Kol Tal faithfully served as the majordomo for the Trinivii Kajidic's holdings on Nar Kresh for many years, doing his best to make sure the kajidic's gladiators made a good showing of themselves within the arenas. He was frequently conflicted between doing a good job and having to follow Sivvi Trinivii Socha's sometimes questionable commands. Things finally came to a head after one of the kajidic's most promising gladiators, Skarrek, went feral after the loss of Ket Maliss. When Sivvi commanded Kol to take Skarrek out of isolation and fight again, with no apparent plan on how to accomplish it, he knew he had to something to bring attention to Sivvi's mismanagement.
