He is the owner of the professional [[Ligue Yonderre|Ligue 1]] football team [[Lance FC]]. Kerr has been in self-exile on [[Pribraltar]] since 2031 following charges of an array of financial crimes, including tax evasion, embezzlement, and breach of fiduciary duty. He continues to operate BIG - although now under increased scrutiny and with diminished credibility.

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.

However, Kerr's meteoric rise was marred by controversy when in 2029, a whistleblower's revelations triggered a thorough audit by Cartadanian financial regulators. The ensuing investigation uncovered a web of illicit activities, including fraudulent accounting practices, tax evasion, and money laundering. Despite his burgeoning influence in Sarpedon, these allegations began to tarnish his reputation, casting a long shadow over his previous accomplishments. Kerr's business empire began to unravel when a consortium of investigative journalists uncovered the Mirage Portfolio's existence as part of a broader exposé on financial malfeasance in the Pribraltar banking industry. The exposure led to multiple international jurisdictions cooperating in a comprehensive probe into Kerr's financial dealings. Despite the legal storm brewing, Kerr remained a step ahead, using his Pribraltarian residency to shield himself from extradition. His legal team, comprising some of the most astute minds in financial, corporate, and real estate law, mounted a robust defense, claiming that if the mirage portfolio was a real system, it would be a legitimate financial strategy since its core principles have been used by the world's best investors and accountants. Kerr publicly decried the accusations as a smear campaign orchestrated by those envious of his financial ingenuity.

The situation escalated in 2031 when Cartadania's Federal Investigation and Security Agency (FISA) charged Kerr with an array of financial crimes, including tax evasion, embezzlement, and breach of fiduciary duty. Despite the mounting evidence and international pressure, Kerr managed to stay one step ahead of the law, using his dual citizenship and political connections in Pribraltar to evade extradition. Kerr is protected from extradition by the [[Index of Kiravian Legislation|International Criminal Procedure Act of 21205]], which prohibits the Kiravian Federacy from extraditing its own nationals in the absence of an overriding bilateral treaty, as well as by the Pribraltarian government's general unwillingness to coöperate with foreign prosecutors on financial crime cases unless they directly involve the Pribraltarian banking system. He continues to operate BIG - although now under increased scrutiny and with diminished credibility, having moved its operational headquarters to XXX Palace. In July 2033, Kerr agreed to pay $539 million in refunds and fines in connection with his breach of fiduciary duty in an unrelated investigation.
