"To be honest, I never expected much of myself. Being alive in this galaxy for more than three thousands years is not a gift, but a curse. Although I died in my first life, I feel more real than that of what was my original self. I am proud of being Zenolian, a bounty hunter as well. I have killed of numerous of important people, senators, admirals, ambassadors, you name it. I don't regret it at all, removing those from the face of the galaxy was my task, and I delivered it, and I am a Mandalorian. I am a Zenolian Bounty Bunter, and I don the blood of my parents and will lead my clan to our true purpose. A bounty hunter is all I need to be."
-Malek Kriya
Malek Kriya, (Mal'iak Crey-ia in Mando'a) nicknamed Mal'Ko or Falcon, was a renowned Mandalorianwarrior, bounty hunter, mercenary and assassin, younger brother to bounty hunter Jorak Kriya, husband of an unknown female Mandalorian, later bounty hunter Xasha Lazen and later, Sith Empress Darth Deborrah, and the father of notable bounty hunters Mirta Kriya, & Boba Kriya. Malek was born to Mandalorian bounty hunters Dir Kriya and Elisa Jorte. A Force-sensitiveZenolian, born on Zeno in 3,700 BBY, Malek's parents were famed and notorious bounty hunters who were responsible for the deaths of numerous political leaders, and the destruction of hundreds of cults. Malek's family was known to allign themselves with the highest bidder. Two years later they moved to Concord Dawn along with the rest of their clan. Raised in a Zenolian Mandalorian clan, named the Kriya Clan, Malek was trained in the Mandalorian ways. For several years, Malek trained and lived his life as a bounty hunter starting at the age of thirteen. When he was fifteen, Malek's parents died in an shuttle accident, after being attacked by Jedi, leaving him as the only one capable of leading his clan. He became leader of the Kriya Clan in 3,687 BBY, and he eventually kept the clan alive, making it the most active and longest living Mandalorian Clan in history. In 3,664 BBY Malek came into contact with Mandalorianbounty hunterShae Vizla, with who he whom he would build a partnership. Three years later the two were contacted by the Sith LordDarth Malgus who was in need of their assistance. Enlisting their services to the Sith Empire, the two Mandalorians made use of their martial skills when undertaking the most risk-intensive missions. Having served in part of the Imperial force charged with attacking the planet of Alderaan, they later launched a strike on a Republic political envoy, which resulted in the death of Shae's brother. When the Empire elected to mobilize an attack on the galacticcapitalworld of Coruscant, Malek was given the task to kill of any surrounding guards stationed at the Jedi Temple, while Vizsla disabled the planet's defense grid, located within the Jedi Temple. With Malgus leading a frontal assault, Malek, alongside Vizsla went of to kill several members of the Temple Security Force during the resultant battle between the assailing Sith warriors and the defending Jedi Knights. With each completing their mission, the two Mandalorians later left the capital in their jetpacks. For the next several years, both Malek and Shae would work together on occasion, mainly when it benefited them. A year prior to the wars ending, Malek broke ties with the Empire, after stating he wanted to go on and work alone, to which Shae agreed, and the two broke ways. At one point, Malek met an unnamed female Mandalorian bounty hunter, with whom he would father a child. In 332 BBY, Malek was killed by an assassin following his retirement. Surprisingly, a Kaminoan, who had admired Malek came to his funeral and said that he could clone their fallen leader, and that the clone would be just like the original, but he would obviously start out as a child. Since the order would come through his daughter alone, Talia Kriya decided that she would have her father cloned, much to the approval of the clan. Taking up her father's mantle as leader, Talia led the clan through hundreds of attacks on rivaling Mandalorian Clans, and attacks on the New Mandalorians for a decade.
Ten years after Malek's death, the Kaminoan successfully cloned Malek after numerous failed attempts, and was made unaltered, as Talia Kriya had demanded. However, wanting to take him for his own, the Kaminoan ordered Malek to kill Talia, but since the clone suffered from memories of his original template, he killed his creator by snapping his neck. Taking a ship, the clone took the name Malek Kriya and went to Concord Dawn, where he would be greeted by Talia, whom he quickly saw as his daughter, and Talia as her father. Given the title of clan leader, Malek started to lead the clan through the same course as the original Malek and Shae had done. As soon as he reached thirteen years of age, (although he looked like a twenty year old Malek), Malek reinstated the bounty hunter title, and mercenary title that had died out after the Kriya Clan suffered a heavy loss against a surprising Republic attack. Through his actions, Malek recreated the Kriya Clan, making it bigger than before, as Talia established numerous Kriyan bases across the galaxy. The clone himself became a better version to that of his original.
Three centuries later in 60 BBY, Malek joined the True Mandalorians, where he helped in fighting against the Mandalorian splinter group named the Death Watch. Up until Jaster Mereel's death, Malek served with Jango Fett who became the new leader. When the True Mandalorian were defeated, Malek escaped the Jedi team who had been responsible and went rogue, committing several assassinations on several senators. In 22 BBY Malek ventured of to Concordia to join the Death Watch, via infiltration. Pledging their services to it's leader Pre Vizsla, the leader eventually accepted. Malek eventually became a lieutenant in the same year, and became Vizsla's personal assassin.
In that same year, Malek joined the Mandalorian Guild, where he served as Commander, and quickly became friends with several members of the Guild, especially Beviin Kabur, whom he saw as a older brother. He served with the Guild for several years, joining them in several missions, which focused on attacking the Death Watch. He was also a part of the Cuy'val Dar. Malek also participated with the Death Watch in several missions. At this time, the Death Watch would form an alliance with the Confederacy of Independent Systems. After falling out with the Confederacy of Independent Systems, the Death Watch took refuge on Carlac, where Malek would help Mandalorian Guild in attacking the Death Watch. In 21 BBY, he would marry Xasha Lazen, a Zenolian Mandalorian he had been in a relationship with since 29 BBY. In the same year, prior to their marriage, Xasha gave birth to a young boy named Boba Kriya, who would follow in his father and mother's footsteps. Later in 17 BBY, they gave birth to Mirta Kriya who would also become a Mandalorian bounty hunter.
In 20 BBY, Malek joined Bo-Katan and Pre Vizsla, along with their new allies Sith LordDarth Maul and his apprenticeSavage Opress in taking Mandalore, and relieving it from the pacifist and peaceful Mandaloriangovernment, in the hopes of bringing back what was "their Mandalore". Coming together with an army of criminals from Black Sun and the Pyke Syndicate to the footsoldiers of the Hutt Cartels, they charged in on Mandalore and were successful in taking the planet, until the betrayal of the Sith. Once Vizsla had been killed by Maul, Malek sided with Bo-Katan, and joined her in taking back Mandalore from the Sith proclaimed rulers. He would later fight alongside Bo-Katan, and Xasha Lazen, against the Shadow Collective, in the hopes of removing Maul from power. Malek later returned to his homeworld of Concord Dawn, and later back to the Guild.
After the fall of the Republic in 19 BBY, Malek pledged his services to the Empire after noticing that it would be a great enviorment for bounty hunting. His kin would follow him in the same path, and so would his wife. In 1 BBY, Malek broke ties with the Empire, in order to continue his duties as a Mandalorian, also because they refused to attack a rebel base, that eventually held children. Sadly, Malek's wife Xasha died in 5 ABY after suffering from a deadly illness. In that same era, in 15 ABY, Malek met a powerful young Zenolian female named Deborrah, who was lost in space, and was also a Sith Lord, except she had no ties to other Sith affiliations. Some time after their meeting the two fell in love with one another, to which both worked well together, despite their differences in Sith and Mandalorian. Five years later, the two married on Zeno, and gave birth to three children, and each were named Xasha Kriya, Fiona Kriya, and Zacyt Kriya. For the next several years, Malek fought in many wars. Such were the Mandalorian Clan Wars, the Yuuzhan Vong War, and the Second Galactic Civil War. During the same time, Malek formed a friendship with fellow bounty hunter Boba Fett and Jedi Knight Jaina Solo. In that same era, Malek also met a powerful young Zenolian female named Deborrah, who was lost in space, and was also a Sith Lord, except she had no ties to other Sith affiliations. Upon their meeting the two fell in love with one another, to which both worked well together, despite their differences in Sith and Mandalorian. Five years later, the two married on Zeno, and gave birth to three children, and each were named Xasha Kriya, Fiona Kriya, and Zacyt Kriya. Once the Second Galactic Civil War ended, Malek left with his family and headed to the planet of Zeno, where they made it their new home, and were trained by Ren Ion, who taught them how to properly use their Zenolian powers, and even control them, which made Malek and his entire family stronger. Spending the next eight decades in hiding, Malek was believed to have died, until he made a surprising return to the galaxy in 121 ABY. In 128 ABY, Malek was able to influence Chernan Ordo into forming an alliance with Zeno, escalating the dominance of Mandalore further than any other planet had been able to. Ten years later, after a decade long war in protecting Zeno, Malek returned to Mandalore after discovering that Yaga Auchs had broken the alliance between Mandalore & Zeno, who would dub Zeno as weaklings. Malek would kill Yaga in anger and take the title of Mand'alor for himself. Malek would hold the title for more than one hundred years, thus being the oldest Mandalore ever, and the longest reigning one as well. During this time he came invovled in few conflicts, and such were the Silent Watch/New Mandalorian & Resurgance War, another Unnamed War, & the Imperial/Mandalore Crisis.
"I have been alive for thousands of years, and I have seen it all. The fall of both the Sith Empires and Galactic Republic. There's a reason as to why I have been considered as the best and most deadliest bounty hunter ever.And you my dear Xasha, my wife, you to will become as notorious as me."
"I will?...I mean is that possible?"
"Yes."
-Malek Kriya to Xasha Lazen
A maleMandalorian, Malek Kriya was born on the planet of Zeno in 3,700 BBY, to a Zenolian Mandalorian couple.
Malek Kriya in 3,655 BBY.
Two years later his parents moved to Concord Dawn. His father was named Dir Kriya, while his mother was named Elisa Jorte. Raised as a Mandalorian, Malek wanted to become a bounty hunter, just like his parents. At the age of fifteen, following the death of his parents, Malek became a full-pledged bounty hunter, and the new leader of the Kriya Clan. Already being exceptionally skilled in the use of blasters and in martial arts, he was seen as the most skilled Mandalorian of the time. Leading his clan across the galaxy, Malek collected several bounties, becoming the best bounty hunter ever, of that time. Since he operated as a mercenary group, Malek was often confused for a radical splinter group, who planned in destroying the Republic. For several years, Malek hunted down several assassins, corrupt senators and Republic generals. After this, Malek decided to join the Sith Empire as a full time bounty hunter. Collaborating with Mandalorianbounty hunterShae Vizla, both became close friends, serving the Sith Empire, often attacking several Republic outposts, as Malek would often being paid to hunt down notable Jedi. Ten years after the Sacking of Coruscant, Malek broke ties with the Empire, after deciding to serve the highest bidder, since the Empire was no longer paying him the money had always asked for.
Older brother discovery
"I am Jorak Kriya. Who are you?"
"I am Malek Kriya, your younger brother. At long last we meet."
-Malek and Jorak during their first and final meeting
Malek Kriya kills his brother Jorak after the latter engaged him in a fight.
Around three hundred years after the Cold War, Malek went on and journeyed to the world of Coruscant, after accepting a bounty in taking down a local terrorist that targeted both the underworld and the Galactic City. While arriving at the Underworld, Malek noticed a human flying throughout the air, with bombs in hand. Charging at him, Malek grabbed and dropped the assailant to the ground, making his bombs scatter around him, and Malek landed behind him. Drawing his pistol, Malek told the attacker to drop his weapons and stand up. Following orders, the assailant removed his helmet, and spoke out his name. Shocked, Malek revealed his name, leaving Jorak enraged, and Malek aliked. Knowing he met the man he tried to kill him as a child, Malek took into mind the warniings his parents had given him when he was just a teenager more than three hundred years ago. Having intense hate for one another, the two brothers engaged each other in a hand-to-hand combat fight, of which became deadly. Because of his super strength, Malek often threw several store stands at Jorak and several vehicles, until he managed to hit him in the leg. Pulling out a hidden pistol, Malek shot Jorak six times in the chest and once in the face. Grabbing his body, Malek took Jorak to the Galactic Senate and collected his bounty. He later brought Jorak's body into space and threw it away, leaving it floating in the vast void.
The Following millennium
"I expected nothing seriously. These three thousand years have been kind to me. I have seen many things, fought many wars, killed thousands of senators, assassins, republic commandos, admirals, all that stuff. It's interesting how being noticed can take it's toll."
-Malek Kriya
For the next three thousand years, Malek served as full-time bounty hunter, leading his clan as well, which would grow over time. Malek was praised by many Mandalorians and even bounty hunters. He was known for training the most ruthless assassins and bounty hunters. Later on, in 220 BBY, Malek retired from his career to remain as an instructor and mentor.
First Initial Death
"He may be dead, but he was reborn. That Malek we knew is gone. He is now Phantos, no longer the one we loved. The clone made is the Malek we knew and fought for. We Kriyans are reborn."
"And we shall always live."
-Vhonte and Malek
During what would be know as the final highlight years of his life, it would unquestionably be his last days, and would later be the era of a being with the same name. Two days before Malek died, he had retired from his career as a bounty hunter and mercenary, deciding it would be best to live the rest of his life as a mentor to his clan, due to the fact many of it's new members were children. Although he was still fully physically fit and agile Malek wasn't as how he used to be. Untimely it would be what led to his demise at the hands of a Sith Lord. When looking on at the training camps, Malek was choked to death by an unknown force. Around sixty-five years later, after decades of searching and trails, Vhonte Kriya, a new Kriyan Clan leader, and great granddaughter of Malek, successfully made a clone through the help of the Kaminoans. Bred to be exactly like how the "orginal" Malek was, the clone adopted the name, traits, abilities and family, claiming he had come from them. He also accepted the memories that coursed through his mind. Because of this Vhonte and the rest of the Kriya Clan would see the Malek clone as the original and would do so, even after the original Malek was resurrected as Phantos, and no longer had any memory of his former life, and was dubbed as a malicious being. Galactic history itself would see Malek's clone as the original as well, and was seen as an immortal being, and the newly appointed Phantos was seen as a threat to Mandalorian clans galactic-wide.
The following years
