Marrik Quee

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

- Marrik Quee

Marrik Quee was a  who served the  as a, serving prior to and during the. Born on the  in Ithor's orbit, Marrik was raised since childhood to become a. For many years, he was the of the   Justinus Sensus, learning from the unorthodox Jedi before eventually becoming a.

During his tenure as a Jedi, Marrik served primarily as a who tended to the. Before long, he took on his first apprentice, a by the name of Sa'vana'tel Idos. When the Clone Wars broke out, Marrik refused to become involved in the conflict, citing that he was a teacher and not a general. This caused a divide between him and his apprentice, who went off to fight. Marrik stayed out of the conflict until Idos took part in the Battle of Duro. The pair were part of the Republic forces during the combat. However, years of warfare put a huge strain on Idos, who committed suicide during the Republic's retreat; she leaped to her death from a Republic attack gunship.

When the Clone Wars came to an end, Marrik was present on during. Despite being inside the, Marrik survived the attack and subsequently fled to the. He vanished to, where he began a life as a. Marrik would later emerge from hiding to join the, headed by. Once more, he served primarily as an archivist, healer and instructor. He was known to tutor many students, and initially refused to take on another Padawan before choosing the Daertha.

He actively served during the, taking part in many battles. He played little part in the, but served again during the.

Early Life
"Having our son train to become a Jedi would be a great honor, master Jedi. But it is.... hard to give him up." "Just because I'm here doesn't mean you have to surrender him. You can decline." "Please... make him become a fine Jedi; wise and powerful. He deserves better than we can provide." "I promise."

- Marrik's parents and the Jedi Justinus Sensus, at the time of Marrik's discovery.

Marrik was born on the, the , in. His parents, Tegq and Boroi Quee, were mechanics for their herd. Marrik lived with them until they discovered he had an affinity for the Force, shortly after his metamorphosis. Before long, a Jedi by the name of Justinus Sensus came to the family, offering to take the young Ithorian to Coruscant in order to join the. Initially reluctant, his parents took slight convincing before agreeing to give custody to the Jedi, stating that the Jedi Order was a better life than they could provide. Marrik was then taken to Coruscant, where he was accepted into the Jedi Order and given the rank of.

Jedi Training
"The path before you is long and arduous. Not many make it.... but I have utmost confidence that you will succeed."

- Justinus Sensus to Marrik.

During his tenure as a youngling, Marrik learned the basics of the Force as well as lightsaber combat. He and the other younglings were taught to meditate and open themselves up to the Force. He was sorted into the and trained with some of the Jedi. Around this time, Marrik became fast friends with a fellow initiate, a human girl by the name of Aurellia Aideen. A few years later, Marrik began his by partaking in the Apprentice Tournament. His performance in the tournament caught the eye of one particular Jedi Master, the very Jedi that brought him to Coruscant: Justinus Sensus. His first test as the Padawan of Sensus was to construct his own.

The pair ventured to the ice world of, going to the crystal caverns there. Within, Sensus left Marrik to craft his lightsaber in isolation. Marrik labored with the construction weeks before emerging from the cavern, lightsaber in hand. From then on, his training intensified, as the unorthodox Jedi Master maintained a strict training regimen, which involved traveling to worlds such as and training in their harsh environments. During these years, the pair bonded closely, where they became more than teacher and student, they became very close friends. Sensus' teachings, as well as his beliefs, would have a great impact on Marrik.

The
"Jedi are not soldiers, Master." "No, we are not. But there are times where we must take up weapon and cause to defend the Republic." "I remember a time where Jedi weren't called upon to wage war." "Jedi have always waged war. If not against others, then against each other. But take heart, young one. Our duty is to serve and protect - even at the cost of our lives." "I-I know. I won't fail you, Master." "Don't fail yourself, Marrik."

- Marrik and Justinus, prior to the fighting.

Both Marrik and Sensus would take a part in the Stark Hyperspace War, being part of the Jedi forces called to the Qotile system. Marrik participated in the Second, Third, and Fourth Battles of Qotile. Unfortunately, Justinus was overrun, gunned down and killed during the fourth battle. His death struck Marrik as a devastating loss of mentor, friend and father figure. Rather than succumb to sadness, Marrik continued to fight Stark Combine soldiers in an effort to protect his master's body. Despite enemy numbers, Marrik stood and fought until help arrived, slaying many soldiers with both lightsaber and Force powers. It was Marrik who brought his master's body back to, where a was held in the.

