Parlax was sent to Kreludor by Dr. Sloth charged with the task of starting a feud between a Zorlix and Xarthab. This feud would distracted the Grundos of Kredulor, allowing Sloth and his minions to steal Kreludite from the Grundo's mine unnoticed.

Because of his Split colour, Parlax was able to blend in with both Zorlix's Purple Grundo followers and Xarthab's Orange Grundo followers. While with the Orange Grundos, Parlax would hide the purple half of his face with a mask. While with the Purple Grundos, he would hide the orange side of his face. Slowly, Parlax worked his way up the ranks of the two factions, until he became the personal advisor of both Zorlix and Xarthab. As their advisor, he feed false information to the two Grundo leaders, further fueling their feud.

This continual deception was successful until Parlax was recognized and exposed by Gorix. Gorix and Parlax had been good friends since childhood and had fought together as comrades during Sloth's first invasion of Kreludor. However, Parlax had betrayed the Resistance during this time by leading them into a trap set at one of Sloth's labs.

After being exposed as a traitor, Parlax was imprisoned on Kreludor. However, he managed to escape and return to Sloth's fleet. On Sloth's ship, Parlax had one last battle with Gorix. Parlax is last seen running away as Sloth's ship is initiating its self-destruct sequence. It is unclear if he safely made it off of the ship before it exploded.
