Vurg was the best friend of Luke the Warrior, a member of his tribe, and a member of his crew when he captained the Sayna. After Vilu Daskar's crew massacred Luke's tribe, Vurg was the first to get him to come to his senses. Luke brought Vilu to his demise by crashing the Goreleech, which Vurg also survived. He then lived for many seasons in the front half of the Goreleech, renamed Arfship, with Denno, Dulam, and Beau.
