Galen Marek

Galen Marek was a human male who lived during the waning days of the Galactic Empire and the reign of the First Order. The son of Mistress Nizlat of the Pantheons, he was taken as the Sith assassin of Darth Sidious, the Dark Lord of the Sith, and given the name Starkiller. After revealing the existence of Starkiller to the Rebellion, Galen Marek supposedly fell in a lightsaber duel against Quinlan Vos during the Battle of an unidentified planet. Over a decade later after Darth Vader: A Star Wars Story, he returned from exile and formed the criminal army known as the Stone Army, intent on reclaiming the power he had lost. His quest for revenge against Quinlan Vos and the Sith continued into the New Republic age, bringing him into conflict with the early resistance against the First Order.

As a Sith apprentice, Galen Marek believed it was his destiny to rule the galaxy and bring about the end of the Jedi and the Rebel Alliance. After the Battle of the unidentified planet, that destiny was held by Darth Vader, a former Jedi Master who became Sidious' new apprentice. The Sith's war to destroy the Rebel Alliance began without Galen Marek, as the Galactic Civil War raged across the galaxy, but Galen Marek returned during the conflict and brought the Stone Army together to destroy his enemies and regain what he had lost.
