**Darth Marr** was one of, if not the most respected and honourable Sith lords during the Old Republic era being the leader of the dark council. He was trusted to be Emperor Vitiate's apprentice and being the figurehead of the empire and even being considered by many as the Emperor. Marr was provided with a gift of eternal life and a source of power from Vitiate living for over half a million years eventually sacrificing himself to save Arya Skywalker from Darth Sidious after Marr truly realised how little he cared for the people under his command.

## Biography

### Early Life

Vren Marre was born in 547,000 BBY in Mandalore, to a noble family part of House Viszla. Marre was a direct descendant of Tarre Viszla, the first Mandalorian Jedi and force-sensitive. Unlike his family and friends, Marre did not acknowledge the Mandalorian ways and was intrigued by the force, spending his free time reading about Tarre and the then Jeedi order, wishing that one day he could be able to use the force and join the Jeedi. Marre was trained in Mandalorian combat, particularly ways to defeat Jeedi.

When Marre was at the age of 14, the 1st Hyperspace War between the Republic and Dark Jedi (who were actually the first Sith) began and Mandalore decided that this would be a perfect opportunity to defeat both groups to obtain galaxy-wide supremacy and convert the republic to their warrior-like religion. For a couple of years, spies simply observed the conflict and after predicting that the Dark Jedi would lose the war, Mandalorian soldiers were sent into battle, along with the 16 year old trained Marre, to defeat dark jedi forces.

### Imprisonment

Marre thought against dark jedi, defeating many. However, after a few months, a battalion of dark jedi captured the Mandalorian and locked him up as well as other Mandalorians for experiments. The Sith performed these tests to understand force sensitivity and to see if any of the Mandalorians could use the force and therefore be corrupted to the ways of the Sith. Marre and a few others were identified to have force sensitivity and it was decided that Marre would be trained in the ways of the Sith to become a loyal asset.

### Training

In his later life, Marr described his early training to be a blur, only remembering torture and lightsaber form techniques and force abilities. Marre was originally given to a low-level Sith master, but thanks to his Mandalorian training as well as his natural skills with a lightsaber, he managed to easily kill his master. Other Sith were not interested in training Marre, viewing him as too powerful. There was only one Sith prepared to train Marr who he himself was looking for an apprentice; Tenebrae, otherwise known as the Dark Skywalker and the embodiment of darkness.

When Marr met Tenebrae he was gifted with a luscious feast. Tenebrae himself dawned a golden traditional Mandalorian robe and acted very polite to the young warrior. Marr dug himself in to the food as Tenebrae simply smiled as he talked about his plans for the young Sith. After a few minutes however, Marr began to start to choke as blood had made it's way to his mouth. He turned away as he threw up viciously as Tenebrae laughed hysterically. Marr asked why he would do this as Tenebrae coolly replied that his training would begin the next morning.

The next morning, Marr arrived at the exact scheduled time to find 5 of his best friends and family from Mandalore. He asked what was the meaning of this as Tenebrae simply requested his apprentice to kill every one of them. Of course he refused and attempted to strike at the dark lord who with one effortless swing blasted Marr back with dark energy. He repeated his command Marr once again tried to attack Tenebrae. This famously went on for days before he was too tired to carry on. For the last time, Tenebrae demanded for Marr to kill the Mandalorians and with a heavy heart, he did so with tears in his eyes.

Tenebrae simply looked on his apprentice and the corpses of the Mandalorians satisfied and told Marr his next lesson would be the next day. Marr continued his training for the next 15 years until Marr was around 23. It is speculated, Tenebrae shared his backstory and who he truly was to his young apprentice.
