Biography
Merik's origin is unknown as he only came to promenance on Eriadu as the contact between Darth Galepius and local smugglers. It was on Eriadu that he came into contact with Jedi Master Dooku and his apprentice Qui-Gon JInn. He duelled with the Jedi on the streets of Eriadu's capital before he fled to the Xeros Asteroids.

When Dooku and Qui-Gon were captured persuing him, Merik looked forward to overseeing their torture. However, he was recalled to Eriadu before he could watch it happen.

Merik heard of the Jedi's escape and was presnt at the Battle of Eriadu. He stood on the wall before it was breached and he was shot in the leg. During the final stages of the battle he saw Qui-Gon's uncouncious body lying on the floor and made his way over to it, ready to kill the helpless Jedi. He was so focused on his target that he failed to see Mera Dan, a former ally of the Disciples, come up behind him and shoot him in the back. Mera fired twice into his body to make sure he was dead before he left.
