**Marcus Sohl** was a Mandalorian human male warrior who lived during the waning years of the Galactic Republic. A member of Clan Ordo, he and his brother Raman fought in the Great Clan Wars, a series of inter-clan conflicts between the reformist True Mandalorians and the violent splinter group "Death Watch" that engulfed the Mandalorian homeworld. Following the civil war, Sohl traveled with his clan to Dxun after Duchess Satine Kryze, with the intent of preventing another war, ordered the expulsion of any Mandalorians who would not give up their warrior traditions. During this time Sohl became moody and detached, desiring further meaning in life beyond the limitations of exile from Mandalore, and eventually struck out on his own to become a mercenary.

At some point Sohl met Lara Shan, a Force-sensitive woman who was a direct descendant of the ancient Jedi and Sith Lord Revan, the most hated figure in Mandalorian society. Despite this, however, Sohl entered a romantic relationship with Shan and would later marry her, even giving birth to a son together. As a result, Sohl was disowned by his clan and family as a Mandalorian and then banished for good. Disheartened, Sohl nevertheless continued to live in peace with his new family. However, that peace would be disrupted when their existence was discovered by the Sith; Darth Maul was sent by his master to kidnap their son and, in an effort to save his family, Marcus fought back against the Sith apprentice, which led to his death. His legacy would live on in the life of his son Jarik, who would grow up to become a legendary Jedi Master and heal the rift between the Shan's and Mandalorians. Jarik and his wife Ahsoka Tano would later name their son Aven Marcus Shan in honor of Sohl.
