Ivra Kerav was a Ruddy Orion man who lived in the late 23rd century in the Orion Colony on Daros IV. He was a member of the Kerav Family, one of the ruling Five Families. Though he was born on Daros IV to a lesser, cadet branch of the Kerav Family, Ivra left Daros for the main Orion worlds at a young age to seek adventure and build a fortune. At one point, Ivra dealt with Starfleet Intelligence agent Michael Thorn on the Orion homeworld. In time, Ivra rose to command an Orion privateer and developed a reputation as a ruthless and daring captain. This continued until a raid turned into disaster, and Ivra lost his ship and nearly his life.