For the next five deacdes, Malek lived up to what his orginal had. Becoming a famed bounty hunter, and the most deadliest, Vhonte gave him his title as leader, to which he accepted, and named Vhonte as second in command. Leading the clan, they fought against several rivaling clans, and went on numerous bounty hunting missions, to the point of where the Kriya Clan was dubbed as a plague. This conintued until the rise of the Death Watch. By the time of the start of the Mandalorian Civil War, Malek was recognized as an immortal being, often dubbed 'Malek the Undead". He later joined the True Mandalorians created by Jaster Mereel. Serving as third-in-command, Malek also helped in training Jango Fett. For eight years, Malek would have his clan aid Jaster in the war against the Death Watch, led by Overlord Tor Vizsla. When Mereel died in 52 BBY, Jango Fett took his place as the new Mand'alor, after Montross failed to do so. Serving his new leader, Malek fought until the war ended in 44 BBY, concluding the fall of the True Mandalorians. Promising Jango, Malek fled with the remaining survivors of his clan, and took refuge on Carlac temporarily, until reemerging to the galaxy in 30 BBY.
Exile (44 BBY-30 BBY)
"My fellow kin, there will be a time when we will return to the galaxy. For now we must exile ourselves. Train our children to be like us. I hope you all understand."
"I agree Malek, you are right. If we don't do what he says, the Jedi will remove us from the galaxy."
"We understand."
"That's why your are second-in-command Vhonte."
-Malek to his kin on their exile
Following the end of the civil war and the collapse of the True Mandalorians, Malek took his clan to the world of Carlac, where they lived in exile for over a decade. During this time, Malek and his clan trained themselves, along with their children. Malek and his clan were never discovered, as they provivded protection for the fellow Ming Po, whom had been targeted by several terrorists of the Death Watch, who wouldn't come to the planet until 20 BBY. After years of hiding, Malek and his clan returned to the galaxy. The Ming Po thanked Malek and his men for their help. Malek gladfully welcomed them, and left the planet, stating he would return one day.
Return and future palns (30 BBY-22 BBY)
"I only seek one thing. To rid the galaxy of the Death Watch."
"And it will be done Malek. We Kriyans are true Mandalorians, and they will die."
-Malek and a Kriya clan member
After returning to the galaxy, Malek and his clan joined the Death Watch, via infiltration, in the goal of making them collapse from the inside. After finding them, Malek and his clan pledged their alligence to the splinter group. The leader of the Death at this time blindly accepted them, but Malek focused his goal on Pre Vizsla as time went on. Unaware of his actions, Malek and his clan were responsible for the deaths of several Death Watch soldiers over the years, resulting in a near-fall, until hundreds of teenagers joined them, making the Death Watch whole again.
Meeting Xasha Lazen
"I thank you, ummmmmmm, what's your name?"
"Malek, Malek Kriya, but you can call me Mal'Ko, or Falcon."
"Nice, good strong name. Doesn't that mean shadow Malek? Your name means shaodw of the night right?"
"No, that's my last name. Malek means hunter, or strong man. Yours means cunning lady."
"Yes it does. Anyways, I-I-I thank you for saving me. You show the heart of a true warrior, a good man."
"Thank you Xasha (grabs and grips Xasha's hands)."
" (cries and tightens grip) Y-Y-Y-Y-Your welcome my dear Malek."
-Malek and Xasha after her recovery from her poisoned state
Malek Krya, prior to meeting Xasha Lazen readies his rifle on his selected target.
Three years upon joining the splinter group, Malek became lieutenant. During this time, Malek met a young female Zenolian bounty hunter, named Xasha Lazen, who reigned from the planet of Zeno. A Mandalorian warrior just like him, the two met each other when on a bounty, which targeted the same person. Not noticing one another, in a mishap, while chasing their target the two bumped into one another, which caused the guards to take notice of them. Deciding he didn't want to be involved with Republic affairs, Malek opened fire on the incoming guards, and Xasha alike, in which both agreed to help one another. However, the two were subdued and arrested and placed in a cell. Waking up, Malek noticed Xasha was still knocked out, in which she had recieved a stronger dose than him. Trying to wake her up, Malek noticed that her vital signs were extremely low. Digging into his Zenolian abilities for the first time in decades. Malek sensed that her body had been poisoned on purpose. Calling out to the guards, the guards ignored his pleas and cared not for her health. Insulting Malek, he became extremely angry and unleashed a powerful Force wave that destroyed the cells door and sent several guards flying, and were killed on impact with a nearby wall. Recovering his jetpack and weapons, Malek carried Xasha's body out to a ship and took it to a doctor. Worried for her health, the doctor told Malek not to worry for he had the tools to save her. After almost an hour of treatment, Xasha awoke to the eyes of Malek, who was sleeping on a nearby couch. Calling for him, the doctor awoke him and left the two alone. Xasha would tearfully thank Malek for saving her life, and vowed to repay him somehow in the future. Engaging in emotional conversation, the two fell in love and began a relationship. The two later married in 21 BBY, and Xasha gave birth to a boy named Boba Kriya that very same year, and in 17 BBY she gave birth to a girl named Mirta Kriya. Xasha would become Malek's first love and wife, but unfortuantely, she died in 5 ABY, but it was his love for her that helped him find a new love.
Clone Wars (22 BBY-19 BBY)
"'Took only three years for me to be a lieutenant, but it took long enough for this war to begin. 'The time to reveal myself is at hand Pre Vizsla, and once you see who I am, you will meet your end."
"My name is Malek Kriya, son of Dir Kriya, and I have been looking for you, to join you."
"I see, but why do you want to join us?"
My beliefs are true to the Mandalorians, and I am faithful to it, and I will serve you all, as my vode. I am a True Mandalorian."
"You have proven yourself. Welcome to the guild Mal'Ko. You are now one of us Vode."
-Malek is welcomed into the Mandalorian Guild by Khaled Skirata
The Mandalorian Guild
A few weeks after the start of the Clone Wars, Malek went in search of the Mandalorian Guild. After receiving word on it's formation, Malek gained an interest in joining them, since they honored the True Mandalorians, and some were apart of them, or their fathers had served them. Searching on several planets of the galaxy, Malek was unable to find them at first, until one day, he unwillingly picked up an incoming transmission from the guild itself, who were contacting one of their own. Due to this, Malek was able to pinpoint the coordinates, and then headed to the Mandalorian sector, to where the Guild headquarters was located. As soon as he departed in his Silent Watch I, Malek landed a few clicks south of the Mmandalorian Guild headquarters, and left his ship. While walking, Malek was spotted by two Mandalorian warriors, one named Khaled Skirata and another unnamed warrior. The two generals of the guild approached him and asked him what his business was. Not wanting any trouble himself, Malek placed all his weapons on the floor, and asked if he could speak with the guild's leader Beviin Kabur, but he was denied it, one because Beviin was not present at the time, and because he would be mistaken for a Death Watch member. Malek was however able to prove that he wasn't a member of the splinter group, and that he was an actual Mandalorian. Khaled welcomed Malek into the guild, announcing him as their new vode. Once he joined, Malek told the guild that he was currently doing a mission of infiltration on the Death Watch, for already which he been doing for three years, and he was doing it to take them out from the inside, since they were responsible for the massacre of almost the entire Morak clan. Asking if he could continue with the mission, the high general granted him the request, but Malek also promised that he were to receive any calls from them (Mandalorian Guild), he would respond and undertake any mission they told him to do, for he gave all his loyalty to the guild, and he would his serve all his new Vode with honor, and show what it meant to be a True Mandalorian.
Joining the Separatists (22 BBY-21 BBY)
"Know this, I do this only to get paid, and it better be a good amount."
"No need to worry bounty hunter, I'll make sure you get your money."
"You better, cause if not, this will be the last thing you ever see. UNDERSTOOD!
Malek as a bounty hunter for the Separatists in 22 BBY.
After joining the Mandalorian Guild, three months would have already passed since the Battle of Geonosis. During this time, Malek came into league with CountDooku and the Separatists, to which he would offer his services to, as a bounty hunter. Starting his career as a bounty hunter once more, his skills and abilities rivaled that of notorious Durosbounty hunterCad Bane, however, Malek did not seek in building any kind of known reputation. Despite this, Malek built his reputation in the most unusual way, to which was either siding with the one who paid him most, or gave him the neediest task. For five months, Malek worked for Nute Gunray as his personal bounty hunter, despite the fact, he would always reject Gunray's mission in going to kill Padmé Amidala, for he found it a waste of time in killing her, and this often led to disputes between the two, with Malek always winning by under threats, or by killing of Gunray's guards. Having strict regulations, Malek always got what what he wanted, as his desires in helping out the Death Watch through lies and deceit. While working under Gunray, Malek often recieved missions from Pre Vizsla as well, which were often small terrorist attacks. Meanless to say, Malek would make quite few appearances in the Clone Wars, because many pieces of information about him was never properly recorded or saved, and after the initiation of Order 66, Malek would eventually become known to the galaxy. However, for his few appearances during the war, Malek was responsible for several attacks on several Republic ships, attacks on Mandalore, the deaths of several corruptible senators who spoke out against the war, and Mandalorians who spoke out against the Death Watch, and although he had initial hate for the Death Watch, Malek always felt that they were disgracing the old Mandalorian ways and culture. During this tenure, his most common kills were centrally based on Republic clone troops stationed in several military bases across the galaxy, commanders, and captains, which often granted him access to secret base locations that would essentially aid the Separatists. Malek remained in the service of the Separatists, until Death Watch fell out of league with the them. During his bounty hunting services with Nute Gunray, Malek was able to walk out with a cash load of credits, which often ranked from one million credits and four million credits (to which he often stole), even after getting paid, and with it he bought hundreds of weapon and armor upgrades for the Kriya clan, Lazen Clan, himself, the Mandalorian Guild, and also the Death Watch.
Joining the Republic, and helping the Jedi (21 BBY)
"As long as I'm paid, you will get what you want. Other than that, I want nothing to do with you Jedi or Galactic Senators. I am still surprised you contact me after all that I have done to your pathetic senators."
Malek shows his abilties with the lightsaber in his duel with Anakin.
After "leaving" the Separatists, Malek was summoned by the Galactic Republic, who needed his help. Accepting the offer to come to Coruscant, Malek left Concordia and traveled to the Republic's capital. Once he landed, several clone troopers were waiting for him, but for safety, they removed his guns and proceeded to take him to the Galactic Senate building, where he would meet the Jedi for the first time. Asked to speak, Malek stood up before the entire Senate and spoke that his recent actions were not crimes, but his job as a bounty hunter and assassin. Angered, Anakin shouted at the Mandalorian, but Malek replied if he threatened him, he could forget all the information he had on several Separatists, which could help them in the war by a fraction, to which would be enough. Calmed down by Obi-Wan, Anakin took his seat, while Ahsoka told him not to worry, and then Anakin listened to Malek. Taking a chip, Malek injected it into a slot, and what he had said earlier was true. Several pieces of information on the Separatists bases was revealed. Offering is services to the Republic, Malek also revealed that he was also one of the many training the clones on Kamino, while he worked for the Separatists, for he also got paid by the Kaminoans.
Shocking skills
"Just because you know the Force, doesn't mean that you will win Skywalker.Just like you, I know how to wield a blade. Serving my purpose as a Mandalorian, I learned how to use it by my adopted parents Jedi. So watch it with your overconfidence, it can cost you. Also just because you are the Chosen One it means nothing to me, for you are still a normal person nevertheless, a Jedi for that matter. But you are a Jedi who confides too much in your own abilities, and when you do that, the Jedi stain themselves with selfish acts. They also end up going against what they believe. That will end up causing the demise of the Republic."
-Malek to Anakin Skywalker after defeating the latter in a lightsaber sparring match
After his conference with the Senate, Malek went to the Jedi Temple to recover his weapons, as his lightsabers, which was a shock to several Jedi within the Temple. Challenged to a duel by Skywalker as soon as he entered the room. Malek was however skeptical, and said he had no time to battle a Jedi, for he had more important things to do. As Malek walked away, with his weapons on stock, Anakin shouted at him calling him a coward, and that he was scared of a Jedi. Laughing at Anakin's outrageous statements, Malek accepted Anakin's challenge, and both headed to the training room to duel, while the Jedi Council watched, along with Ahsoka Tano. Disbanding his lightsabers and weapons, Malek said he would fight Anakin with his bare hands, while Anakin could use the blade if he wanted to. Anakin agreed to it and went to fight Malek. Not impressed, Malek easily took Anakin down, as Anakin charged and threw vicious attacks, Malek rarely moved and made quick work of his attacks through simple defenses and doges, mostly showing of his agility and skills in martial arts. Wanting to end the duel quickly, Malek swiped Anakin down and took up the Jedi's blade, and pointed it at Anakin's face. Taking victory for himself, which eventually shocked the Jedi. Telling Anakin what the true meaning of each side of the galaxy was, as what everything meant to him, Malek put his blades away, and left the temple in his jetpack, and said he would await his mission. However, Malek held secrets against the Republic, which was his alliance with the Separatists at the same time. With this, Malek was able to cause the two sides to suffer heavy losses in numerous battles for almost a year.
Black Arms dealer manhunt
"The Underworld of Coruscant. A great place to hide, bad place to commit a crime, but a suitable area for a bounty hunter like me."
-Malek when searching through the Underworld
Malek speaks to a local Ithorian store owner on where Jak Ty lives.
Three days later, Malek was contacted by the Galactic Senate, requesting his bounty hunting skills, in removing a black arms dealer named Jak Ty. Heading to the Senate Building, he was greeted by several senators. Allowed to enter with his weapons, Malek made his way towards the Senate room, where Supreme ChancellorPalpatine would hand him his mission in going to the Coruscant Underworld. After arriving at the Underworld, several other criminals noticed Malek and went to attack him, but he would simply stop them by using a smoke bomb. A few minutes later, Malek stopped by a local store, which seemingly sold Republic weapons. Taking out his Warlord pistols, Malek pointed them at the Ithorian owner and demanded he tell him where Jak was, or he would also die. Not wanting to get invovled, the store owner told him that he lived in the areas of 1313 in a small aprtment on the fith floor. He also said to be careful,

