Background . Before 2241 , Kurisu , with some other member of the Primitive Tribe , wanted to start trading with another village , but during the journey , she and the other members of the group were killed or kidnapped by a mysterious group . Only one survivor returned to the village and said that " evil warriors came with magic torches . Fire would lick tribe warriors and they ' d go to the spirit . The evil warriors tied up the rest and took off " . Sometime later , Vic the trader came to the Primitive Tribe ' s village to talk about the group ( thinking it was the Slaver ' s Guild of Metzger ) who kidnapped the group of Kurisu and say to Sulik , the brother of Kurisu , to come to Klamath for more information . But Vic was taken prisoner by Metzger , and when Sulik finally went to Klamath and saw that Vic was not there , he stopped in the Buckner House . Immerged by " spirits of anger and chaos " , he drank and destroyed the establishment , linking him to Maida Buckner the owner until his debt of 500 NCR dollars is paid for the damages .