Faced with being a Padawan with no master, Marrik was called before the Jedi Council. They decreed that during the battles, Marrik had begun his path towards becoming a ; by displaying both skill and courage in face of overwhelming odds and superior enemy numbers, as well as sustaining grievous injuries, Marrik completed three of his : the Trial of Skill, the Trial of Courage, and the Trial of Flesh. To continue his career as a Jedi, the Council decided that the Council itself would see to the remaining two trials.

The Remaining Two Trials
Working exclusively in the Jedi Archives following the death of his master, Marrik accompanied his friend, Aurellia Aideen, and her master Talif Soranna to recover a rumored on the planet. The trio scoured the planet until they found where the holocron would most likely be housed: ancient ruins of a temple structure. Together, Marrik and Aurellia explored the lower depths of the temple. In one chamber, they found a pyramidal holocron resting on a dais. When they attempted to retrieve it, they unwittingly activated the device, which, in turn, assaulted them with dark side illusions. The illusion that greeted Marrik was a myriad of "possibilities": he saw himself falling to the dark side, he saw Aurellia being killed by his own hand, as well as the burning. As he struggled to break free of the illusion's grasp, it took on the shape of his deceased Master.

The illusion of Justinus inflamed all of Marrik's doubts and fears, citing the cause of his death was because of the Padawan's weakness. Locked inside his mind and in deadly combat with a Force illusion, Marrik was on the verge of despair when his spirit and determination won through. He fought the darkest parts of himself and saw through the illusion. Using the Force to create a barrier around the holocron, Marrik stopped the illusions and awoke Aurellia. By the time Talif arrived on the scene, the pair were nearly recovered. With explanation, Talif decreed that the holocron would be too dangerous, and so destroyed it on the spot.

When they returned to Coruscant, Talif submitted a report to the Jedi Council and Marrik was once again called before them. Instead of an average council session, Marrik was this time called in for his Knighting Ceremony. For completing his Trials, as well as saving his fellow Padawan, he was granted the rank of.

Jedi Knight
Despite obtaining the rank of Jedi Knight, Marrik mostly served in the as a librarian and archivist. A few months later, he took on a Padawan of his own, a Lowen girl by the name of Sa'vana'tel Idos, grooming her for a future role of Jedi Lore Keeper. This changed with the eve of the : Marrik, refusing to serve as a general, stayed in his post at the Archives on Coruscant. Idos, discontent with her training and disappointed with her master's lack of action, went off to fight.

The Clone Wars
It wasn't until three years into the Clone Wars that Marrik took action. Becoming increasingly concerned with his Padawan's eagerness for battle and military service without pause, he attempted to intervene and bring her back to the to recuperate. Unknowingly, they were headed into a massive Separatist offensive at the planet of. The resulting Battle of Duro was a major loss for the Republic.

Facing superior enemy numbers and firepower proved too much for the Republic defenders and a retreat order was issued. The massive loss of life that resulted from the droid forces proved too much for the young Padawan to bear. As Marrik pulled her onto a Republic gunship to retreat, she suddenly leaped to her death from low-atmosphere. Her cause of death was attributed to posttraumatic stress disorder from the war, as well as the inability to cope with the loss of battle, as well as the sensations of death through the Force. Sa'vana'tel's death deeply impacted Marrik, who felt guilty for refusing to fight earlier, believing that he wasn't there to guide her through the worst.

After the Battle of Duro and his Padawan's death, Marrik withdrew completely from the war, resuming his duties in the Archives. This time, however, he served as a part-time instructor for younglings, Padawans and even other Jedi Knights.He frequently held lectures concerning the nature of the Force and on Jedi lore.

Marrik was present at the Jedi Temple after the issuing of and. He was teaching a large class of younglings when the temple was breached by the newly-christened and the 501st Legion. In the chaos and confusion, he gathered the younglings and lead them for the safety of the Tranquility Spire. Once there, Marrik steeled himself for the inevitable. Once the clones breached the tower, Marrik greeted them with lightsaber in hand. Unleashing all of his might via Force powers, Marrik held the clones at bay for a short time. Eventually, he was overwhelmed and gunned down. Remaining conscious and alive by drawing on the Force, Marrik watched in horror as the clones killed all of the younglings. Using Breath Control, Marrik played dead as the clones ransacked the remainder of the temple.