because it was sawrming with criminal, but Malek implied that he knew what to di if anyone messed with him. Taking the Ithorian's information, Malek would find the aprtment, and after asking the owner of the build if Jak lived there, he would be answered yes. Making his way up, Malek saw that it was a very gloomy place to live, making it a great home for an arms dealer. Blasting the door open, Malek saw there was no one home, but that it was the home of the target, for there were several weapons on his desk, and a sign that said "Jak Ty, the best arms dealer alive. Come and get your weapons, for half the original price."
As he prepared to leave, Jak came up the stairs after being told that someone was looking for. Once he saw Malek, he pulled out a blaster and began shooting at him, who would quickly dodge all the shots. Seeing at how pathetic he was, Malek used one shot to

shoot of the blaster from Jak's hand, who would instantly run away, and get on a speeder, which was just parked outside. Believing he escaped, Jak lowered his speed, and preached that no one could ever stop him. However, Malek had flown ahead of him on his jetpack and awaited for his arrival by the same local store he mad been to earlier. As Jak walked towards the Ithorian, Malek hid behind the counter, waiting for the right time to strike.As the two spoke, Malek prepared only one of his pistols, and without any warning, he revealed himself and took aim at Jak and quickly shot him in the heart, killing him. The Ithorian begged not to be killed, but Malek stated that he wasn't the target, so he didn't have to worry. The Mandalorian then left the Coruscant Underworld and returned to the Galactic Senate to receive his payment. Palpatine would generously pay him 500,000 credits, which Malek gladly accepted, and told him if he needed him again, he wouldn't need to ask, for the only thing he had to do was say the mission and would accept it.
Mission to Ryloth
"You got what you wanted, now where's my money Jedi?"
"Not to worry my friend, Master Skywalker, please present our friend with his money."
"You should at least say thank you Malek"
"That won't be necessary Padawan Tano, for it is you and your troops who should give me thanks."
"NO! (blade ignites) Hiyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
"(kick lands, and Ahsoka falls) Heh. Pathetic!"
-Malek demands his payment to the Jedi
A few weeks later, Malek was contacted by Master Mace Windu, who requested his help on the Planet of Ryloth. Taking the mission, Malek returned to the Jedi Temple to receive his orders. Asking to help out a group of trapped Clone troopers, Malek departed of to Ryloth instantly to complete his mission. Using his ship as a distraction and bomb, Malek set it on autopilot and set it to crash towards several tanks, which turned out to be successful. Using his jetpack, Malek landed in the area of the trapped clones, where he helped them escape the area, as also several injured troops. Shooting down several droids, Malek led the troopers to safety, and rescued several other Twi'Leks as well. Successfully completing his mission, Malek returned to the Temple here he received his payment. Much to their surprise, Malek handed them a storage device holding several information on the Separatists, and told them he was taking a temporal leave. Malek would later return to Concordia to continue his Death Watch infiltration.
Leaving the Republic & the Mandalore Campaign
Rejoining the Separatists
"If you had done your job right Vizsla, we could have taken Mandalore, but your pathetic way of ruling this splinter group has lost us the planet."
"Now listen here Zenolian trash, if you think---aaaaagh (Malek grabs Vizsla by the neck)
"If I were you, I would be careful with what is said. You know how I am. I won't hesitate to kill any Death Watch soldier here, including you, and you know it. So think twice before offending my race."
-Malek warns Vizsla of what he's capable of
Obi-Wan reveals a recording of Malek, who previously attacked a Republic cruiser in 21 BBY.
After leaving the Republic, Pre Vizsla, under orders from the Separatists ordered Malek to attack a Republic cruiser, to which he would oblige. Donning the original Mandalorian armor for just this mission, Malek attacked the cruiser, to which he would succeed and escape. Killing several troopers, Malek saw how weak the Republic Army was, and that it was a good idea he left them, although he was paid several times (however most of the missions are unknown). During the mission, Malek also stole several weapons and credits for himself, to continue his modifications on his attire. With word given out to the Galactic Senate, Jedi MasterObi-Wan Kenobi, who was sent by the Jedi High Council went to investigate what were supposed rumors of treason. When Kenobi arrived, Malek was watching from a distance, however disguised as a regular Mandalorian citizen. Signaling an unknown man, Malek left the area and awaited for the man to complete his job. A few minutes later Kenobi was walking along with DuchessSatine near the memorial shrine, until a few seconds later an explosion occurred near the area. The blast caused a small amount of damage, but with several people injured. When the smoke cleared a holographic display of Death Watch's symbol was left behind, leaving Satine shocked. From a distance, now with his armor, Malek smiled and took flight as he departed of to Concordia.
Welcoming the enemy
Malek disguised as a Mandalorian police officer on Concordia, welcomes Obi-Wan Kenobi and Satine Kryze.
When Obi-Wan Kenobi and Satine Kyrze arrived in a Mandalorian shuttle, Malek was disguised as a Mandalorian police officer, who served alongside another member, who alongside Govenor Vizsla welcomed the the Jedi and Duchess. Shortly after welcoming the two, Vizsla handed Malek a datapad, to which he would take. Leaving, Malek returned to the Death Watch hideout. Removing the police attire, and placing his Death Watch armor back on, Malek would hear a Balutar-class swoop speeding in the distance, and it was getting louder. Using the HUD on his helmet, Malek scanned the incoming speeder and figure, which revealed itself to be Obi-Wan Kenobi. Deciding not to take any action, Malek looked at two fellowMandalorians and decided that it was best for them to take care of the Jedi, for he had no intention of dealing with Kenobi again. Leaving the base to the two Death Watch soldiers, Malek took of in his jetpack and prepared himself for a confrontation that would occurr later on that day. While flying back to Vizsla, Malek recieved a message from one of the Mandalorians, telling him that they successfully captured Kenobi, and that they were gonna need help if anything else happened. Taking the message, Malek flew back to the base, only to arrive shortly after the two Mandalorians lost in a fight and were knocked out by Kenobi.
After a small fight between Kenobi and the Death Watch, Malek reappeared, but his alliance with them was unknown to Kenobi, as

had no idea that he was on the planet. Confronting the two, Malek handed Vizsla his blaster to which he would use to kill one of his own after failing to defeat the unarmed Jedi. Revealing himself to Kenobi and Satine, Vizsla ignored the fact of Satine's words on why he would betray Mandalore, to which he simply replied that she had tarnished the very name Mandalorian with her peace-seeking government. Returning Kenobi's lightsaber, Vizsla unleashed his Darksaber, which was black-bladed lightsaber that his ancestors had stolen from the Jedi Temple long ago, during the fall of the Old Republic, and then went to duel the Jedi Master. Vizsla unleashed strong attacks on Kenobi, as Kenobi went for defenses, and attacks as well as both of them kept dodging each blow, as one had the desire to kill. From lightsaber dueling, to a short unarmed combat fight, Kenobi would come out victorious after intercepting him in mid-air. Deciding not to chase him, Vizsla ordered Malek and two mother soldiers to launch missiles at the two escaping, which was done, but knowing they survived, Vizsla decided it was best to leave the planet and await another chance to kill Satine, as well, Kenobi.
March for Battle & Assassination Plots
"Haar'chakSatine, gar' 'hut'uun!" (Damn it Satine, you coward)
-Malek to a fleeing Satine after failing to assassinate her
Malek's first assassination attempt on Satine fails, and instead, kills her driver Aramis.
Following a series of several unsuccessful plots to kill Satine, Malek became a part of Vizlsa's mobilized Death Watch army. Unlike the others, under orders from both Dooku & Pre Vizsla, Malek was sent to kill Satine, which required in three assassination attempts on the Duchess. Malek first decided to plant a bomb in her ComfortRide passenger airspeeder in which was detonated it, to which damaged the engines and navigation computer. With the speeder now out of control, in a last minute attempt to save the Duchess, Aramis ordered Satine and her guards to jump, and doing so, they landed safely, but Aramis met with his end, when he crashed into a building. Angered by this, Malek decided to kill Satine using another method, as he was told by Vizsla again. Taking his sniper rifle, Malek first shot Davu Golec of Republic Ministry of Intelligence, who was secretly meeting with Satine in the lower levels of Coruscant. During the meeting Davu handed Satine an original recording of the message Deputy MinisterJerec, after the Senate had seen an altered version earlier that same day. Fllowing Davu's death, Satine fleed in horror at

