Kross is the second pilot for the Crog Imperium, replacing Toros during the Oban Cycle. He is stronger, more treacherous and cruel than his predecessor. In 2052, Kross was in charge of the Earth invasion, but the truce of the Great Race forced him to retreat and swallow his ambition. He plans to use the Ultimate Prize for galactic domination.
Because the rules of the race forbid him to intentionally kill his opponents, Kross often manipulates Aikka into helping him thwart the other pilots. His methods of coersion range from physical violence to holding Aikka's family hostage. In the final race, Aikka finally rebels against Kross and teams up with Molly to defeat him.
