Crymsin Ost was a [[Force-sensitive]] [[Sexes|female]] [[Human]] who served the [[Jedi Order]] during the waning [[year]]s of the [[Galactic Republic]],
and she trained as [[Jedi Guardian]], a combat-orientated [[Jedi]] specialization.

At some point, Ost lost her sanity and fell to the [[dark side of the Force]]; she abandoned the Jedi and affiliated herself with the [[Believers]], a [[Sith cult]] that was based in the [[Cularin system]]. She eventually became an important member of the cult and, with help from the [[Ithorian]] Believer [[Force Adept]] [[Disch'l]], she constructed a [[Color|pink]]-colored [[lightsaber]] for herself.

In about [[21 BBY]],
The ''[[Living Force Campaign Guide]]'' states that the ''[[Living Force (RPG)|Living Force]]'' campaign is set one [[year]] after the [[Invasion of Naboo]], an event that is dated to [[32 BBY]] by ''[[The New Essential Chronology]]''. As the ''Living Force'' adventure ''[[Philology]]'' [[Cularin's disappearance|moved]] the campaign forward ten years to the time of the [[Clone Wars]], ''[[Belly of the Beaast]]'' is therefore dated to circa [[21 BBY]].
during the [[Clone Wars]], the Believers embarked upon a plot to [[Death|wipe out]] most of the [[Caarite]]s—a [[Sentience|sentient]] [[species]] that operated the [[Metatheran Cartel]] trade organization—by dispersing a [[Anti-Caarite virus|deadly virus]] on the Caarite [[homeworld]], [[Caarimon]]. Ost was placed in command of [[Mission to Caarimon|the operation]] and she journeyed to Caarimon aboard a [[transport]] that had collected large quantities of the virus from a [[S-Ipsus Believers laboratory|secret Believers laboratory]] on the [[planet]] [[Genarius]]. On arrival in the [[Caarimoos system]], Ost's transport docked with the research [[Space station|station]] [[Creautaa-V]] in [[orbit]] of Caarimon, and she disembarked from the vessel along with the rest of her strike team: Disch'l, the Believer [[Eph]] and [[Melo Centris]], a renowned [[assassin]] who had been hired to assist the Believers with their mission. The Believers released a sample of the infection and wiped out all of the installation's Caarite crew, then off-loaded a tank of the virus and ferried it to the lowest level of the station. There, they filled some [[escape pod]]s with the virus and prepared them for launch in the direction of the planet, and they also rigged the pods with explosives, hoping to crash them into fault lines in the [[Desolation]] region of the world and cause a major cataclysm. Meanwhile, another group of Believers landed on Caarimon and rigged a [[homing beacon]] in the Desolation region, and Ost and her crew waited to receive a signal from the [[transmitter]].

A group of freelance agents from the Cularin [[Star system|system]] known as the "[[Heroes of Cularin]]" traveled to Caarimon to investigate the Believer plot and, after disabling the homing beacon in the Desolation, they boarded the Creautaa-V and confronted Ost's strike team. Ost ignited her lightsaber and moved to attack the operatives, while Disch'l used [[the Force]] to create an [[Mind trick|illusory]] version of the fallen Jedi, as a distraction. Despite their efforts, Ost and the other Believers were eventually defeated, and the agents prevented the virus from being dispersed on the planet.

Ost was insane and devoted to the ideals of the Believers, and she was willing to commit [[Speciecide|genocide]] in order to further the cult's aims. Like all Believers, she had a [[tattoo]] on the front of her right shoulder that depicted the [[Almas Sith fortress|Sith Fortress]] on the planet [[Almas]], with a lightsaber handle snapped in two which formed the base of the [[fortress]]' spire. However, Osts' tattoos were modified such that if she clicked her [[Tooth|teeth]] in a particular pattern, a fatal dose of [[poison]] would spout from sub-dermal implants beneath the tattooed lightsaber handle, giving each halve a red-colored blade.

In addition, she was familiar with the [[Force power|powers]] [[Battlemind]], [[Force rage]], [[Force stealth]] and [[Hatred]], and she was trained in the use of [[Unarmed combat|martial arts]].

Crymsin Ost made her first and only [[canon]] appearance in ''[[Belly of the Beaast]]'', a [[Star Wars Roleplaying Game|role-playing]] adventure written by [[Morrie Mullins]] in [[2003]], which formed part of the [[Metatheran Caution trilogy]] of the [[Living Force (RPG)|Living Force]] campaign. During the adventure, the player characters [[Roleplaying game|role-play]] as the Heroes of Cularin and the amount of Force powers possessed by Ost varies, depending upon the role-playing experience tier of the players. She can only utilize the powers Drain Energy, Force rage and telekinesis, or use martial arts, when facing off against players in the middle or upper experience tiers, and she can only wield the power Hatred when engaging upper tier players. As a consequence, when fighting lower tier players, Ost has to have her lightsaber ignited for her by Disch'l, because she lacks the ability to use telekinesis and thus cannot operate her weapon's Force-activated switch. During their encounter with her, it is possible for the player characters to kill Ost, and also for them to loot her lightsaber. If she is captured by the players, she attempts to activate the implants in her tattoos and commit [[suicide]].
