That having been said, I am leaning more and more towards the idea that Krell is a member of the CoT, perhaps a young, aggressive, sociopathic powerbroker who takes the seat vacated on the death of his mentor. Pretty sure someone has raised this idea before, just can't remember when or who off the top of my head. With proper compartmentalization he would know a lot of generalities about the Project but few details, and knowing that the war was coming he would see the Project (with resources far greater than his own) as the way to grow his empire and secure his well-being and comfort. He wouldn't know where Prime Base was located, but he probably could arrange to meet the Director of the Project and give him a thoughtful gift... perhaps laced with a few different airborne biological weapons wrapped in impermeable seals that dissolve slowly with time. In short, he would have the knowledge and access to bring down the Project without the Project itself being full of idiots or otherwise wrong people.