the site of her dead friend, while Malek went in pursuit of her, to which he would unfortunately lose in the Coruscant crowd. Yet again, after locating her, Malek tried to kill her with a thermal detonator, but was thwarted by Obi-Wan Kenobi, although the blast separated the two. After landing from the building he had thrown the grenade from. Malek tried to finish her of with his blaster, but, yet again he was stopped by Kenobi, where the two engaged in a small fight. In the end, Malek was bested by the Jedi Master, and although he was thrown of a height by the Force, to which could've killed him, Malek ignited his jetpack and took flight, leaving whatever business that was bound to take place. Following this altercation, the Death Watch would later on break ties with the Separatists. According to Mandalorian records, it was stated that Malek himself had no hate towards Satine, but hated her ruling government was weak, and a disgrace to how Mandalorians should be. However, thousands of years later, in 3,525 ABY, it was discovered that Malek had a strong hate towards Satine and that although he helped the Death Watch in attacking Sundari, Malek would have killed the entire Death Watch faction otherwise, and removed Satine from power, either by force, or by his own needs, but wouldn't have killed her.
Marriage to Xasha Lazen
"Mhi solus tome, mhi solus dar'tome, mhi me'dinui an, mhi ba'juri verde."(We are one when together. we are one when parted. We will share all. We will raise warriors)
-Malek and Xasha during their marriage
After leaving the the Separatists, Malek left the Death Watch once more to meet with Xasha Lazen on Concord Dawn. Upon meeting her, Malek met with the surprise that she had recently given birth to a baby boy. Malek had arrived just a day after her child's birth, and was shocked to see that she became pregnant upon their interaction on Mandalore a year earlier. Heading to the infirmary, Malek and Xasha were glad to see each other, after three months of being seperate. Malek then asked Xasha if she would marry him. Tearing happily, Xasha agreed and hugged Malek and told him that she had been waiting for that questionfor a while now. Asking first her hand, Xasha agreed with tears in her eyes, and the two would share a kiss. Taking his son up, Malek said "As of now my son, your name is Boba Kriya. You carry the name of my first father, and the last name of my new family, and I hope you will honor it. Mirta then told that she would prepare the wedding for the two. After two weeks of preparing, Malek and Xasha were happily married, and much to Xasha's surprise, Mirta told her she accepted her now as one of her family, for she felt bad on their recent quarrels. Hugging his sister and wife, Malek said that the bond and friendship between their clans was now stronger since they became united. Kissing Xasha once more, Malek said that this was the happiest moment of his life, and Xasha alike. Knowing that his mission forced him to be somewhere else, and her alike. A fellow kin member named Mirta Kriya said she would take care of their son while they were away, but Xasha had to stay for a year, until Boba would be of age. Already prepared, Malek left Concord Dawn a week later to continue his duties. Xasha was often helped by Mirta in taking care of her son Boba. Because of how she was, Xasha and Malek decided to name their daughter after her, and the female Mandalorian gave her life to save Boba from a Death Watch soldier who had gone rouge.
Member of the Nite Owls
"The name is Malek Kriya. What's yours?"
"I am Bo-Katan. Nice to meet you Malek. Welcome to the Nite Owls."
"Thank you Bo-Katan it will be an honor to serve you."
-Bo-Katan and Malek meet each other for the first time
Bo-Katan Kryze meets Malek for the first time.
After the breaking ties with the Separatists and marriage to Xasha, Malek went of to meet the Nite Owls, a squad of elite soldiers within the Death Watch. It was given to him under orders of Pre Vizsla. Uopn meeting them, he was greeted by a female Mandalorian of the Nite Owls who would take him to see their leader, but was first greeted by other Nite Owl members. He then met Bo-Katan who welcomed him to their squad. Many of the soldiers within the faction held Malek in high regard because of his exceptional skills in fighting and with shooting. Becoming a now full-pledged member of the Nite Owls, Malek would become third-in-command under Bo. For the next two and a half months, Malek worked alongside Bo-katan, and in secret, his wife Xasha, whom he was unaware was also a member of the Nite Owls, thus the female Mandalorian who had welcomed him to the base and squad. Aside from this, Malek also partook in several missions with the Mandalorian Guild, of which, many involved attacking the Death Watch, or other rivaling Mandalorian factions and groups. Because time was already moving at it's own pace, during this particular moment, the Death Watch was still affliated with the Separatists, which kept Malek in doing any more work with the Owls. Malek would then spent a month away from the Nite Owls, because he took many bounty hunting missions for the Separatists, but after Pre Vizsla Death met with Dooku in person. the Death Watch leader broke ties with Dooku and the Separatists and vowed to kill the Count, and ended Malek's works for the Separatist. On the run, the Death Watch found refuge on the planet Carlac, holding the local Ming Po hostage while pillaging their villages for women and supplies.
Ties broken and rejoining the Nite Owls
"Malek, nice to see you again,welcome back to the Nite Owls."
"Thank you Bo-Katan, it will be nice to serve alongside you once more."
-Bo-Katan welcomes Malek back into the Nite Owls
Bo-Katan welcomes Malek to the Nite Owls on Carlac once more.
After the failed attempt in taking Mandalore, Malek along with several Death Watch soldiers, including Vizsla broke ties with Dooku and the Separatists, and despite the fact Vizsla vowed to kill the Count, Malek took little importance on the subject, and instead continued to carry on his duties. Unknown to Vizsla, Malek had joined the Nite Owls a year earlier, to which he would rejoin after the Death Watch took refuge on the planet of Carlac, however, Malek already had other plans. One day, in the dark of the night, Malek switched his Nite Owl armor to his orginal bounty hunter armor and left the camp. Prior to leaving, Malek contatced Xasha and told her of his current mision and whereabouts, saying that he wouldn't be able to return until his duties were done. Showing him their son over the holo-transmission, Malek told him he would soon be home.
Weeks before the Death Watch had formed an alliance with Lux Bonteri, son of the late Mina Bonteri, Malek returned to the Mandalorian Guild. Several times, Malek would take secret information from Death Watch, as he would even hunt down several of it's members, which he would get a

price for from other Mandalorian warriors, whose names are unknown. When Malek returned to the Mandalorian Guild, he would remain with the Mandalorian faction until after Lux Bonteri and Ahsoka Tano escaped the Death Watch. Malek himself was a key in devsing the planned attack, to which he knew that one day the Death Watch would be fully destroyed. New information later showed that Malek formed a truce and peace agreement with Ahsoka Tano, promising her that he would help her if she should need it.
Skirmish on Carlac
"Malek, Jate, you are both with me!"
"Yes Sir."
"Yes Sir"
-Malek, Jate, and Red before attacking the Death Watch
The Mandalorian Guild plan their attack on the Death Watch within the Captive Village
Once Malek had returned to the Mandalorian Guild, he would help them out in a mission which involved attacking the Death Watch. Knowing this was his chance in finishing of Pre Vizsla, Malek helped the guild in coordinating the attack. Under the command of General Redspark Holocron, Malek joined Red, along with Jate Ordo in the first mission. Armed with his primary sniper rifle and Darksaber, Malek, Red and Jate, the three Mandalorian warriors charged on the village and began their mission. Cursing the Death Watch in Mando'a, Malek prepared himself and vowed he would protect his vode, no matter the cost. Surprisingly, the Death Watch were unaware of the attack.
Captive Village
"They provide no challenge. The Death Watch are weak."
-Malek during the attack on the Death Watch
Malek, Red, and Jate prepare to shoot at incoming Death Watch soldiers.
As soon as the mission went underway, Malek, Jate and Red charged on the Death Watch, shooting down anyone who got in their way. Using hatred to allign his targets, Malek showed little difficulty in killing the Death Watch Elite soldiers with a single shot back-to-back without wasting a breath. As the three Mandalorians massacred several members, they would see that the Death Watch was waiting for them, and were putting up enough resistance to say they weren't gonna give up the village for it was there's and that they wouldn't even give up to the Republic. Upon reaching the center of the village, the three met one of the three Death Watch lieutenants, who was named Kherr Dawar. A strong female, Kherr would fight the three warriors in a three-on-one handicap duel. Throughout the fight, Malek taunted the female lieutenant, causing her to get mad. Relying on several martial arts tactics, and also his rifle, with Red and Jate, the three managed to defeat and kill Kherr with three shots to the chest. After this, Republic LAAT'S came in to help by putting out fires, allowing them to gain further access of the Ming Po village. As they advanced the three Mandalorian Guild warriors knew they were getting closer to Pre Vizsla's location, as seen on their helmets HUD. After fending of against

Kro Lann and Mord Jayran, they went to confront Vizsla. Vizsla was however unknown that he was being attacked by Malek, who days leader, which was also unknown to the Death Watch leader. Revealing his own Darksaber, Pre was shocked upon seeing that there were two darksaber blades, and not one as he had believed. Using brute force, and Malek alike, he clashed his darksaber with Vizsla while speaking to him in Mando'a, as even Concordian. This confused Pre Vizsla, but he did not care. Almost injuring Red and Jate with the blade, Malek drew his attention long enough for Red to take the final blow in knocking out Vizsla with his EE-3 Carbine Rifle by a blow to the head. However, Vizsla was picked up by Bo-Katan who fled with the Death Watch leader. Disappointed, Malek knew that only one good thing came out, which was that the main village had been saved along with the remaining Ming Po. After this, Malek would continue to help out the guild in numerous attacks on the Death Watch. After three weeks, Malek returned to his mission in infiltrating the Death Watch and killing Vizsla. Departing, Malek took of to meet up with the Death Watch in a given location.
Taking back Mandalore
"These Sith say they can help us take Mandalore. I see it as an opportunity to complete the task I set out for so long."
"What is that sir?"
"To kill Pre Vizsla. And know that you now you must die"
"WHAT? No, please don't----"(blasts fired)
"Since I told you, you had to die, and I'm not sorry."
"What was that?"
"Do not worry soldier, this man was a traitor."
"Ok sir. Shall I report this to Vizsla?"
"(laughs) No. (blasts fired)"
"Oops! Itchy trigger finger"
-Malek kills two Death Watch soldiers
A broken alliance
"Wow, who knew, Sith Lords, interesting. I wonder what it is that they plan."
"We will have to wait, see and hear. But I don't trust them, not one bit, and soon they will die."
"I don't either, but no matter how much I hate Vizsla, I agree with him on betraying them and killing them, but we are gonna have to be careful with these two Sith. They are stronger than they look.One thing that Vizsla does is that he underestimates others. I don't. That is why I am careful around these Zabraks. I have killed dark-side users before, but these two, I'm not so sure."
"So you think it would be hard to kill them?
"Yes, the Force is their advantage, while we have nothing, which is what they believe. For our advantage is something we each know, but are not all the same. Like some, I can resist many types of Force attacks, or as one can say, Jedi Mind tricks.
"Well that can benefit us."
"Yes it can, but right now let's focus on our mission, and on how we will kill them."
-Malek and Bo-Katan discuss about the fate of Maul and Savage
Pre Vizsla and Darth Maul form an alliance in order to takeover Mandalore, and to also get revenge on Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Some time after the Carlac mission, Malek joined Vizsla on an expedition in space. While roaming they came across a ship, to which held both Maul and Savage in it's cockpit. Both siblings had already claimed themselves as Dark Lords of the Sith, but were critically wounded following their defeat against Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi. Taking the two Sith brothers with them, the Death Watch brought them to their base on the swampmoon of Zanbar. Due to Malek's skills in contructing items, he provided Maul with new cybernetic legs, replacing the ones made by Mother Talzin and a artificial substitute for Savage's severed arm. Since both Maul and Vizsla had a common enemy, the two formed an unstable alliance, focused on taking down Obi-Wan. Malek had no intention of getting involved with the Jedi, although he found that this would be the perfect chance to kill Vizsla. Revealing his intentions to another Death Watch member, to avoid problems, Malek shot the Mandaorian in the head and took his body and threw it into a swamp.
Mustafar Mission
Shortly after the formation of the alliance between Maul and Vizsla, the Death Watch leader was already bent and ready on attacking Mandalore, as he also had men standing by him and waiting on the planet. However, Maul stated that they weren't ready, and to do a successful attack, he suggested in enlisting the Black Sun, who were located on the planet of Mustafar. Malek would join Vizsla, in addition with other Death Watch members in traveling the the planet. Upon arrival, they met with the leaders of the Black Sun, in which they were escorted by Ziton Moj to meet with them. After a small audience with the Black Sun leaders, both Maul and Vizsla were mocked, only to later on be killed at the hands of Savage Opress by throwing is lightsaber, decapitating them all. After this, Ziton decided to join Maul's alliance. Due to the Black Sun joining the Death Watch as well, the splinter group had now gained the supplies that they needed for their cause. Later returning to Zanbar, Maul and Vizsla both argued on their visions of taking control of all Mandalore, but of course their was only one vision of success, to which Maul preferred his, and the only choice Vizsla did was quietly subject to Maul's orders, but began to plot matters into his own hands. Shortly after their discussion, the Pyke Syndicate under the leadership of Lom Pyke said he was wiling to join them, since he had no desire to oppose Maul.
Mission on Nal Hutta
Once the Pyke's joined Maul's newly formed Shadow Collective, the next step in the plan was to head to Nal Hutta, where they now seeked to enist the Hutt Grand Council to their cause. Things wouldn't go as planned as negotiations would be a complete failure, bounty hunters appeared from their hiding spots and began pursuing iring at the brothers and Vizsla, while Malek, Bo-Katan and her Nite Owls were awaiting the return of the two. In return Malek began firing at the bounty hunters holding them back, killing several Hutt guards easily without even moving, as only to later engage them in unarmed combat, where he easily beat Sugi as Savage took care of Embo, and killed the remaining Hutt guards by shooting or by breaking their neck.Dengar and Latts Razzi were also easily beaten by Malek, but since he was on a strict schedule, he decided to let them live. The bounty hunters were then able to flee safely, although Oruba was captured in the aftermath. Wirth his last words, the Hutt told the Death Watch warriors and the Sith Lord brothers on where Jabba had taken refuge. Sayingthat Jabba had fled to Tatooine, under orders from Maul, Opress killed Oruba, while Malek took care of destroying the palace completely.
Final Mission, Tatooine
Malek fights a Gammorrean Hutt guard during the mini Death Watch attack on Jabba the Hutt's palace.
After learning that the Hutts had fled to Jabba's Palace the Zabrak brothers and the Death Watch launched a mini attack, where they were giving Jabba one last chance to join them, or he will die. Now at the hands of the Shadow Collective, jabba and the Hutts were amazed at how they performed in action, and in doing so, the Hutts agreed to join them. Not amazed at all, Malek left the palace only to catch up to both Vizsla and Bo, who were planning on taking over Mandalore after they finished of both Savage and Maul. Malek simply smiled at Vizsla words, and even agreed with him, but as soon as Vizsla and Bo-Katan left the area to prepare the ships, Malek smiled, and said in Mando'a, "Vizsla, Ib'tuur jatne tuur ash'ad kyr'amur".
The Mandalore Takeover
"Mandalore is now ours. After years of waiting we have proclaimed our home and returned the true Mandalorian faith. And now with Satine's rule at an end, I am now proclaim myself as Mand'alor."

