House Marec

== Earliest Known Record ==
The Earliest known records of House Marec was during the Great Hyperspace War under the command of Marxon Marec more commonly known as Marxon the Aegis. Marxon stood loyal to Naga Sadow even when proof shown by Ludo Kresh detailed him as a traitor. When Naga Sadow went into exile Marxon didn't want to leave his Emperor but was ordered to do so that he and his family may live on to remain loyal should he ever return to reclaim his place as Emperor of the Sith. Marxon then swore allegiance to Vitiate in order to preserve his family and created his family's motto (LOYALTY ABOVE ALL ELSE) to remember his family's allegiance.
Marxon Stated that he had ancestors that went back to the Hundred Year Darkness when the dark jedi first became the Sith when his ancestor sided with the dark jedi. The Hawk on the Marec shield is from the Avril that was owned by the first Marec, Corax when he went to Yavin 8 during the Hundred Year Darkness and took an egg from it's nest and raised the hawk into a loyal companion. The Bones of Talon were in the Marec's estate, now currently in the possession of Tyrol Marec. 
== Current Records ==
The Marec's are still relatively strong but divided for the first time in it's history. Depending on the account each story differs as to why the family is divided. 
Xeno blames Tyrol's mercy and kindness as well as his wrath and jealousy as the reason of the family's division.
Tyrol blames Xeno and Karas for the division since Xeno gave orders that led to Tyrol's wife Leeath's death and the betrayal of his son Aegor. Tyrol also blames Karas since he force pulled Tyrol towards their sister Kayla while he was in a fit of rage which ended in her death by Tyrol's hand and to Tyrol's exile.
Aegor blames both Xeno and Tyrol for the Division. Xeno due to evil nature and his own selfish gains. Tyrol because he pushed Aegor to the point where it just became senseless slaughter to which there was no honour.
Tyrol refuses to brand his son a traitor due to Aegor sticking to the Marec code. To date Tyrol and Aegor are the closest at retaining family unity, the 2 branches refuse to act against the other unless provoked by the other.
== Coat of Arms ==
The Marec Coat of Arms was designed by Corax Marec but was updated by Marxon Marec during his time as head of the family. 
The original coat of arms was red and had Talon the Avril in the centre. Red meaning Warrior and the Hawk meaning Protection and Strength.
The updated and current Coat of Arms developed by Marxon was changed slightly. The Red was reduced to the secondary colour and another colour was added, Blue meaning Loyalty and the saying was added Loyalty Above All Else. The red was changed to the secondary colour due to the fact that Loyalty must come first before anything else which resulted in the family motto being created. 
The original Coat of Arms stood for Warriors of Protection and Strength.
The current version of the Coat of Arms stands for Loyal Warriors of Protection and Strength.
To try and buy out the Marec's loyalty or trying to force the Marec's to switch sides is a blight on the family and is punished with immediate death for the person trying to influence the Marec. For a Marec to become a turncoat without good reason results in a branding showing their shame and depending on the method of the betrayal can lead to execution.
== Titles ==
The Marec's were lowborn until the Hundred Year Darkness when Corax split from the Jedi with the other dark jedi and created his own house. However until the reign of Marxon the Aegis the Marec's never held any titles. Marxon was granted the title of king by Naga Sadow, Marxon accepted the offer on the condition that he wouldn't be called King Marxon since he believed it placed him above his lord. However Marxon renounced his title as king when Vitiate took over the title of sith emperor to avoid any unnecessary complications. Luckily Vitiate took a liking to the Marec family and they became of his most loyal retainers, Vitiate even let Marxon and his decendants hold the titles they held onto but they couldn't retain the title of king and had to hold the title of Duke. To this day the Marec's are still dukes however they refuse to be called by their titles but rather by their titles in the Military. 
With the coronation of Tyrol at the hands of Seer the Marec's now hold the title of King for the first time since their formation. A title which was once turned turned down by the Humble Warrior Marxon Marec during the reign of Naga Sadow.