By the time he awoke, the nighttime Coruscant sky greeted him through the cracks in the ceiling. The temple was destroyed and all of the Jedi within were dead. Any survivors have long since fled. Seeing the bodies of the younglings he failed to save, he destroyed his lightsaber on the spot and fled into hiding. He had failed once again.

Dark Times
"A Jedi? No. No.... I'm just someone who has been gone too long.... it is time for me to give back to the galaxy."

- Marrik while in hiding.

During the months and years following the destruction of the Jedi Temple, Marrik fled Coruscant for the. In the beginning, he sought wild and uninhabited worlds, so that he may hide in utter isolation. After a turbulent time of travel and meditation, he partially left hiding to travel the Outer Rim, providing aid and care for those who needed it. He visited destitute and poor worlds and populations, bringing with him food, supplies and, in some dire cases, healing.

During this time, Marrik traveled to Axxila, taking refuge in the planet's urban sprawl. He visited the lowest levels of society in attempts to alleviate the suffering and ills taking place. He stayed in a community of poor Cathar refuges but rumors of an off-world "medicine man" attracted the attention of both authorities and the underworld element. Before long, both Imperial and Hutt forces came looking for him, forcing Marrik to flee. This time, he fled to Tatooine, where he began a life as a moisture farmer. Marrik settled deep in the, isolated from any local settlements or towns. The nearest settlement was, despite it still being a long voyage even with a. Marrik occasionally visited the town to buy supplies.

One night, while stopping at the for food and refreshment before departing back to his homestead, Marrik encountered a pair of treasure hunters. A Kiffar and Twi'lek, the pair approached Marrik, introducing themselves and asking questions about the area. They were especially interested in reports of ruins, although the rumors stretched back to Revan's time. Knowing nothing of any ruins nearby or on the planet, Marrik left after his supper. Next time he stopped in town, several weeks later, the duo was there again, evidently taking up shack in a local hotel and scouring the area for clues. Over the course of two months, Marrik made friends of the pair, as they always sat with him whenever he showed up and they always showered him with questions. It was around this time that Marrik sensed the latent Force sensitivity in the pair, especially in the Kiffar, who was named Sevo'aer.

The next month, they met up again at the cantina. This time, however, the treasure hunters wanted Marrik to accompany them to the Krayt Graveyard. Knowing the dangers of the native krayt dragons, Marrik went with them. Making the perilous journey, they arrived after several days of travel. Using cover of night, they managed to avoid many of the dragons within the valley, picking at the skeletons. Just as the treasure hunters found their prize, a rare krayt dragon pearl, one of the creatures detected and attacked the group. Their hunting blasters made no impact due to the dragon's hide. Facing death, Marrik pacified the beast long enough to escape by using Animal Friendship.

However, doing so revealed what he truly was. Before he could use Mind Trick to erase the event from their memory, Sevo'aer and Snee revealed that they had something to show him, back in the hotel at Wayfar: a Jedi holocron. The revelation of an active Jedi holocron surviving the Purge and Marrik's knowledge of them destroyed the remainder of his cover as a simple hermit. Furthermore, they revealed that they were Force-sensitive and had activated the holocron once before, intending to learn what they can. Believing the young treasure hunters to be rash, impulsive and seeking glory, Marrik urged for them to be cautious. He refused to teach them. Snee, discontented, started a fight and then left in a rage. Marrik returned home. A few days later, Sevo'aer visited Marrik at his home, claiming to have gotten directions from locals. There, he implored the Ithorian to teach him. Seeing passion in the young man, Marrik reluctantly agreed. To his horror, however, Sevo'aer revealed that he had begun constructing a lightsaber. Marrik confiscated the holocron, promising to return it once Sevo'aer was ready. Together, they then began training.

Over the course of three weeks, Sevo'aer moved into Marrik's home and took on the role of apprentice. Out in the dunes and canyons of Tatooine, they trained in the ways of the Force. Amongst stones and boulders in the canyons, Marrik showed the Kiffar how to move objects with the Force, instructing him to lift as many small stones as he could. After days of long hours under the twin suns, Sevo'aer was beginning to develop strength in the Force, being able to nudge larger boulders. They followed bantha herds, where Marrik taught his student how to open oneself to the Force and feel his surroundings, including lifeforms and differing individuals. Unbeknownst to the two at the time, Snee had leaked knowledge of a Jedi over the HoloNet, which in turn attracted the attention of Imperial authorities, Cartel thugs and a bounty hunter by the name of Gardak. While their training continued, they were being hunted. Before long, the bounty hunter struck, burning down Marrik's home and ambushing them once they returned to the wreckage. In the ensuing battle, Sevo'aer lashed out and killed the bounty hunter by crushing him with the Force. As they searched the burnt out wreckage, the two discovered that the holocron was missing. The hunt for the rogue treasure hunter begun.

