Vanus Cruor was a male gangster who ascended the ranks of the galactic crime syndicate known as the Exchange to become one of its top agents. During the Cold War between the Sith Empire and the Galactic Republic, the Corellian Security Force possessed a holo-image of Cruor's first meeting with a Rattataki assassin, Kaliyo Djannis. The image depicted Cruor with his arm around the armed woman while she held up a bottle of wine so he could drink from it.
