Marhai Nearoth was a male Duros Dark Acolyte who served as a loyal acolyte to Count Dooku during the Clone Wars.
Biography[]
Born on the planet Duro, Marhai was scheduled to be taken to the Jedi Order. Unfortunately, Jedi Master Fregel Roan was killed by Aurra Sing at around 36 BBY. Four years which led to the Battle of Naboo, Marhai left his home, and traveled to Coruscant to meet with the Jedi Council. However, Master Yoda told him that he was too old to be trained as a Jedi. Enraged, Marhai told the Council that they destroyed his dream for no reason, and that he really wanted to become a true Jedi. He began to hold a grudge against the Council and the Jedi Order for not accepting him into the Order and that he would become something even more than a Jedi.
Fourteen years later which led to the Clone Wars, Marhai met with Count Dooku on Serenno. Dooku sensed the hate against the Jedi, and decided to teach him in the ways of the dark side. Marhai believed that the Jedi were weak and that they would never accept those that were too old to join the Jedi Order. Seduced to the dark side, Marhai pledged his loyalty, becoming one of Dooku's deputies along with other Dark Acolytes.
During the war, Marhai found a young twelve year old girl named Quillara Adeen who was never accepted into the Jedi Order. Seeing how upset she was, Marhai convinced her to forget the Jedi ways and would teach her a different power. Quillara begged him to train her, in which the Acolyte agreed. Marhai took Quillara as his apprentice.

At around 20 BBY, Marhai and his apprentice traveled to the planet Glee Anselm where they killed the Nautolan king, causing the Anselmi to surrender themselves to the Separatists which would cause a civil war on Anselm.