A Hunt Across the Desert
"Killing the bounty hunter was unnecessary. Killing with the Force changes you. Subtly, at first. You will never suspect the fall. But your presence changes, your connection to the Force, even your spirit begins to wilt. It is not a pa--" "He was going to kill us. He got what he deserved. You're telling me you've never killed anyone, Marrik?" "No. I have. Far more than a Jedi should."

- Marrik and Sevo'aer during the hunt for the holocron.

During the hunt for Snee, Marrik utilized his Force powers to great effect. Despite the distance, Marrik could detect Snee's raw presence in the Force, giving them a trail to follow. The trail was faint, leading them across the planet. Snee fled deep into the canyons, deserts and wastes of Tatooine, trying to muddle her trail. Through lonely dunes and deep ravines, Marrik and Sevo'aer tracked her, although not without trial. The planet's atmosphere and ecosystem were trying in and of themselves, where the heat was extremely oppressive. The landscape itself was difficult to traverse, as gorges and desert were difficult obstacles to pass through. Sevo'aer became increasingly agitated and lashed out at Marrik several times during the trek, branding him the source of all the trouble. In time, Sevo'aer revealed his completed lightsaber and made it clear that he intended to kill Snee to keep the holocron and the nature of his Force-sensitivity secret. Marrik asked for a chance to speak to her once they found her, which Sevo'aer reluctantly agreed to.

They found Snee after several days, hiding in a winding cave system filled with predatory s. Snee's anger and frustration resonated in the Force and in turn began to corrupt the holocron. The savage nature of the squills, being in such proximity to negative Force energy, was amplified and they attacked the duo. Fighting their way deeper and deeper into the cave, Sevo'aer became more frantic and agitated, cutting down the creatures without pause. After dispatching many of the creatures, they finally found Snee at the bottommost chamber. Suffering from heatstroke, hunger and desperation from the journey, Snee attacked without a moment's hesitation, opening up with a salvo of. Marrik attempted to reason with her, to no avail, prompting Sevo'aer to cut her down. In the passion of murder and reclaiming the holocron, Sevo'aer turned on Marrik, intent on killing him to remove all witnesses and loose ends. A duel ensued, pitting Marrik and his Force-imbued staff against Sevo'aer's lightsaber. Marrik disarmed Sevo'aer by knocking his weapon into a chasm but the Kiffar continued his assault by using the Force. Disappointed in his former student and friend, Marrik easily deflected the attacks before cutting Sevo'aer off from the Force as a lesson, leaving his former Padawan broken and screaming in the cave.

Despite isolating himself from most sentients, Marrik was often in contact, due to his habitation in the desert wastes, with numerous Tusken Raider tribes. Initially, the Tuskens reacted with hostility whenever Marrik emerged from his homestead, but one an occasion where a starving tribe passed through, Marrik feed them and gave them water. Staying on the grounds near the homestead for days, the Tuskens eventually vanished into the night. They haven't forgotten, however, as months later, the same tribe, now flourishing, returned. In a show of gratitude, they left cultural totems and trinkets before departing. Word must've spread, as whenever tribes passed through, they often swapped supplies or trinkets in exchange for food and water.

A New Jedi Order
"Jedi Master Marrik Quee? My name is Daertha Ollan and I come to you with an offer I think you'd like to hear. And before you start to protest and say you're just a hermit, I can already tell what you are. You shine in the Force like a sun."

- Daertha Ollan, Marrik's future apprentice, offering a place in the New Jedi Order.

Marrik remained in isolation for years following the Empire's defeat at the Battle of Endor. After Luke Skywalker's establishment of a New Jedi Order, several of the Order's members scoured the galaxy for candidates and recruits. Daertha Ollan, serving as a de facto Jedi Watchman, visited Tatooine due to reports of a hermit who lived alone in the desert. Considering the history of Luke Skywalker's own mentor, Ben Kenobi, Daertha set out to Tatooine immediately. It took her days to find Marrik's isolated homestead. Instead of disguising herself as a traveler, Daertha immediately professed herself to be a Jedi in search of others to bring back to the Order. Marrik refused, stating he was on a mission. He invited the Twi'lek to join him, asking her to help him carry a basket of supplies.

