BIOGRAPHY:
Early life
The Mirialan Marten was born in a lower class traders family on Coruscant. Marten's childhood wasn't easy, his parents didn't have much and had to work hard to get food on the table. The boy didn't have much of a childhood, as he was expected to help his parents. But at a young age they noticed that their boy was very intelligent for his age. Both his parents believed he was destined for more, and wanted a better life for him. They worked even harder, to make sure that Marten would get a proper education.
In his early teens it its was clear that the young Marten was ahead of his fellow students. His teachers saw he had a bright future, but his parents could no longer afford his education. His teacher however found a solution, suggesting that he would have an internship at one of the best Science facilities on Coruscant, that way he would get a salary to pay for education and learn at the same time. 
Assistant
Marten was 15, when he got a position at the Republic Science and Technical Center, as an assistant of one the brightest minds there, the Arkanian Emmett Lathrop. Together with Lathrop he worked on many projects. The Arkanian offered him a permanent position the day Marten finally graduated, one he accepted at once.
In the following years as the young Mirialan worked his way up the ladder, he also got closer to his mentor Lathrop. They found a common interest in the subject of 'Time travel'. In 160 ABY The two began to work after hours on a time portal, all went well until their superiors found out. The only way to be allowed to continue their work was to prove the portal would work. But the portal wasn't ready to be tested and exploded, destroying most of the lab. 
The Arkanian was fired instantly, Marten however wasn't. But he was loyal to his mentor and resigned the same day. 
The Je'daii Order 
After resigning Marten did his best to find work for both him and his mentor Lathrop. But it turned out to be more difficult and his mentor already gave up.  
One night, Marten received an urgent message from Emmett, so meet him as soon as possible. Worried that his mentor gotten himself into trouble again, the young scientist hurried to meet him. To his relief it was the opposite, Lathrop had come across a great opportunity for them both, a job on Tython at the Je'daii Temple of Science. 
Marten agreed and the two went to Tython where they worked on restoring the old temple. A few months after arriving on Tython, Marten met Grand Master Bathor, the leader of the New Je'daii Order. Not much later she took him to inspect Bodhi, the temple or art.
At Bodhi the young scientist and the Grand Master cams across a crew of Twi'lek thieves, who were trying to break into the vault underneath the temple. Bathor dealt with them and eventually let them go. But one of them didn't want to leave, a young girl named Shazza Fortuna, whished to join the Je'daii. Grand Master Bathor accepted her to join.
Over the next few months, the young Mirialan assisted in the restoration of Bodhi and became quite close to the Twi'lek girl, becoming good friends.
The Battle of Tython 
In 162 ABY, the temple science was evacuated due to the growing threat of a war between the Darkside and the Je'daii. Marten and Lathrop took their studies to Stav Kesh where they remained until the council ordered the fleet to depart from Tython.
Like most civilians, Marten got aboard the Harpy and during the battle he stayed in the mess hall with Shazza and Galmar.