leadership upon the Death Watch, which now left both Bo-Katan and Pre Vizsla plotting the deaths of both Maul and Savage, as also Malek agreed to participate in taking their lives. While the "army" attacked various targets across the capital city of Sundari, causing havoc and terror. Under orders, Vizsla and Death Watch were sent to "capture" the Sith brothers and to bring them to justice, as even acting as saviors. Through an act of manipulation and lies, Vizsla quickly gained the people' support by demonstrating that Duchess couldn't protect them anymore. Later, Kryze was arrested by both Malek and Bo-Katan, while Vizsla took the chance to have the two Sith brothers arrested and had them sent to Sundari prison. Naturally, Vizsla stated he had no intention of spreading their success to the other 2,000 neutral systems. Showing his honor, Vizsla said that he would still finish of what they agreed with eariler, which was to remove Kenobi, and that Maul would have no choice and to the submit to the Death Watch's leader's rule.
Death of Vizsla
"I would have preferred shooting Vizsla, but not killing him in that extent."
"Change of heart, eh, Malek?"
"No, but I have a formal way of killing my enemies"
"Then what about me?"
"Let's not focus on that Bo-Katan. Right now we have to set our eyes on what will happen to Mandalore if we don't fight."
-Xasha Lazen reveals herself to Bo-Katan, after Malek reveals on how his intentions deffer from that of others
Malek, on the far left side, alongside Xasha Lazen, stare, stunned, at Vizsla's decapitated body at the hands of Maul.
After the two brothers were imprisoned, Vizsla took the title of Mand'alor, claiming it was rightfully his. However, all were unaware on how easy both Maul and Savage were able to escape, with an extra hand, who was none other than Almec, the former Prime Minister of Mandalore. After they escaped and reached the palace, they entered the throne room, where Maul instantly challenged Vizsla to a duel, and Vizsla would accept. Similar to his duel with Obi-Wan Kenobi, Vizsla used his jetpack, blaster pistols, grenades and his Darksaber to gain an advantage over the Sith Lord. However, although he was able to hold out against Maul, it would not be enough to defeat the Sith Lord, and Maul would prove victorious. On his knees, and at the mercy of Maul, Vizsla said his finals words, which were "Like you said, only the strongest shall rule" and accepted his death.
Infiltration and Prelude to Mandalore's fall
Malek disguises himself a Mandalorian super commando in order to infiltrate Darth Maul's Shadow Collective.
Prior to the battle, Malek had previously disguised himself as a Mandalorian super commando in order to help his new allies. Following Vizsla's death, Malek knew that he had no choice but to join Bo, since the Death Watch faction was particularly still alive. Shortly after some members of the Death Watch sided with Maul, in the dark of night, Malek sneaked behind one Mandalorian super commando and killed him by breaking his neck. Taking the armor, and disguising the dead one in his armor, Malek brought the body to Maul and told him that this Mandalorian was trying to sneak in the castle to kill the Sith Lord, but he was able to finish him of. Maul would believe the story and gave him the rank of commander, which allowed him to be second in charge in the super commandos. However, when Korkie Kryze tried to rescue his aunt DuchessSatine Krye, Bo-Katan aided in the escape, to which was revealed that she was Satine's sister. As they escaped, Malek noticed several Mandalorian commandos, who contacted one another, and would quickly contact Bo (secretly), who prepared her Nite Owls to fight. However the rescue failed, causing Malek returned to Bo-Katan where he regained his armor back, and would later take the fight to the traitorous Mandalorians. Some time later, Obi-Wan was captured by the Mandalorian super commandos, after he

himself also failed to rescue Satine Kryze. During Obi-Wan's capture, Satine was brutally killed by Maul, who used the Darksaber in order to torture and get back at Obi-Wan, since he had no desire to kill him. Knowing that they had to rescue the Jedi Master, Malek went of with Bo-Katan of to the Sundari prison. During this situation, Xasha revealed herself to the Nite Owls and remaining Death Watch member.
Battle of Sundari
"We played our part Xasha. Now is the time for us to go."
"But, what of the Death Watch."
"They are no longer a threat, nor do I care what lays of them."
"When do you think Bo-Katan will die."
"I leave her fate in your hands Xasha. She believes we are her friends."
"As you wish my dear"
-Malek and Xasha during the Battle of Sundari
Obi-Wan Kenobi's truce with Bo-Katan ended the hate both Malek and Xasha had for her, after seeing that she fought for what she thought was right.
Arriving at the prison, Malek nd Bo-Katan saw Obi-Wan being escorted by the super commandos. Devising a quick plan, the Nite owls, and few remaining Death Watch soldiers ambushed the commandos, with Malek killing of three of them, one by shooting him in the face, and another by causing his jetpack to go out of control and crash into a nearby ship. Bo then handed Obi-Wan an extra jetpack, in order for them to leave the prison and fight of against Maul's Shadow Collective. Flying through the buildings and skies of Sundari, they battled against several commandos, each shooting and killing one another at a fast pace, suffering heavy casualties, which was the same for the city below. After finally engaging them in the hangar, which lead towards the Sundari docks, a giant door opened to reveal Sundari in ruins. Joining Bo-Katan in helping Obi-Wan being escorted of the planet, Malek knew now that the Death Watch was very similar to any other Mandalorian group, except the fact that they were all different in views, but it would still not change or relieve his hate for the Death Watch, including Bo-Katan, whom he would ironically end up becoming friends with, although Malek later revealed that becoming friends with Bo was all part of his plan to destroy the Death Watch, thus Bo-Katan was easy to manipulate, and the fact he found it interesting on how she believed they were friends. Malek and Xasha later left Sundari, leaving Bo-Katan to fend for herself with her Nite Owls.
Leaving the Death Watch and return to the Kriya Clan & Mandalorian Guild
"It's time for us to go home my kin. We have done all that we can here."
"You got it sir. Men let's go. Women you to, pack up.
"Where are we going father?"
"I'll leave you two alone."
"You can decide that Shae. You remind me so much of your mother, although my relationship with her was short lived."
"But you worked together for more than ten years."
"Yes, but we didn't know what would happen later. I knew her more as a partner than my girlfriend. She thought the same until we split ways."
-Malek, Vhonte, and Shae
The Mandalorian supercommando captain attacking Malek.
After the near destruction of Sundari, Malek Xasha decided to leave the planet of Mandalore. Malek traveled to the Mandalore sector, where he would meet up with three fellow Mandalorian Guild warriors. Upon returning to the headquarters of the Mandalorian Guild, he was welcomed back by his fellow Mandalorians, as seeing that he had completed the mission he started several years ago. However, Malek still vowed to destroy the final remaining members of the Death Watch, and whenever new ones would join it. Stationing his home, Malek decided to go back into being a bounty hunter. Right after his return, Malek was flying around the base, where he would find a Mandalorian super commando, who had survived the Battle of Sundari, and was seemingly looking for someone to kill, therefore, the target was Malek himself. When he got closer, Malek could see that it was the captain of the commandos. Malek's presence would not go unnoticed, for he would be shot down by the Mandalorian captain, who would injure him on his arm. Left only to defend himself, Malek took up one of his lightsabers in defense, whilst the captain took out a blaster. Deflecting several blasts, Malek was able to charge onto the commando and destroy his blaster. Flipping behind him, Malek snapped the neck of the Mandalorian and would take his armor for his own, which he would demonstrate to the guild. Malek was then allowed to wear the armor for his own, and with it Malek would wear the armor throughout the final year of the Clone Wars, and throughout the early years of the Galactic Empire.
Fighting for the Guild
"The Mando Ver'verd'tsad is my home. I am a part of it, and I stay strong to our Mandalorian beliefs'. I have said this before and I will say it again. I am a Mandalorian! Vode An!"
Malek dons the armor of the Mandalorian super commando after the latter killed him during their confrontation.
Shortly after his return to the guild, Malek took part in several missions throughout the galaxy. A few weeks after the Battle of Sundari, Malek restarted his careers as an assassin, in which he would often get the most difficult of targets, to which many were corrupt senators, traitors, and other assassins alike. Nevertheless, Malek would complete the missions without wasting a single breath, to which he would often recieve high payments for. While away, Malek contacted Xasha several times, promising her tht one day he would come and visit her, for at the time being he wasn't able to because of his numerous back-to-back tasks. As months past, Malek's identity started to become more known to the galaxy, and was put on the galaxies most wanted list. A fully feared Mandalorian, Malek had now become what his father had always wanted for him, which was a True Mandalorian. Aside from this, Malek fought several battles against other Mandalorian groups who had hate for the guild. This was seen several times on Ryloth, Felucia and on Umbara. During this time, Malek would also learn a lot of battle styles, and shooting techniques from his Vode in the guild, since he was amongst the youngest ones. Through more battle and assassinations, with the guidance of his vode and the guild, Malek would evolve into the one of most fearsome Zenolian ever. Malek himself stated that he was glad for all his vode in helping him, as they advanced his abilities in shooting, fighting in unarmed combat, and started to gain a much more brutal tactic whenever he fought against enemies of the guild. Malek was most noted in the guild for his fast learning, quick talents, master manipulator, cunning, as even a great strategist.
Mission to Maridun
"I will pay you five million credits if you get rid of this senator for me, please."
"Make it an even six million and you got yourself a bounty hunter."
"Deal. Thank you sir."
-Malek is contracted by a Twi'Lek counselor to kill a corrupt Republic Senator
Malek prepares to assassinate the Senator and his Separatist ally.
Once Malek became the galaxy's most wanted Mandalorian mercenary, he decided to to take a break from the action, as such he earned a well deserved rest. Malek however was not afraid that he would be caught, in which he thought it would be a good idea to let the Republic think he was long gone. While Malek rested with his wife in the headquarters of the Mandalorian Guild, tending to the vehicles and weapons alike, as even upgrading them, and he was even taking care of his son often giving Xasha some time to herself in resting or in partaking several missions. Malek later received a message from an unknown assailant who was requesting his help. Malek would answer the message and meet his contractor on the planet of Maridun.
Once he landed and picked out his personal sniper rifle, Malek met up with a Twi'Lek counselor of the Galactic Republic. Because of this mission, Malek now knew that he wouldn't be able to keep himself from doing his bounty hunting job, which was what kept a notable figure within the Mandalorian Guild, Kriya Clan, and previously, the Death Watch. Uusing a holo-map, from within his helmet, Malek discovered the location of the corruptive Republic senator, who was visiting a Separatist informant on the planet. Climbing up a small home, Malek armed his sniper rifle and took aim at the senator, and although the senator's ally wasn't part of the deal, Malek decided it was best to kill him as well, so there wouldn't be any witnesses. Shooting twice, Malek killed both the senator and his Separatist ally. Killing both successfully, Malek received his payment, and returned to the Guild Headquarters.
Mission to Felucia
"The things that I have done is done.Care not for that, for what you have to face is right in front of you."
"The actions of our guild matter not right now. We are helping you now and that's all that matters. After this, we each can go back to our business. Understood!
"Yes sir!"
"We clear on everything."
"Yes sir!"
"We may be different spieces, but in the end we are all Vode."
"Vode An!" (Malek)
"Vode An!" (Andrea)
"Vode An! (clone troopers)
-Malek and Andrea with several clone troopers
Shortly after the reformation of the Mandalorian Guild, alongside several members, Malek headed to the planet of
Malek Kriya and Andrea Deveraux before heading to Felucia.
Felucia. After landing on the planet, Malek and several other Mandalorians received an incoming transmission from a clone commando named Boss, who was informing them of the situation. Seeing it as a chance to help the Galactic Republic for a good price, Malek agreed to help them, setting aside the problems he had caused on the Republic's capital of Coruscant, Malek was acquainted of all charges against him by Supreme ChancellorPalpatine via a hologram to the entire Galactic Senate much to the disappointment of NabooSenatorPadmé Amidala, and Jedi KnightAnakin Skywalker. Once this was done, alongside fellow guild member Andrea Deveraux, and several clone troopers, the two Mandalorians marched onto Separatists gained territory of the planet on their speeders, to which they then would receive information from Boss once more telling them the