The duo trekked across the desert to a Tusken Raider campground. There, Marrik healed the tribal banthas, dying of disease, with a mixture of herbal medicine and the Force. On the way back to the homestead, Daertha convinced Marrik that his abilities, as well as his empathy for others, would do more good than languishing on a backwater desert world. Convinced and impressed by the young Jedi's zeal, Marrik agreed and accompanied her back to, and from there,. Marrik would at last meet Luke Skywalker, the son of Anakin Skywalker, whom Marrik knew mostly by reputation during the waning days of the Old Republic. Skywalker, sensing the power within Marrik, and listening to his history, welcomed him into the New Jedi Order and conferred onto him the rank of Jedi Master.

Being welcomed so readily into the New Jedi Order bred some distrust between Marrik and other Jedi, but this would be alleviated in time. Marrik spent most of his time providing consul, advice, and regaling this new generation with his knowledge and experience of the old Jedi Order.

The Jedi Praxeum
"You are at a crossroads of your destiny, Padawan, and only you can decide your fate. Strength is tempting, but fleeting, and it does not make one great. True strength is not in martial prowess or power, but in casting aside your perceptions and your shell, leaving you bare to the Force. It is true strength to let go and allow the Force to aide and carry you. The Force will guide you, Daertha, but only if you listen to it."

- Marrik advising Daertha Ollan.

Despite possessing the rank of Jedi Master, Marrik initially refused to take on Padawan learners, in spite of the lack of masters available to students. Instead, he considered every student to be his apprentice and spent his time tending and adding to the archives or mentoring others. He was fond of teaching, especially by example, and would hold meditation sessions, sermons, and regular training treks into the wilds. Yavin 4 was a place teeming with life and Marrik encouraged students to open themselves up to the Force and to feel that life for themselves. His lessons in the jungles often brushed upon refining Force skills, such as Force Sense and. When giving sermons at the Praxeum, Marrik called for clarity in mind and calm, rational response. He urged students to question the nature of the Force and to look at it deeper than simple light versus dark, demonstrating his belief that the Force was an inherently neutral entity.

Marrik sometimes accompanied senior and junior members of the Order on missions when they requested his presence. The elderly Ithorian's refusal to construct another lightsaber baffled many, especially young Padawans. In one instance, on a mission in the Core Worlds, he demonstrated that he was just as capable without a lightsaber as he would be with one, stating that the lightsaber was a mere weapon and that the Force was a Jedi's greatest ally. He worked alongside Daertha frequently and the two developed a close friendship and mentor-student relationship. Despite Daertha being a Jedi Knight, Marrik eventually took her on as his formal Padawan.

Duel on the Vanquisher
"This is all Skywalker sends after me? A motley duo of aliens? "Master was hoping you'd surrender. I was hoping you'd put up a fight. I've been wanting to put you down like a dog, Vess." "Daertha - temper yourself. Surrender, Doran. I don't want to hurt you." "No? Easier for me, then." "So be it."

- Doran Vess, Daertha Ollan, and Marrik just before their duel.

Personality and Traits
"Dark and light? Good or evil? Ah, how often these things are debated upon. Many seem to believe that good versus evil, dark versus light, black or white is the foundation that everything boils down to. But tell me: what is "dark" and "light"? "Good" or "evil"? How can you tell one from the other? Is it something that you can truly know and determine? The general consensus - at least when it comes to - is that it is divided into two sides: the and the . However, they stem much further than simple good or evil. They are two labels of two inseparable halves of a greater whole. The Force has no inherent side. It is akin to the wind or sunlight. It is a natural phenomena that finds meaning in the intent of those who wield it. The Jedi of old believed in balance where the dark side was eradicated, but can there be light without darkness? You cannot have only one, for that is not balance."

- Marrik giving a lecture at the

Marrik was an adherent to the philosophy, so much so that he was often considered to be a  by his peers. He believed the Force wasn't divided into sides. He disagreed with the traditional Jedi dogma that claimed that the dark side would need to be eradicated in order to preserve balance. Rather, he believed that in order to obtain true balance, there would need to be both light and darkness. He staunchly opposed, however, those that used the dark side of the Force for their own gain, such as and the.

