Biography
Marcus DeFlore was a human male and a member of the New Republic Senate. DeFlore was voted to be Senator of his homeworld Alderaan in 83 ABY, and began working day and night to pass new laws for his home. In 90 ABY, DeFlore set out to discuss a peace negotiation with the Pyke Syndicate on Oba Diah, but he was taken as a hostage and eventually broke his was out of their grasp.

Early Life
DeFlore began an interest in politics at a very young age, and began studying the Alderaan Senators actions by hacking into their communications and computers, and watching televised Senate meetings. He was arrested after he was caught hacking the Senate's computer systems but the charges were later dropped. He continued to study politics.

Representing Alderaan
When DeFlore was 18 years of age, he was asked by Senator Derek Jade to be the Representative of Alderaan. DeFlore of course accepted the offer and got the opportunity to attend a Senate meeting first hand. DeFlore was present the day Chancellor Kyrus was voted in office after the former Chancellor died in his sleep. DeFlore remained on Coruscant and attended Senate meetings as a Representative for two more years.

Promotion to Senator
Following the retirement of Derek Jade, DeFlore was deemed as ready for Senator, and passed the votes to become so. DeFlore immediately made purchases with the Black Market in hopes to gain more valuable goods for his people on Alderaan. After a large misunderstanding with the Hutt families, DeFlore stopped all purchases with the Black Market in hopes that the Senate wouldn't find out.

The Jedi at War
Due to the beginning of the Jedi/Imperial War, all Senators were given Jedi bodyguards in-case any Imperial mercenaries attempted an assassination. DeFlore was given Jedi Knight O'Pene Mo'Lock, whom accompanied him throughout his days.

Incident with the Pykes
In 102 ABY, DeFlore went to discuss peace negotiations with the Pyke Syndicate on Oba Diah, and Mo'Lock accompanied him, as he was ordered by the Jedi Council. During negotiations, Mo'Lock walked in attempting to deliver a message from Chancellor Kyrus. Once the Pyke leader saw the Jedi, he arrested the duo for three days. Mo'Lock used a Jedi Mind Trick on their cell guard. DeFlore gathered the guards pistol while the Jedi Knight took his lightsaber, and the duo fought their way from the Pyke base unscathed.

Death
In 103 ABY, Senator DeFlore and his Jedi bodyguard were alone on Alderaan when Wookie Sith Lord Darth Katos lead a massive invasion fleet onto the planet and captured the two. The Sith slaughtered both DeFlore and Mo'Lock, then sent the recording to both the Jedi Council and New Republic Senate.

Legacy
DeFlore's death was hardly recognized on the Senates behalf, aside from them sending their army to Alderaan following his death, but many of his old business partners from the Black Market were angry when they first heard of is death. DeFlore is succeeded by his wife, Lora, and daughter, Mary.

Skills and Equipment
While DeFlore was a poor negotiator, his skill with a blaster were far beyond advanced for a Senator. He was a computer expert, being able to hack into Senate computers to retrieve information before he was even 18 years of age.
