Aran Krall

General
Aran Krall was a detective in Stellis for roughly three and a half years before he ran afoul of Sphynx and was forced to retire. Focusing on investigations about marriage status, whereabouts, and backgrounds, Aran had a bad reputation throughout his time in the business, using questionable and illegal means like falsification of evidence to complete jobs. Though his actions were obvious enough to get him caught, Aran knows the law and is talented in skirting it and being untraceable, and charges against him were dropped for lack of evidence. The case that finally ended his career involved an executive's divorce; Aran had fabricated evidence that his client's wife was cheating, but the lie was easily revealed thanks to a setup by Sphynx.

After being forced out of detective life, Aran was contacted by Oedipus and began harassing the family of his ill-fated divorce case in hopes they would know a way to contact Sphynx. Though the effort failed, it caused him to cross paths with Ted Sadin, who had begun his own efforts to draw Sphynx out in order to stop Aran's harassment of his girlfriend's family. Aran's attempt to get at Sphynx through Ted resulted in his arrest when he encountered Luke Pearce, who had been following Ted for similar reasons.

Luke would later go on to ask Aran for help falsely revealing his own identity as Sphynx in a trap for Oedipus, offering Aran another chance to be a detective on Sphynx's behalf, a deal which Aran accepted and upheld his end of.
