Appearance:
Backstory: Galen Marek, codenamed Starkiller, was a male Human apprentice of the Sith Lord Darth Vader. A powerful Force-user who lived during the era of the Galactic Empire, Marek originated from the Wookiee home planet of Kashyyyk as the sole offspring of two Jedi Knights—Mallie and Kento Marek—who deserted the Jedi Order during the Clone Wars. Following the death of his mother, the young Marek's father was killed in battle by Darth Vader. Though only a child, Marek possessed an exceptionally strong connection to the Force that the Dark Lord of the Sith sought to exploit.
Thus, Darth Vader abducted Marek in order to train the orphan in the ways of the Sith Order. Although the Sith were limited to only two members at any given time, Vader nonetheless trained Marek as a secret apprentice during his own apprenticeship to Darth Sidious, the Sith Lord who ruled the galaxy as Emperor Palpatine. The physical and psychological trauma of Vader's unforgiving training regimen resulted in Marek's immersion within the dark side of the Force as his Master intended. With his childhood memories suppressed and his original identity forgotten, Marek only knew himself as the Dark Lord's apprentice; a Sith assassin who operated under the codename "Starkiller" and a living weapon to be deployed against the enemies of Darth Vader.
In addition to the assassination of numerous targets that included Vader's many rivals, the apprentice trained for years in preparation for the day when he would be ready to aid his Master in a confrontation with Darth Sidious. This singular goal became Starkiller's obsession as he longed to become a true Sith Lord. The pinnacle of Starkiller's training saw him deployed against Jedi targets for the first time in his life in 3 BBY and culminated in victories against the fugitive Jedi Masters Rahm Kota, Kazdan Paratus and Shaak Ti. With the death of Ti, one of the few members of the Jedi High Council who survived Order 66, Darth Vader declared that the time had come to execute their plan to overthrow the Emperor. Elated at the prospect of finally fulfilling his sole purpose in life, Starkiller rendezvoused with Vader on the Executor only to be betrayed and severely wounded by his Master who claimed that Sidious's spies had discovered the existence of the secret apprentice. Pressured by the Emperor, Vader demonstrated his loyalty by seemingly killing Starkiller. In truth, the betrayal was a ruse that allowed Vader to save his apprentice's life.
Upon Starkiller's full recovery in 2 BBY, Vader revealed his contingency plan: the creation of a full-scale rebellion against the Galactic Empire. The apprentice was instructed by his Master to assemble an army of rebels and dissidents in order to distract the Emperor's attention with a civil war, hence allowing them both another opportunity to assassinate Sidious. Though bitter and resentful toward Vader, Starkiller complied and searched several parts of the galaxy for influential contacts that would be crucial to the formation of an insurrection on a galactic-scale. Through Starkiller's efforts, three disillusioned members of the Imperial Senate—Bail Organa, Garm Bel Iblis and Mon Mothma—convened on the planet Corellia where they agreed to join their resources together in opposition to the Emperor's rule. However, the mission proved to be another deception on Vader's part; the Dark Lord betrayed Starkiller once more and captured the senators. Outraged by the discovery that his Master was unwilling to challenge Darth Sidious with Starkiller's aid, the former apprentice journeyed to the incomplete Death Star and intended to rescue his new-found allies from execution. Abandoning the persona of Starkiller, he re-embraced his Jedi heritage as Galen Marek through the partial recovery of his suppressed memories.
During the apprentice's infiltration of the nearly-complete battlestation, Galen Marek confronted and defeated his former Master in battle. Sidious hoped to claim Marek as his new apprentice and goaded him to kill Vader. Instead, Marek attacked the Emperor in a move to provide the senators with enough time to escape the Death Star. His plan succeeded, but ultimately cost the apprentice his life. Nevertheless, his sacrifice facilitated the formation of the Alliance to Restore the Republic and the outbreak of the Galactic Civil War. The early founders of the Rebellion remembered the apprentice as Galen Marek, the original architect of the Rebel Alliance, and honored his memory by adopting the Marek family crest as the official emblem of the Alliance.
Companions: None
Enemies/rivals: The Galactic Empire, Darth Vader, Darth Sidious
Allies/family/friends: Kento Marek (deceased father), deceased mother, Jedi Master Rahm Kota, Juno Eclipse, Alliance to Restore the Republic
Weapons: After losing his first lightsaber in space after Vader's 'betrayal,' Galen was given the lightsaber he took from Rahm Kota to act as his replacement. This saber had a single green adegan crystal as the focusing lens, but he changed it to a blue adegan crystal that he obtained from the hut on Kashyykk where his father was killed by Vader; his father's lightsaber crystal.
Gear/gadgets: Apart from a comlink and a holocommunicator, Galen has a Rangefinder that he uses to scope out enviornments during and before missions.
Skills/talents: Galen is an expert lightsaber duelist, having defeated Darth Vader and Jedi Council member Shaak Ti, both of whom were regarded as master duelists in their times. He uses bits and pieces of every lightsaber form, but he particularly specializes in Form III Soresu, Form V Shien, and Form VII Juyo, the latter of which is his preferred style even though he uses a Shien reversed grip on his lightsaber, which throws off many of his opponents.
Powers/abilities: Galen's usage of the Force is more for offense and aggression rather than any light side abilities, since most of his life was spent training in the dark side. His telekinesis is powerful enough to grab TIE Fighters mid-flight and redirect the course of a crashing Imperial Star Destroyer (that was an annoying section of the game). His Force Lightning is strong enough to kill a standard enemy in one short burst and temporarily short out an AT-ST and overload a TIE Fighter's systems, and his Force Pushes can send enemies flying hundreds of feet in any direction. His most devastating ability, however, is his Force Repulse. When Galen uses the Force Repulse, he can charge up Force energy for a period of time then unleash it in a massive burst that can completely disentegrate weak enemies and ravage the enviornment around him after he uses it. He can also use it for tuteminis to deflect blaster bolts and Force Lightning without the use of his lightsaber, and he can use the mind trick for various uses both in combat and out of combat.
Weaknesses: Galen is quick to aggression in any situation and the attachments he has to his close friends can be easily exploited to bring out his rage, making him succeptible to fall to the dark side again.
