Kraaken was the Deputy Commander of the Freeholders hidden base on Aquaris, serving under Commander Silver Fyre.
When the Millennium Falcon touched down carrying Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia Organa who hoped to recruit the Freeholders into joining the Rebel Alliance, Kraaken reveiled his true colors. During an underwater hunting expidition, Kraaken sabotaged Skywalker's aqua-skimmer, leaving the unconscious Rebel hero at the mercy of a giant demonsquid. Skywalker was rescued from certain death by the quick swimming of the Wookiee Chewbacca.
In the confusion caused by the demonsquid's attack on Luke, Kraaken was able to double back to C-3PO and R2-D2 and immobilize them in hopes of stealing a secret data plaque they were holding so he coluld hand it to the empire. However, he was confronted by Leia Organa, who reveiled that the existence of the data plaque was a ruse to draw him out.
Enraged, Kraaken attempted to escape to the surface, hoping to flee Aquaris aboard one of the Freeholders' fastest ships, but he was apprehended by Han Solo.
