Marrik Quee

"I can merely show you to door to your potential. I cannot force you through it."

- Marrik Quee.

Marrik Quee was an Ithorian Jedi Consular who served the Jedi Order prior to and during the Clone Wars. A trainee under the unorthodox Human Jedi Master Justinus Sensus, Marrik trained to be an archivist and healer until his disappearance at the close of the Clone Wars. For years, rumors of his existence flitted around the Outer Rim, attracting the attention of the sick, infirm and destitute looking for a guide and healer, as well as the attention of Imperial Inquisitors, hunting for Jedi fugitives. He was believed to have taken up residence on Tatooine, specifically the deserts close to the town of Wayfar. Other reports placed him on the water world Manaan.

Marrik would later emerge from hiding to join the New Jedi Order, led by Luke Skywalker. There, he served as an archivist and an instructor. He was known for tutoring many students, despite not taking any of them on as his formal Padawan. Marrik would serve the New Jedi Order until 26 ABY, when the Yuuzhan Vong destroyed the Jedi Praxeum on Yavin 4. Leading a group of students to safety in the surrounding jungles, Marrik sacrificed himself to save them by unleasing a telekinetic explosion on Yuuzhan Vong aggressors.

In a sense, Marrik lived on after death, as his likeness served as a Gatekeeper in a holocron, offering his advice and wisdom to those who accessed it.

The Clone Wars: 22 BBY - 19 BBY
"I remember a time when Jedi were called upon as teachers, healers and mediators. It is a sad thing when Jedi are called upon as generals, to lead conquering armies that crush enemies...."

Betrayals and Aftermaths; Order 66: 19 BBY
"The time has come. Execute Order 66."

- Supreme Chancellor Palpatine issuing Order 66.

The Galactic Civil War: 2 ABY - 19 ABY
"''The destruction of the Jedi was, I fear, our own fault. Some of us had thought the Jedi to be above mere defeat or death, blind to the facts that everything, even Jedi, must come to an end. Rather, I dare say that some of us feared that prospect. The arrogance in proclaiming themselves, essentially, invincible was matched only by how swiftly the order was executed. While I weep for the loss of life and brethren, I cannot say that this tragedy was not without warning."

- Marrik reflecting on the events of Operation: Knightfall.''

The Holocron: 2 ABY
"I advise caution when dealing with such things, young one. The knowledge and power contained within may be beyond your grasp.... and I fear that such access to power and knowledge may, perhaps, tempt you down the wrong path."

- Marrik to Sevoa'er, on the topic of the holocron.

A New Padawan?: 2 ABY
"''You must learn to open up to the Force. You've felt it before, whoever brief the whispers were. Like a breeze through the grass. But now you must feel it, open yourself to it. Close your eyes, concentrate. Tune out the static noise of the galaxy and feel the life around you. Feel the sand, the rocks, the heat, the desert vegetation that grow beneath the sand, the flies in the air around us, you, me. Be the eye of the hurricane, the calm amidst the chaos. Feel yourself, your true self, and awaken your senses....."