locations of several droid bases in the area, and that their were several rancors, and eventually, both would take the warning into consideration, due to how dangerous rancors are.
Malek and Andrea would lead their troopers into a battle with several newly upgraded Separatists droids, who had strong armor than most, to which would end up causing the two Mandalorians to lose several of their men, but were still able to destroy the advancing troops. After this, Malek left to meet another fellow Mandalorian named Jaws Ordo, since Andrea had to return the few remaining troops to a medical base.
Before rendezvousing with Jaws, Malek would be attacked by a rancor, which was sent out by the Separatists. Unaware at first, Malek would instantly be attacked by a quick arm swipe sending him flying towards a giant plant. Losing his blaster by the impact, Malek had no chance in reaching it since the rancor crushed it when it started to run towards him. Pulling out his blasters, Malek shot the rancor several times, and got to the point where he shot it's eyes out. Before he could do anything else, two blasts came and hit the rancor in the chest, which would eventually kill it. Jaws had

come to aid Malek who had slightly injured his right leg by the blow, but still decided to fight on. After the two Mandalorians met up with Jedi Knight Ana Zett, who would give each of them a mission. Malek was ordered to pick up several samples of blue mushrooms that would benefit the production of clone troopers in order to help the Republic. After picking up all six samples, Malek brought them to the Republic base, so they could later be brought to Kamino for examination and testing. Knowing he would stay longer than usual, Malek would return to his ship and pick up several weapons, and such were the Shadow Tech rifle, Warlord pistols, and some thermal grenades. After doing so, he got back on his speeder and hurried back to the base, but was unexpectedly attacked by three droids, who fired at him, hitting his speeder, causing it to go out of control, and send him crashing. Luckily he used his jetpack to

escape the damaged speeder before it had crashed. Picking up several incoming droids on his scanners, Malek drew up his blasters and began shooting. Knowing he was still far away from the base, he decided not to contact them, for he didn't want them to lose any troopers. Knowing he was outnumbered, Malek cared not, and continued to blast down several droids that came in his way. However, because he was focusing on the droids only, Malek was unaware that General Grievous was coming behind him on his speeder. While more droids approached Malek's location, he began to notice that there were boxing him in for a reason, and before he could turn around, Grievous grabbed him and slammed him down. Getting up, Malek saw the cyborg general, and instantly challenged him to a duel. Taking out his darksabers, Malek would be surprised upon seeing the Separatist General take out four blades, revealing four arms. Still, Malek went in and charged onto Grievous.
Duel with Grievous
"Hahahaha, you may not be a Jedi, but your lightsabers will be perfect to add to my collection."
I don't think so General. I am full of surprises. If I am able to withstand my own against Jedi and Sith, I can stand against some factory made trash."
-Malek and Grievous during their duel
Malek engages General Grievous for the first time on Felucia.
Spinning his blades around with speed, Grievous also charged onto Malek and engaged him in their first duel on Felucia. Because of the general's newly added features, Malek had a hard time holding out against Grievous, but eventually managed to put a strong defense and quick offense, almost gaining the advantage many times. However, Grievous managed to disarm Malek's left arm by a strong blow, and took the advantage, by applying three blades onto his remaining darksaber and used the last one to slice him on the legs, eventually cutting them of through the use of cho mok'. Believing the Mandalorian to be completely defenseless, Grievous prepared to kill Malek, until a blast shot one lightsaber of one of his right hands. It was another fellow Mandalorian from the Mandalorian Guild. The female warrior kept firing at Grievous who would charge at her, and taking advantage of the situation, Malek unleashed his Kade'vor

Lightning on the General and pinned him to the ground. Once that was done, he unleashed a wave of lightning and threw it all at the droids, destroying them. Barely moving, the female Mandalorian would help Malek to her speeder and brought him to the Republic base, where he would be taken to the infirmary to receive prosthetic legs.
After a few hours, Malek awoke, because he had been left unconscious by the amount of energy he used on the general and his droids. Seeing his new legs, Malek tested them out to see if they worked well, and he would easily gain the hang of it. After this, Malek was sent of to Felucia once more, where he was dropped of by two generals of the Mandalorian Guild. Once he landed, he was given his next mission, which involved taking out a Highsingerdroid, that was responsible for the deaths and disappearances of several clone troopers. Malek would however not require the aid of clone troopers, because he believed that if they lured the assassin droid out by only sending him and some members of the guild he would come out to fight them, because it was only interested in strong opponents. Taking his hunter rifle, Malek left with four members of the guild to track the droid. After searching, General Red found the droid, and contacted everyone to come to his location. Arriving, Malek and his fellow guild members began firing at the assassin droid, who proved to be a far more dangerous opponent than it had been said by surviving clones. The Highsinger proved to withstand several blaster fire. Using his new legs, Malek displayed his use of martial arts against the assassin droid, but would do little damage as one punch would send him flying. One one knee Malek fired with his Warlord pistols, as the others with rifles, and after minutes of shooting and fighting, they were able to pin down the droid. But, still in power he threw a smoke bomb and escaped, leaving much of his weapons behind, and few Separatists plans that were on him. Malek picked it up and took flight in his jetpack and returned to the Republic base, and told the Mandalorians who had helped him that he would be back as soon as his job was done, and that the guild working for the Republic in this case benefited the guild only.
Secondary Stages

of the Separatists base. Malek would make quick work of the mission and any droids who came his way. Deliever the supplies, Malek made way to complete his next mission. After arriving on the Republic base, Malek was tasked with destroying a new B2 Assault droid, in order to see why it was tough to take down. Taking his Shadow Tech Rifle, Malek headed once more to the Separatist base and would later on locate the droid east of it's primary location. Moving silently towards the droid, Malek threw several thermal grenades around it to get it distracted as to which direction it was being attacked from. As soon as he confused it, Malek went and attack the B2 Assault droid, who was able to withstand any shot thrown at him for a short amount of time. Alerting other droids in the area, Malek took flight in his jetpack and shot down all the incoming droids, until he was able to get an easy shot on the droid. Aiming towards it's head, Malek fired and killed the droid. He then took the body to the Republic base so it could be studied, and determine why it had such tough armor.
Jedi aid
"Are you General Malek Kriya?"
"Yes I am, and you are Jedi Knight Ana Zett. Here's the piece you need to fix your lightsaber."
"Thank you, and continue to serve well."
"Always."
-Malek and Jedi Knight Ana Zett
Malek shortly after handing Ana Zett her lightsaber channel observes the Jedi in constructing the piece.
After the droid mission, Malek was sent to help Jedi Knight Ana Zett with her lightsaber. Malek himself had no hate for the Jedi, nor he wanted to quarrel with them, but always found their battle tactics weak and ineffective, despite the fact they had given the Republic several victories. Getting the proper material for lightsaber construction, Malek went of in his speeder and traveled to Ana's location after she contacted him. Encountering several pirates on his way, who were working with the Separatists, Malek had no intention of being defeated, stopped, or killed by the Human, Zabrak and Twi'lek pirates. While riding his speeder, Malek shot down the incoming pirates with ease, using his Zenolian powers to drive his speeder. After traveling through the forests, Malek met up Jedi KnightAna Zett and handed her the final piece needed for her lightsaber. Curious in how lightsabers were constructed, Malek stayed behind in seeing how it was done. Ana would agree and show him. After a few seconds, Ana fully constructed her lightsaber, which it would then work, prior to it not working. Receiving yet again another task, Malek departed and bid farewell to the Jedi wishing her the best of luck and that she continue serving her republic with honor. Malek then left and returned to the base.
Close enemies & Finishing touches
"We thank you for your work Malek. It was great serving under you."
"Likewise Boss, but you know I work for a price."
"Yes, and the fact that this benefited you, it also benefited us. I wish you well in your future."
"Thank you. Farewell Boss, and continue serving your Republic with honor. That's is what keeps it alive."
-Malek and Boss
Malek and Spectra find the droid.
Because of the overbearing missions, Malek was force to spent more than a week on Felucia in completing his final missions. One of the missions involved in gaining Intel from an astromech droid named RT-T3, but to do so he had to gather information by the Separatist base. Going with Spectra Phantom, the two went of in search of the base. Using their speeders, they would encounter several Sniper droidekas, B-1 battle droids, and BV-2 battle droids with tougher armor. Making quick work of them, Malek and Spectra were able to find the downed B-1 battle droid, which had been taken down by an electrical shock from RT-T3. After scanning the area, they determined that RT-T3 had left after being discovered and fled in order not to get caught by any other droids. Once more, they headed into the Felucian forest, where they found RT-T3 moving around in circles waiting for it's information to be collected, but noticing quickly, Malek shot down five incoming droids and then retrieved the info needed for the Republic. Thanking Spectra for his assistance, the two departed to their separate destinations, to continue carrying their missions. As soon as Malek returned to the base, a clone trooper came out of the blue and threw himself into

