He is the founder of the investment firm [[Baykerr Investment Group]] (BIG) and is a Senior Director and executive of [[Bordelleaux Palmgate]], a private Pribraltarian bank known for its high-networth individuals and wealthy clients. Kerr is deeply rooted in the [[Pribraltar#Banking sector|Pribraltarian banking industry]] and is also a real estate tycoon, owning hundreds of properties across the world. He is the owner of the professional [[Ligue Yonderre|Ligue 1]] football team [[Lance FC]] and of [[Club Venatores]] which plays in the [[Caphirian Imperial League|Imperial League]]. Since 2031, Kerr has been in self-exile on [[Pribraltar]] following an array of financial crime charges, including tax evasion, embezzlement, and breach of fiduciary duty. As of 2033, Kerr has a net worth of approximately $10 billion, although this figure is highly contested given his ongoing legal battles. | ||
At age 11 he discovered a Coscivian translation of [[Qipian's Book of Artifice]] at his local library, which inspired him to execute several deceptive schemes on his classmates, such as the so-called Pelaxian Handkerchief con. After graduating from [[Fortuna Institute]] in 2009, Kerr joined Bay Properties, the real-estate arm of the [[Bay Trading Company|Bay Trading Company]]. Initially tasked with acquiring agricultural land in impoverished Cronan countries, Kerr showed great ambition and correspondingly few moral scruples; he reverted to bribery, threats, intimidation, and extortion, but he ultimately increased the firm's portfolio in Crona by 1200%. By 2013, Kerr had been promoted to junior partner and made senior partner in 2018. The following year, an investigation was opened into Kerr regarding his actions, however he was suddenly transferred to BMCS - the Bay Trading Company's overseas subsidiary in Sarpedon. Kerr relocated to [[Cartadania]] and worked in the commercial real estate sector of BMCS. Kerr's business acumen and relentless drive earned him a reputation for aggressive corporate tactics and his "unorthodox" methods, however, the Bay Trading Company tried to downplay any ethical concerns amid record-setting metrics. In 2021, Kerr was given $53.9 million in bonuses by the Bay Trading Company. However in March 2022, Kerr's controversial tenure at the Bay Trading Company came to an abrupt end after another set of allegations of bribery, kidnapping, money laundering, fraud and rape were made against him. | At age 11 he discovered a Coscivian translation of [[Qipian's Book of Artifice]] at his local library, which inspired him to execute several deceptive schemes on his classmates, such as the so-called Pelaxian Handkerchief con.

In 2002, alongside X person and Y person, Kerr co-founded [[ElectricSlide]], a startup involved in the construction and operation of offshore wind farms. The company identified the [[Saxalin Islands]] in the [[Absurian Ocean]] as a potentially lucrative source of renewable energy. However, the stormy circumpolar waters surrounding the Saxalins were in a near-constant state of violent winds. Between this, the high operating costs, high construction costs, and unproven technology made the [[Kiravian Maritime Executive]] reluctant to grant a license to ElectricSlide to build an offshore turbine. In 2008, ElectricSlide was finally given approval to erect an offshore wind farm on the semi-submerged Reseda Shoals. Kerr played an instrumental role in accomplishing this by allegedly extorting the leader of the Contiguous Zone Authority, the specific subordinate agency responsible. Kerr also allegedly extorted and blackmailed employees of the insurance company [[Berengar Marine]] to insure the project, something the Kiravian government mandated before giving approval. In October 2006, a torrential storm devastated the Saxalins and destroyed most of ElectricSlide's infrastructure. 11 employees were killed and 27 were injured. ElectricSlide filed for bankruptcy December 2006. Berengar Marine was forced to cover the salvage operations, which nearly bankrupted them as well. Kerr was issued a $3.8 million fine but ultimately only paid $681,212 after his lawyers argued that represented "more than 220% over Mr. Kerr's personal net worth" and would subsequently bankrupt him. | |||
