Kir Kanos was an Emperor's Royal Guard and the final loyal member of the guard after their ultimate betrayal at Yinchorr by their fellow guardsman Carnor Jax. After swearing an oath to hunt down the traitor and bring him to justice, Kanos became the most wanted man in the Galaxy, after a massive bounty was put on his head by the Imperial Remnant. However, his skills helped him stay alive, and he eventually caught up with Jax and engaged him in a final duel. Kanos slew the would be Emperor, avenging his brothers.

However, Kanos then set out to eliminate everyone that had helped accelerate the Emperor's ultimate death, specifically targeting the Imperial Ruling Council. With a sizeable bounty on his head, Kanos went undercover as Kenix Kil, eventually making a name for himself in bounty hunting circles. It was with this alias that Kanos was finally able to infiltrate the council and execute the traitors within, especially Xandel Carivus, who planned to take the throne. With his main work complete, Kanos continued to search for traitors to the Emperor, hoping to one day face Luke Skywalker and avenge the Emperor's death.
