Crais' unused new hairstyle in a promotional image for season two


Crais action figure
Bialar Crais is a Peacekeeper captain who is hunting down John Crichton and the Moya crew on Farscape.
The son of Elann and Wimmah Crais, Bialar and his brother Tauvo were raised on a Sebacean farming colony on the planet Prybella. The siblings were forcibly taken from their parents by the Peacekeepers and conscripted into the military. Bialar eventually becomes a loyal PK captain.
In the series' premiere episode, Crichton inadvertently kills Tauvo. Crais vows to get revenge, leading to his season-long manhunt of Crichton and the Moya crew. Crais gets permission to continue his pursuit into the Uncharted Territories, in which the Peacekeepers generally have no jurisdiction. However, the chase consumes Crais' mind, and after continuing to fail to capture Moya, he ignores orders to return to Peacekeeper Command. He even kills a fellow Peacekeeper officer in order to hide that fact from his crew.
Scorpius eventually takes control of Crais' ship. Likely facing a court martial and execution for his insubordination, Crais throws himself at the mercy of the Moya crew in the first season finale "Family Ties." Crais is determined to be irreversibly contaminated and exiled from the Peacekeepers. He subsequently steals Moya's newborn child, Talyn, and starbursts away.
Over the course of the second and third seasons, Crais further bonds with Talyn and develops a rocky allyship with the Moya crew. He ultimately sacrifices himself and Talyn in season three's "Wolf in Sheep's Clothing" to destroy Scorpius' wormhole research.
