Jojo Krako, mob boss
Jojo Krako was a gangster boss on the planet Sigma Iotia II in 2268. A planet whose society was based on Earth's Chicago gangster period. A book entitled "Chicago Mobs of the Twenties" was left by the Horizon, a Federation Ship and the entire Iotian culture had been formed by this one book.
He ran the Southside Territory and was an enemy of Bela Oxmyx, the other gangster boss. He had his men kidnap [James T. Kirk] after he escaped from Oxmyx. Krako, wanted to be in control of the planet and offered Kirk 30% of the action if he provided him with the new heaters (phasers). Kirk refused and was confined to a small room. Kirk told Krako that the [Federation] was taking over and had Krako beamed up to the Enterprise to show him what he's up against. Krako along with Oxmyx are convinced when a gunfight ensued in the street and Kirk had the ship fire phasers on stun in the surrounding area to demonstrate the power of the "Feds".
Krako became Oxmyx's second in command. This helped bind the society on the planet into a loose form of government, and stopped the violence between the two opposing gangs. (TOS: "A Piece of the Action")
- Jojo Krako was played by actor Vic Tayback.