the Mandalorian knocking him of his speeder, sending it crashing into a wall of the base, causing minimal damage, and a few injuries to clones who were near the area. Kicking him of, Malek got to his feet, and grabbed him lifting him of the ground and threw him in anger. Boss who had seen what happened ask the trooper why he did that, but he wouldn't answer. Instead he pulled out a blaster pistol and pointed it at Malek, threatening to kill him if he did anything. The trooper then said that he was jealous all the praise Malek was getting, and that it was not right they confide their trust into an enemy of the Republic. Malek then pulled out his pistol and told the clone that his actions were his own, thus was his job as a Mandalorian, and that he eventually had no quarrel with them and was looking to reinstate his Republic bounty hunting career. The trooper simply mocked Malek and continue saying he would kill him. Having no choice, and knowing it would hurt them, Malek instantly shot the trooper without moving, and quickly put his pistol away. Walking to his body, the trooper revealed to Malek that the reason he met so much resistance was because of him sending pieces of information to the Separatists on his location and where he would be, thus explained the reason on why he lost his legs, since he informed Grievous. Asking for forgiveness on his stubbornness and idiotic actions, Malek told him it was not needed for it wasn't his fault. He had left dark actions get the best of him. Saying a prayer in Mando'a , he told the trooper to die in and go in peace, which he would do. Malek was then given his payment and left Felucia with the Mandalorian Guild, where he would await for the Republic to contact him in the needs of his bounty hunting services.
Working wih Jabba the Hutt
"Jabba the Hutt, I hear you are in the needs of a bounty hunter. I came hear to tell you, that I am one available for hire."
"I like you Malek, my personal bounty hunter you will be."
"Yes sir."
-Malek offers his bounty hunter services to Jabba the Hutt
Malek finds Jabba the Hutt's palace in the desert wasteland of Tatooine.
A few weeks after Felucia, Malek was contacted by notorious Huttcrime lordJabba the Hutt, who was in need of a personal bounty hunter. Accepting his offer, Malek departed of the planet of Tatooine. Taking his personal speeder, Malek left his ship and went in search of Jabba the Hutt's palace. Searching across the desert wasteland of the planet, Malek found Jabba the Hutt's palace, which was located not to far from where he had landed. Speeding, Malek wasted no time in meeting the Hutt crime lord, for he would receive a wealthy payment just by accepting in becoming his bounty hunter. Once he arrived in front of the palace, where he was greeted by two Gamorrean guards who were going to welcome him to the palace. However, another guard came out and went to attack Malek, becuase of his hate for humans. Not even surprised or shocked, Malek grabbed the Gamorrean's neck and lifted him up and broke it, killing the guard. Malek then entered and met Jabba, who would pay him one million credits. Accepting to become his personal bounty hunter, Malek began to work for Jabba. After this, Malek became the most paid bounty hunter in galactic history, until he was bested by Boba Fett for the title of best bounty hunter in the galaxy. Malek would become Jabba's personal bounty hunter until 8 BBY, which would be when he was betrayed by Jabba who would leave him to die at the hands of the rancor. Malek was able to escape with his life after putting the rancor to sleep. During his time with Jabba, Malek also took bounties for the Republic.
Acolyte Mission
"We need your help Malek."
"Why is that?"
"Your skills are legendary with a blade. We need you take care of an acolyte of Dooku's on Dathomir."
"Ok. I will take this offer."
-The Jedi Council to Malek
Malek duels the Dark Acolyte Wiffa Zett on Dathomir
A few days after Felucia, the Jedi Council contacted Malek. Since he was already recognized as a Mandalorian legend, Malek was asked to remove a Sith Acolyte, who was located on Dathomir, and an apprentice to the Sith Lord CountDooku. Taking up the mission, Malek brandished his lightsaber and said that it was time for the dark-sider to meet his/her end. Escorted to Dathomir in a Venator Class-Crusier, Malek made his way toward an ancient arena, known as the Crucible, which was the location of the female acolyte. Taking only his blades, Malek left the ship in his jetpack and landed in the arena. Igniting his blade, Malek charged at the acolyte, who after sensing his arrival, Wiffa Zett, as she shouted her name, also charged on Malek. Using a red blade he possessed, Malek would viciously duel Wiffa. As the two engaged in the duel, Wiffa was shocked on how Malek was able to resist her Force powers, as he was even able to use similar abilities to that of hers. In her confusion, Malek seized the oppurnity to drive his blade through her heart, killing her. Malek returned to the Jedi Temple and recieved his payment.
Final Republic bounties
"The Republic paid me well. Being a bounty hunter has it's usefulness in many ways."
-Malek on his role as a bounty hunter for the Republic
By the end of 20 BBY, Malek had already taken eight bounties for the Republic, as most of it involved attacking Separatist Dreadnaughts, which were always a success, managing to destroy them as well. As 19 BBY, crept itself into history, Malek began to work less for the Republic, due to the constant battles often occurring one after another. Two months later, Malek would eventually meet with the Jedi Council and Galactic Senate for the last time announcing, that he was breaking ties with them, for he decided it would be best for them to focus on the final stages of the war. It would eventually hurt the senate knowing they lost their greatest source of Intel, but Malek was offered one final bounty, which he would take. Ordered in attacking a local Separatist base, Malek was offered 600,000 credits, plus an extra 400,000 if he managed to destroy it. Pleasing them in less than five hours after receiving the mission, Malek was given his last payment, and left Coruscant wishing them the best.
Fall of the Republic
I did not expect this to happen. I will pledge my services to the Galactic Empire."
In 19 BBY, after Malek finished his work for the Galactic Republic and recieved several payments for his attacks on Separatists bases, Malek returned to the Mandalorian Guild. A few weeks later, the Galactic Republic would end when Order 66 was initiated. This began the near-extermination of the Jedi. Having a strong dislike for the Jedi, Malek hunted down several Jedi aiding several clone troopers. Malek killed almost a dozen Jedi trapped in the temple, and because of this the Sith Lord Darth Vader praised his tactics and even his Zenolian powers, which Malek decided to use. Malek had used his Zenolian powers few times during the Clone Wars, but decided it was best to use it at the present time.
Joining the Empire
"You two have served me well, just like Boba Fett."
"Thank you, my Lord."
"I have further uses for you."
"What is my mission?"
"There is a vital outpost on the planet of Felucia, that works for the Rebellion. Find them and destroy it. Wipe them out, all of them.
Malek and his wife Xasha working for the Galactic Empire in 12 BBY.
Pledging their full services to the Empire, Malek and Xasha became full-time bounty hunters and assassins. While taking on assignments for the Empire, at the same time, Malek also took several missions for Jabba the Hutt and the Mandalorian Guild. Malek and Xasha would for for the Empire for almost 18 years.
During their time with the Empire, Malek and Xasha gave birth to their second child, whom they would name Mirta Kriya. Despite being heavily tasked with jobs, they took the time in training their daughter. Ordered in attacking several remaining Jedi survivors, the two agreed with the price of money, and always came back successful. During this time, Malek and Xasha's Zenolian powers increased the more they used it when fighting Jedi. This came to the concern of both Vader and Sidious, knowing that the two bounty hunters could replace them in due time, but Malek and Xasha cared not for the Empire, for they only cared about always getting paid. Having partaked in over 800 missions by 1 BBY, Malek and Xasha were called upon the Emperor, who tasked them with their most difficult task ever. Ordered in attacking a vital Rebellion outpost, Sidious told them to kill all inhabitants, which involved children. Knowing they had children of their own, whom the two had been taking care of while with the Empire, they did not want other parents to suffer upon the death of their child. Officially breaking ties with the Empire, Malek and Xasha left to continue taking care of the children and in partaking several missions with the Guild once more, after being unavailable for two years. However in 7 ABY, the Mandalorian Guild was fragmented, causing Malek and his wife Xasha to split ways from their vode who they had worked with in the guild for a long time.
Return and war with the Rikan Clan (1 BBY-8 ABY)
"For years my clan fought against you, yet you still returned. I give you credit on that, but nothing more."
"Why thank you Zatar, or should I now say Malek, what happened to your parents? Awwww did they die years ago? So sad, and oh, how's your amazing daughter. HAHAHAHAHAHA! She's an amazing dancer. But wait, your parents have been dead for thousands of years. Wow we Zenolian Mandalorian Clans know how to survive."
"Watch what you say. Say that again and you die. No one makes fun of my grandparents, or does that to my daughter."
"Oh well, should have told me sooner. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
"Boba, on my comand leave, understood Ad (son)."
"Yes Buir (father)."
"Aww, are the----(blast fired)"

-Malek kills the leader of the Rikan Clan after the latter insulted his parents and his daughter
Malek escaping a Rikan Clan ambush.
A few months after falling out of league with the Empire, Malek would be invovled in one of the biggest Mandalorian Clan clashes in history. Returning to the Kriya Clan, Malek would meet up with Vhonte Kriya, after she had asked him to do so. Landing outside the newly built Kriya base, Malek would only discover that his daughter Mirta was in complete shock, after a recent encounter. Rarely moving, Malek went to see his daughter, who had locked herself in Malek's room. Malek asked why she was like this, but wouldn't be told, until Xasha got angry and picked up a fellow Kriya member named Zac Kriya demanding why Mirta was in shock. Scared at her reaction, Zac answered that she had been recently forced to dance as a slave dancer for entertainment, which was why they were out of contact and missing for two months, done by the leader of the Rikan Clan. Completely filled up with rage in an instant, Malek unleashed a piercing scream that caused the base to shake. Running of to Concordia, with the company of his son, the two went on to give the Rikan Clan a little surprise. Boba who had been driven by rage and hate, vowed to his father that he would wipe out the Rikan Clan. Xasha would only watch in tears as her husband and son left the planet, while her daughter was still shaking calling out for her family. Landing outside the entrance to the base of the Rikans, they were greeted none other by the leader himself, who was named Rien Rikan. Greeting them as if they were friends, Rien

welcomed them to his home. However, several Mandalorian Rikans came out of nowhere and pinned Malek and Boba to the ground. Rien would then follow by having them escorted into the base, but not to hurt them. After being knocked out cold, and waking up a few minutes later. Rien would then start of by remembering the problems the Kriya and Morak clans caused his clan for hundreds of years, on how they were always humiliated by them. Malek would respond by congratulating him on how he had survived that long, but would later be infuriated when the Clan leader insulted Malek's dead parents (Dir and Elisa) and saying how he enjoyed hurting Malek's daughter Mirta the way he did. Angered, Malek threatened and told Rien to repeat it again, with Boba saying the same. However before Rien could say anything, Malek gave the order to his son and leave, and instantly pulling out a blaster, Malek shot and killed Rien by a shot to the head. Hearing this, many Rikans came to attack Malek, who would activate his jetpack and shoot down the Rkian warriors while breaking out the base, ending the Rikan ambush. Returning to their ship, Malek and his son Boba returned to Concord Dawn alerting both the Kriya and Lazen clans to prepare for war.
The war itself and Xasha's death (5 ABY)

Malek (red-grey armor) and his son (green armor) lead an attack on the Rikan Clan on the world of Galidraan in 1 ABY.
A month after the death of Rien Rikan, the Rikan Clan grew furious upon the death of their leader. Although they were able to gain a new leader, who was Rien's brother, named Jest Rikan, he was completely fueled with anger. The new found leader would declare war on both the Kriya and Lazen Clans, who had planned to annihilate them. The war between the three clans would be settled throughout several places however the three most known fights occurred on the most known Mandalorian planets. Splitting themselves up, the Kriya and Lazen clans would be stationed on Concord Dawn, Korda 6, Galidraan, and Concordia. While information on the war is mostly unknown, it is known that the Kriya and Lazen Clans suffered heavy losses, that led to their near-extinctions. Meanwhile, the Rikan Clan was completely destroyed once Jest Rikan was killed by Mirta Kriya in the name of honor and family. For eight years throughout the war, the Rikan Clan and Kriya and Lazen seemed to have advantages depending on where they fought. As the Kriya and Lazen Clans fought side by side against the Rikan, they suffered twice as many losses than the Rikans, but sense both clans had a high number of members joining them, or getting aid from several other clans, it would be hard for them to be exterminated, as the Rikan clan alike, who gained help by the rival clans. As the war reached it's final two years, Malek changed the battle tactics for his clan and allies, that gave them an overwhelming advantage, as even able to coordinate successful ambushes. After almost ten years of fighting the war came to an end, with the Rikan Clan completely destroyed, as their allies were now few in numbers. Meanwhile both the Lazen and Kriya Clan were almost completely exterminated because of it, as their allies were also wiped out, with fewer than three clans remaining on their side. Malek would however not

count victory, and nor would the other clans. Gathering the remaining bodies, they headed back to Concord Dawn, where they prepared a funeral for the hundreds of warriors who had perished in the final battle. Arriving at the gravesite, where thousands of fallen Mandalorian warriors laid, they put to rest their kin, where they could be at peace. In ten years, the Kriyan clan and Lazen clan lost more than half their kin, numbering in the hundreds, similar to their allied clans. Stricken with grief, Malek now knew that the only full family that remained was his, his son's and daughter's as well. Knowing that the only way they could keep the clans together, he called for a meeting which was held a week later. Agreeing, the leaders of the clans decided to form a group known as the "Fallen Mandalorians", which became the new name to all the surviving Mandalorian Clans, as much to their surpise, their enemies decided to join them in the name of honor. In the war itself, Malek fought with his daughter several times, where he was able to help heal her spirit, allowing her to finish of the Rikan generals. However, sadly, Malek's wife Xasha Lazen died in 5 ABY, after suffering from a strange illness, which she got after suffering a an injury that caused a cut to her body. Her cut was infected, to which the illness took it course, causing her to have terrible pain. Although she still fought while suffering with the illness for almost three years, it would not be enough. During one of the most disastrous defeats Malek and his allies ever suffered, Xasha fell from the sky lifeless, as Malek saw he caught her body, now knowing she died. Ordering a retreat, Malek took his wife's body and buried it on Concord Dawn. In 41 ABY, Malek later brought her remains to Zeno and made it her final resting place.
The Fallen Mandalorians
"The reason this group was made was not just to honor our fallen brothers and sisters, but to honor the True Mandalorians and the Mandalorian Guild." They all fought for what we Mandalorians are today, and we will continue that legacy for years to come"
-Malek to the Mandalorian Clans shortly after being appointed leader of the Fallen Mandalorians
Malek and his daughter Mirta stand guard at the Fallen Mandalorians base.
After the formation of the Fallen Mandalorians, Malek was appointed leader after Mirta, and the other leaders of their clans agreed. All said they had full faith in him, for it was his leadership in the war that kept them alive. Accepting his leadership, Malek would be the first leader of the Fallen Mandalorians. During this time the Galactic Civil War had already been fought, which led to the fall of the Galactic Empire and death of Darth Sidious, and the redemption of Darth Vader to Anakin Skywalker, who would also die just shortly after returning to the Jedi Way. When he became the leader of the Fallen Mandalorians, Malek granted his daughter and son the ranks of generals, while his wife would be second-in-command of the newly made Mandalorian reformation group. Several others would serve as commanders, and others would simply be identified as soldiers. Setting up several bases on Mandalore, Concordia, Korda 6, Corellia, and on Coruscant, the Fallen Mandalorians would become a trusted ally of the New Republic and also, they would take jobs as bounty hunters.
A new love
"You saved me. Who are you?"
"I am Malek Kriya, bounty hunter. Who are you?"
"I am Deborrah, Sith Lord. I thank you for helping me."
"Your welcome, mistress."
-Malek and Deborrah on their first meeting
Malek and his second wife Deborrah hold hands as they bare witness an attack on Mandalore.
After the formation of the Fallen Mandalorians, Malek took his bounty hunting career again and to farther places of the galaxy. During one of his bounties, Malek came across a ship, which seemingly had no power, but after taking a closer look, Malek noticed that the ship had been severely damaged by blaster fire, with both it's hyperdrive and life support system destroyed. Deciding to investigate, Malek entered the ship and found a female trapped in the ship, who was unconscious and had a low pulse rate, as oxygen in the ship was severely low. Deciding to take her, Malek took the unidentified female to an infirmary to treat her injuries and restore her health. Eventually, she recovered rather quick, and saw Malek who was preparing to leave after paying the medical doctor, who was an old friend in debt, and had at one point offered a bounty, to which Malek decided not to take the payment, in which he used the payment he had received from his last bounty to help him. Calling him to her bedside, Malek told the doctor to leave them alone, and he did. Deborrah thanked Malek for helping her and that she would return the debt by working with him in his missions as a bounty hunter and against his enemies, of which many would later include Sith. Malek told her that she didn't need to, but Deborrah insisted, and after several minutes, Malek agreed to let her help him. For the next decade, Deborrah assisted Malek in numerous bounties and in several attacks on rivaling Mandalorian clans of the Kriya Clan, all of which had planned attacks on him and his kin. Over time, the two fell in love with one another, and would later marry on Deborrah's homeworld of Taris in 20 ABY, although she was Zenolian. They gave birth to three children, and each were named Xasha Kriya, Fiona Kriya, and Zacyt Kriya. Later in life, in agreement with her husband, children and stepchildren, Deborrah started to used the alias Ailyn Luz, as a disguise.
Yuuzhan Vong War (25-29 ABY)
"So have we come to an understanding Malek and Deborrah? Are you two gonna aid us in this war?"
"Yes Anor, we will aid you in this."
"Just don't kill us, please. We have had enough."
"Oh, don't worry I won't kill you. You are the foundation of our army."
"F-f-fair enough."(Malek and Deborrah)
-A now frightened Malek and Deborrah pledge their services to the Yuuzhan Vong after being mercilessly tortured by Nom Anor
In the year of 25 ABY, Malek and his wife were sent on a mission by the new Republic to go and investigate the

