was the seventh of eleven children in his family. Quiet and unassuming Krell spent much of his free time reading and otherwise pursuing scholarly pursuits. He was often known to his family, as the little brother that everyone forgot, even his parents were known to at times forget about him.
Being a part of a large and loving family gave Sirius a solid background and as might be expected a strong sense of family. Unlike his older brothers and sisters Sirius was never interested in team sports but this did not mean that he was not athletic. In fact he enrolled Ju Jitsu at the age of six years old and his continued his practice of that Martial art throughout his life. Some of the proudest moments of young Sirius’ life were when he brought home several gold medals, for wins in several prestigious competitions held across Europe.
Academically Krell excelled as well and it seemed that there was little that he could not do well be it math, sciences, history or even art. So it was of little surprise to his family when at the tender age of sixteen Krell was offered a full scholarship to Oxford University.
At Oxford University:
For his first two years at Oxford, Krell remained uncommitted and concentrated on getting his basic courses out of the way and adjusting to college life and life away from home. For a boy who had grown up in a crowded house surrounded by siblings dorm life was no challenge. While still quiet and unassuming Krell made friends easily and found that all in all he enjoyed college.
Eventually, Sirius settled into his course work working on a double major, pursuing a Masters in Economics and an MBA.
Krell, Graduated from Oxford with a 3.82 GPA.
Starfleet Marines:
After college Krell shocked friends and family by enlisting in the Starfleet Marines. After the six-month training program on Mars, Sirius went on to serve on a number of worlds and in numerous combat operations. Within two years Sirius had earned a commission and at the end of his six years of service held the rank of Captain.
During his time in the Marines, Krell served in several high profile units, including the Hell Hounds and the 3rd Blackguard Regiment. He made many friends and cultivated many contacts, most of whom he remains in contact with even to this day.
His commanders often described Krell as a cool and levelheaded warrior who never allowed his personal feelings to get in the way of his mission. It is a trait that Krell has built a solid reputation on.
Advanced Aerospatial Engineering:
Directly out of Starfleet Krell took a position with AAE as a Design Manager for the Trojan-7 Marine Assault Transport. With his education and experience Krell was able to completely revitalize the project, which had been in danger of being dropped and within eleven months AAE had won a lucrative contract to produce the Transport for the Starfleet Marines.
Krell went on to work as the Design Manager on two more projects before being offered the position of Executive Vice President in charge of Contract Procurement. Krell spent the rest of his time with AAE a troubleshooter working extensively with different projects while trying to win new contracts for AAE. It was during this time that Krell gained an intimate knowledge of starships and starship construction.
System Enterprises:
Krell was enticed away from his position with AAE by one Wellan Maaliss who was the President and CEO of System Enterprises based on Terra but with many facilities throughout the Federation. System Enterprises had many shipping contracts with AAE and Krell had gotten to know and respect the older man.
Maaliss Convinced Sirius to move to Trill and take over System Enterprises' Trill Faculty. His new position as Regional Vice President of Shipping Operations was a different from anything he’d ever done. He worked hard and with Maaliss as a mentor and he learned first hand how to build and operate a successful shipping business.
It was also during this time that he met Maaliss’ daughter Sandra and in a whirlwind romance the two were married less than a year after they met. For ten years Sirius lived, worked and built a life with Sandra on Trill. Unfortunately tragedy struck in the form of Barrett’s Syndrome and within six weeks of the diagnosis Sandra died late one evening in Sirius’ arms.
After Sandra's memorial service Krell resigned from System Enterprises, said goodbye to the grieving Wellan Maaliss, and left Trill a broken man.
