Personal Information

Appearance

Standing at 6 ft 0 in (183 cm) and a member of the Hapan race, Marcus carries himself with a mixture of cold and warm. His charisma and charm bestowed by his Hapan ancestry mixed with his calculating efficiency earned as an Imperial officer keeps diplomats and subordinates guessing as to his temperament.

Marcus is rarely caught out of his COMPNOR dress greys, preferring to present professionalism and Imperial Pride at all times. The cloth perfectly creased, boots shined to a high sheen and his insignia perfectly balanced above his breast. His gait is confident and his sharp symmetrical features command respect.

Though handsome in the eyes of most human species, Marcus is considered average by most Hapans, which hindered his early ambitions among his own people.

Pre-Imperial History

Childhood

Marcus as a child in his fathers manufacturing plant.

Marcus grew up on the planet Hapan as the youngest of five siblings. In his youth on Hapan, Marcus Elensar found solace and purpose in the solitude of his mechanical interests, a stark contrast to the societal expectations of his matriarchal culture. His isolation wasn't just physical but emotional, as his family's indifference forced him to seek companionship in the machines he worked on. He was largely ignored by his parents Fenus and Alora Elensar with much of their focus on their four daughters whose future prospects seemed promising.

This early life of quiet rebellion and self-taught expertise in technology shaped Marcus into a resilient and resourceful individual. His fascination with mechanics wasn't merely an escape but a foundation for his unique path, setting him apart from his family and peers. This period of his life, marked by introspection and a developing mastery over technology, laid the groundwork for his eventual journey beyond the confines of his home planet and into the broader galaxy, where his skills and unique perspective would find a wider stage.

Loric Elensar, Marcus's maternal grandfather, was a retired engineer who had once worked in the shipyards of Corellia. Despite the family's modest means, Loric possessed a wealth of knowledge and a passion for engineering that transcended his current status. He saw potential in Marcus's fascination with machinery and became the boy's mentor, teaching him the principles of engineering, physics, and the art of crafting with precision and care. Loric's workshop, a cramped space filled with old tools, parts, and half-completed projects, became a sanctuary for Marcus. It was here, under the dim light, that Marcus assembled his first functioning droid from scraps, a pivotal achievement that Loric celebrated as if it were a masterpiece.

Sela Tarnis was a neighbor's daughter, around Marcus's age, who shared an interest in technology but was drawn more to the software side, programming, and slicing. Sela's friendship introduced Marcus to the interconnectedness of hardware and software, expanding his understanding of how machinery could be brought to life and controlled. Their partnership was symbiotic, with Marcus focusing on the physical aspects of their projects and Sela bringing them to operational status through her coding skills. Together, they created a small surveillance droid, which they used to play pranks on their siblings and neighbors, showcasing their talents and forming a bond that was rare in Marcus's life.

These relationships, with Loric's guidance and Sela's companionship, provided Marcus with a sense of belonging and achievement that he didn't find within his immediate family. Loric's encouragement fostered in Marcus a belief in his abilities and the potential to rise beyond the expectations of Hapan society. Meanwhile, Sela's friendship offered a glimpse into the possibilities of collaboration, teaching Marcus the value of combining diverse skills toward a common goal. These early experiences and relationships not only shaped Marcus's childhood but also laid the foundation for his future endeavors, instilling in him the confidence and skills that would guide him on his path to becoming more than what his origins might have predetermined.

Teenage Years

Marcus Elensar's cousin Tyris Elensar

A pivotal moment in Marcus's teenage years was sparked by a catastrophic event at his family's small manufacturing business. A critical system failure, one that Marcus had warned his parents about but was overlooked due to their focus on his sisters, resulted in a devastating fire that nearly bankrupted the family. Feeling responsible yet frustrated by his family's refusal to heed his advice, Marcus became disillusioned with his place on Hapan. This incident underscored his capabilities and the limitations of his current environment, driving him to seek a future where his skills and insights would be valued.

The disaster also served as a wake-up call for Marcus's parents, who began to recognize his talent and potential in ways they had never before. Despite the late acknowledgment, the damage to Marcus's aspirations and sense of belonging had been done. He yearned for a setting where merit and ability outweighed tradition and prejudice.

Tyris Elensar, aware of his cousin's plight and potential, saw an opportunity. He offered Marcus a position within the Imperial Mining Corporation, promising not just employment but a chance to apply his skills on a grand scale, to be part of something larger than himself. For Marcus, this offer was a lifeline, a chance to step into a role that appreciated his technical prowess and to escape the confines of his previous life.

Accepting Tyris's offer became the turning point that propelled Marcus into a new phase of his life, setting the stage for a future where his contributions would be crucial to the operations and successes of the Imperial Mining Corporation. This decision marked the end of his youth on Hapan and the beginning of his journey in the broader galaxy, where his talents would be tested and honed in the service of the Empire.

At the Imperial Academy, Marcus Elensar found his true calling. Initially underestimated due to his quiet demeanor and Hapan heritage, he quickly distinguished himself through his unmatched technical prowess and innovative thinking. Marcus's ability to solve complex engineering problems and improve upon existing Imperial technology caught the attention of his instructors. His tenure at the academy was marked by a transformative project: the development of a highly efficient power distribution system for Star Destroyers, which significantly reduced energy waste and improved operational efficiency. This achievement not only earned him top honors but also the respect of his peers and superiors, setting the stage for a promising career within the Empire. Marcus's time at the academy was a period of intense growth, where he honed his skills, formed crucial alliances, and laid the groundwork for his future endeavors in the Imperial ranks.

In a notable episode at the Imperial Academy, Marcus found himself at odds with a fellow recruit named Joran Vell and under the critical eye of Instructor Tarnis. Marcus, in his zeal for efficiency, covertly modified the targeting system of the Academy's TIE simulators to be more responsive. However, during a competitive simulation exercise, Joran, an ace pilot with a strong sense of pride, lost control of his simulator, leading to a virtual crash that humiliated him in front of peers. Accusations flew, and tempers flared, resulting in a disciplinary hearing before Instructor Tarnis. While Marcus faced censure for unauthorized modifications, the incident revealed his technical genius, impressing Tarnis but also teaching Marcus a hard lesson in the importance of protocol and chain of command. This event, while a source of tension, ultimately forged a begrudging respect between Marcus and Joran, and highlighted the need for Marcus to navigate his brilliance within the confines of Imperial discipline.
