Korath was a soldier of the Kree Empire. During the Kree-Skrull War, he served in the Starforce under the command of Yon-Rogg, and by 1995, he was helping the team battle the dwindling Skrull opposition. Later tasked to acquire the Tesseract for the Kree Empire, Korath failed when he and several of his teammates were bested by Captain Marvel. By 2014, he became a cybernetically enhanced warrior who had abandoned Starforce and began working as a loyal enforcer for Ronan the Accuser as Korath the Pursuer. Tasked by Thanos to find the Orb, Korath encountered Star-Lord, and later remained loyal to Ronan when he betrayed Thanos. During the Battle of Xandar, Korath faced the Guardians of the Galaxy on the Dark Aster, and was killed by Drax the Destroyer.
