Krin is a petty thief who attempts to manipulate situations for his own profit. Krin encountered Hero (Suikoden) in Kouan, where Krin took advantage of the Toran Liberation Army's desire to see Lepant by encouraging Tir to steal the sword Kirinji. Krin helped the party break into Lepant's home but declined to follow them, as he had been unable to get past Lepant's defences in the past. After Tir's party returned with the sword, Krin offered them some Robber's Tea, but Tir and his companions saw through Krin's ruse.

Lepant quickly found Tir McDohl and his party, as Krin had notified him of where Tir would be so that Lepant could capture them in their sleep. When Tir, Lepant, and the others returned to Toran Castle, Krin came along with them, joining the Toran Liberation Army.

Krin served the Toran Liberation Army by performing some reconnaissance with Kasumi. The two caught Taggart wandering around Toran Castle. Later in the Gate Rune War, Krin and Kasumi were sent on a reconnaissance mission into Scarlet Moon Empire territory, where they were able to determine there was an intelligence leak in the Toran Liberation Army, though they were unable to determine where the leak was. Following the Battle at the Northern Checkpoint, Krin was one of Tir McDohl's party members for the rescue of Viktor and Warren from Moravia, along with Kasumi. Prior to the Battle at Floating Fortress Shasarazade, Krin dreamt of stealing a great deal of treasure, so much that he could not carry it all.

Following the end of the Gate Rune War, Krin stole Gregminster Palace's treasures, then quickly vanished.