Marrik had a serene and quiet disposition, coming across as unerringly calm and polite. He remained calm even in a crisis and students have likened him to the center of a storm: the calm area despite the chaos raging around it. A kind and gentle soul, Marrik was of a more pacifistic nature than others, offering advice and aid to those who needed it: even if they did not want or realize that they needed it. Exceedingly patient and wise, he often came across as cautious and conservative, which drew criticism from the more brash or proactive members of the New Jedi Order. Although he was polite, Marrik refused to tell a lie, which would often make him appear callous, despite the fact that he often tried to gentle his words. Despite being a natural mediator, Marrik often refused to get involved with politics. A loyal friend and companion, Marrik was generally thought to be dependable and reliable.

A lover of knowledge, Marrik had a large array of interests and was constantly studying. His greatest interests lay in the fields of medicine, history, botany and philosophy. Even in his later years, despite having much knowledge and experience, he considered himself to be a novice, stating that "one never knows everything; one's training is never complete." He had great knowledge and insight on Jedi lore, Jedi history and the Force, which lead to many Jedi consulting him on affairs.

Physical Description
Being an, Marrik looked very different from the average. His skin was a deep chestnut brown in coloration and glossy. He had two mouths and a hump. Being of advanced age, he stood in a slightly stooped position. In his youth, however, he was taller than most s. His eyes were a very dark brown that appeared black. On his hump was a green dappled pattern.

Marrik often wore flowing s, usually in earth tones such as brown or tan. Like most Ithorians, he didn't wear shoes. When outside of robes, his attire was spartan and practical. His robes often had hoods made to accommodate his Ithorian physique. He also wore a set of meditation beads, which were made out of carved wood.

Powers and Abilities
"The mysteries of the Force are yours to discover. I cannot tell you what to learn and what not to learn. Each and every person takes something unique and different from their opening up to the Force. But know this, students: no matter how great or small, one's training is never complete."

- Marrik Quee

Lightsaber Training
Like all Jedi, Marrik received instruction in. He had knowledge of Form I: Shii-Cho and Form III: Soresu, with Soresu being his preferred method of combat. Soresu, being a defensive form, fit closely with Marrik's pacifistic nature, as the form generally relied on parries, subtle dodges and deflection instead of aggression. Unlike some, Marrik preferred to avoid combat altogether. As such, he was an adherent to Form "Zero": he used diplomacy and reason in place of combat or aggression, utilizing force only as the last resort. Marrik oftentimes didn't carry a lightsaber or weapon on him, preferring to use persuasion and the Force instead.

Over the course of his life, Marrik constructed one. His first lightsaber was constructed, as was traditional, in the ice caves of. The saber was very simple, featuring a minimalistic and elegant design, with a "fountainhead" blade emitter. After the Clone Wars, with the rise of the Empire, Marrik destroyed the weapon as he went into hiding, feeling too ashamed to carry one. For many years later, Marrik wielded a staff fashioned from japor ivory wood that he used primarily as a walking stick. He refused to construct a new one, a notion that brought confusion and criticism from fellow Jedi, including his own Padawan.

Force Abilities
Marrik's true strength lay in his command of the Force. He was greatly skilled in the fields of, and. His was regarded by some as a master of Telekinesis, capable of moving objects, even large and heavy ones, with ease. Because of his disposition, Marrik refused to wield the more destructive variants of Telekinesis, including Crush and Choke. As with other Force-sensitives, he could use the abilities, and , although he preferred to avoid using Mind Trick, stating that the mind was an extremely fragile thing. Via Telepathy, he could mentally communicate with others, as well as sense feelings and thoughts.

His Ithorian ancestry, as well as his training by Justinus Sensus, gave Marrik the ability to use a handful of unorthodox Force techniques. Because of his Ithorian physique, Marrik was capable of performing Force Bellow but refrained from doing so. He had skill in the powers of Plant Surge and. He had great knowledge on many Force powers and was considered one of the foremost scholars in the New Jedi Order. Additionally, Marrik was capable of using after many years of study and meditation. He only used the technique twice in his life - and only in the direst of circumstances - as he preferred to avoid devastating attacks, as well as avoid passing judgment.

Behind the Scenes
Marrik was originally created as my first character in the MMO RPG, Star Wars Galaxies. At the time, I didn't role-play and he merely served as a character for game mechanics. After discovering the role-playing server in SWG, he became a central character to my fanon. He is in no way related to, as I used a name generator and didn't (at the time) know about Dani Quee.
