Ornery and ill-tempered, Orvar’s personality is well suited to his role as the “demolition and discovery specialist” for the OxKrewe. Orvar’s job is straightforward – when the crew finds a salvage site, he is the one who goes in to break it apart and dig out the treasures that may be hiding inside. The work agrees with Orvar, since blowing things up is one of only two things he enjoys – the other being complaining about the “horrible conditions” of the homeworld that he escaped from before joining the OxKrewe.

As one of the six surviving members of the OxKrewe, Orvar knows that they must all pull together if they hope to survive long enough to be rescued. Finding some of his explosive charges amongst the wreckage of the Qorgonox, Orvar adapts these into traps which he places around their camp. While these explosives are meant to keep the OxKrewe safe, the vibrations made from the detonations of these traps end up attracting attention to the crew’s makeshift camp from some of Thraxxon’s most aggressive inhabitants.