loss of a Republic base out in the Outer Rim territories. Leaving the squad in command of his son's daughter, in which Boba was currently on a mission to Felucia, Malek departed of to Meridian sector, which was the location of the Republic base. When they landed on one of the planets, Malek and Deborrah could only bare to see that the entire base was completely destroyed, as bodies laid everywhere. While searching, they realized that the cause of the destruction came from the inside, but not by an accident, to which was done by a force of will. Seeing that there was nothing much they can do, they went back to their ship to leave the planet. However before they could, they were struck down by two Yuuzhan Vong warriors with amphistaffs on the back of their heads knocking them out. When they awoke, the two saw that they were in front of Nom Anor, a Yuuzhan Vong, who demanded they they help the Yuuzhan Vong in the upcoming pan-galactic conflict, seeking to destroy the New Republic. However the two stated they would not, for they wouldn't want to destroy the one government that kept them clean form bounty hunting crimes, and their numerous betrayals to the Republic as opposed to the Old Republic. Angered at their respone, he ordered the two be tortured with the most unbearable pain they could ever feel. After almost a

half-hour of torture, under fear, Malek and Deborrah pledged their services to aiding the Yuuzhan Vong.
Wanting their children to join them as well, as even several other Mandalorians serving under the two, two Yuuzhan Vong warriors tied the two and gagged them until they arrived on Concord Dawn. Breaking their binds and returning to their weapons, they told them to do what Anor had asked them. Seeing no other way, Malek and Deborrah gave the news to their fellow Mandalorians, but were all unaware of the reason why. Clueless, the Fallen Mandalorians agreed to aid the Yuuzhan Vong, as their children would forceibly join after Boba was threatened by the native species on Felucia, and Mirta at the base. However, Vhonte Kriya would refuse to join the spieces saying that they can't force her. After shooting and killing one of the warriors, the second one charged in at her and stabbed her through the abdomen, fatally wounding her. Running to his fellow kin's aid, Malek would try to help his sister, but she told him it was of no use, for it had entered to far, and gone through her back. Embracing her in tears, Vhonte would tell Malek to stay strong, and help Boba Fett in leading the Mandalorians through the war in order to survive. Asking for forgiveness on ot joining, Malek said it was no need, for she stood up for what she wanted. Saying their final words in Mando'a, Vhonte accepted her death and passed away peacefully. Muttering in Concordian, Malek vowed to do what Vhonte said. After she died, Malek's daughter Miranda donned his fellow kin's helmet in her memory, and he would use it also during his Mandalore years.
In 26 ABY, Malek was contacted by the New Republic forces, who were engaing the Yuuzhan Vong in a space battle. Requesting his help, Malek feared on what would happen to him and his family, he decided to give him battle strategies and tactics. With the help of his daughter Mirta, Malek was able to hide and keep the call untraceable. Successfully sending the tactics, the Republic was able to use it and achieve victory, and would do so for the next two years in several battles, where Malek secretly aided them with the help of Boba Fett.
In the final year of the war, after Mandalore was assualted by the Yuuzhan Vong, and when Fett's and Malek's deception was uncovered they led a small squadron of Mandalorian soldiers against the attackers, where they were able to destroy two of their warships single handedly, despite taking moderate losses. Boba would later help Malek in the town of Bralsin, the Mandalorians clashed with more than a thousand Yuuzhan Vong warriors, slaying them in droves. From orbit, the Yuuzhan Vong's warships dropped singularity ordnance indiscriminately, blowing massive craters in the surface of Mandalore. Large swathes of woodlands were flattened, including the

forests that surrounded Mandalore's capital city, Keldabe. Whole settlements of domains built into the branches of ancient veshok trees were obliterated in their entirety, and the buildings that comprised Keldabe sustained significant damage during the attack. Once fertile farmland was poisonedand salted, in an attempt to render it unusable.
The Mandalorians largely survived the orbital assault through the use of a network of underground tunnels that extended from beneath a number of their homes and structures, and into the mountains far away. When the Yuuzhan Vong deployed their warriors to the surface, the Mandalorians struck back, using the tunnels and their sheer martial ability to combat the Yuuzhan Vong. More than a thousand Yuuzhan Vong warriors engaged the Mandalorians in the small Keldabe suburb of Bralsin. Despite the area's poor defensive capabilities, the Mandalorians fought and defeated them in a massacre that would leave an imprint in the Force for more than a decade after. The Mandalorian soldier Goran Beviin, the first to make contact with the Yuuzhan Vong, killed several of their warriors at Bralsin with his beskadsaber. Legions of Mandalorian supercommandos,native soldiers, and the Mandalorian Protectors led by Boba Fett, fought to protect Mandalore from the Yuuzhan Vong,eventually defeating and repelling the invaders. When the battle finally came to an end, close to one and a half million Mandalorians were dead, and though the Yuuzhan Vong death toll was higher still, Mandalore's population had been reduced by nearly a third. During the battle, Malek and the Fallen Mandalorians suffered heavy losses, including the loss of his son's wife Ailyn, who died by the Coomb spore. Two days after he death a funeral was held for her, where she was honored for her services during the war, taking care of victims affected by the diseases, and protecting children even when she was diagnosed. Malek's son Boba was devastated by her death, as were his children. After the war was officially over, Malek passed on the leadership of the Fallen Mandalorians to his daughter and head of the recently formed Mandalorian Revival, to his son, which came from his wife.
A new War
"Dad, Mom, may we ask you a question?"
"Certainly what do you want to know?"
"Well, for some time, me, Mirta, Boba, Fiona and Zacyt have been wondering about our origins. In other words, your origins. What are we? Because we are not human, for we know that much. Nor is mother."
"That question I had planned to avoid for some time. Actually. I had wished I would avoid that question, for many reasons to be true."
"Why is that my dear Malek?"
"Because Deborrah, Malek Kriya is not my orginal name, but that of the orginal.
"(Mirta, Boba, Fiona, Xasha (daughter), Zacyt, and Deborrah in unsion) Original?"
"Yes, the original. My template was called Malek. I am just a clone created after he died. I took the name Malek Kriya because I saw that it was right."
"That does not matter my dear. Clone or not, I still and always will love you. Your kids feel the same way."
" (In unsion) Yeah dad, don't worry about that."
"Nevertheless, it does not change the fact of what we truly are. We are Zenolians, who reign from the planet of Zeno. A mysterious world, home to many types of Zenolians. The one I came from was from a bloodline of Zenolians who had a longer lifespan than most. I carry the the name in his memory. Over the years, my body becamed attuned to the Zenolian blood, and disregarded all ties to being a clone. Records would say I'm not, but history itself says otherwise."
"No matter that father, we don't care if you are a clone. You are a Zenolian and a father."
"And my husband."
"Thank you, all of you."
-Malek tells his family his true origins
Malek Kriya in his newly refurbished armor in 36 ABY.
Years following the Yuuzhan Vong War, Malek returned to his bounty hunter duties, often working with Boba Fett several times, even when Fett was in his seventies, Malek was surprised at how the Mandalorian bounty hunter continued to work. In 32 ABY, Malek made his biggest bounty since the Yuuzhan Vong War. Malek pursued a bounty of 500,000 credits that had been posted by the Traders' Coalition, in the task of killing an Atzerriglitterstim dealer named Bek. Tasked in killing him, Malek found the Atzerri dealer on the planet of Felucia, where he was taking refuge. Easily discovering the dealer's new home, Malek first saw Bek's wife and daughter, whom he was treating badly, shouting and cursing at them in Felucian. Malek was able to understand the harsh and cruel words that was being spit upon the two females, since he understood Felucian. Approaching the farm, Malek walked toward the farm and began speaking with Bek's young daughter who was crying in pain and fear, to which he would hand her some medicine, making her feel better. A few minutes later, Bek came out throwing his wife on the groud in anger, but would then get scared at seeing Malek, for he had a fear of Mandalorian bounty hunters. Pulling out his

trusty Warlord pistol, Malek began to walk slowly towards Bek, while the dealer walked backwards until he was cornered by the wall of his home. In an instant, Bek's wife remembered that he had been placed on a bounty list, and that no, Malek had come to collect it. Much to his surprise, Malek was ordered by Bek's own wife and daughter to kill him. Knowing it was his job, at point blank, Malek shot and killed Bek, and wouuld later pull his his darksaber, to then decapitate Bek's dead body, and bring back his head to his contractors. Before he left Felucia, Malek was given food and certain machine parts by Bek's wife and daughter, whom he would take to a new home on a farm located on his homeworld of Concord Dawn. He then took Bek's head to his contractors at the Traders Coalation, where they would pay him 1,000,000 credits, much to his surprise after being previously offered 500,000. Not caring, he took the money and gave it to his children, which they would use to modify their weapons and armor. After this, Malek returned to Concord Dawn again, where he would reveal to his children Boba and Mirta that both were Zenolians, along with their mother Xasha. Four years later, in 36 ABY, Malek would work alongside Boba Fett in a rescue mission. This would be one of the many times during the time of his highlighted bounty hunter years where Malek did not request the aid of his family, and would do so for the next 55 years. Nevertheless, it did not stray him from spending time with his family when they had no work. Although Malek's services kept him away for decades, Malek kept contact with his family. After his years of serving with Boba, Malek returned to his wife and family, claiming his first set of business was now over.
Rescuing Sintas
"All I will say is this. If you break my granddaughter's heart Janek, I will not hesitate to break your legs. Understood!"
"Yes sir. I swear I won't break her heart."
-Malek to Janek Dakari during his granddaughter's wedding.
Before heading of to rescue Sintas with Boba Fett and Mirta Gev, Malek traveled to Keldabe on Mandalore, for the wedding of his granddaughter Sintas Kriya, the daughter of his daughter Mirta "Miranda" Kriya. Attending the wedding with his wife, and several other family members, Malek had given Janek and Sintas his blessing, to which the two would marry two months later. After his granddaughter's marriage, Malek accompanied Boba to rescue Sintas Vel,who was on Phaeda, frozen in carbonite, and still alive. During the same time, Malek met Jaina Solo, which would be the first Jedi he initially met since the time of the Clone Wars. Malek would also help train the Jedi Knight, much to her insistence, which he would surprisingly agree without protest or showing aggression towards Jania. After they were able to free Sintas from her carbonite prison, she was healed by the former Jedi Gotab, who was now a Mandalorian. Sintas was then able to recover her sight and memories.
Training Jaina
"You are the first Jedi I have met in over sixty years Jaina."
"Really?"
"Yes, and it would be an honor to help train you. These are dark times, but so you know, I have no hate or quarrel with the Jedi."
"That's good to hear."
"Yes, but don't think I have any respect for those Jedi responsible for the near extermination of my clan."
"I understand."
Malek and Jaina during a training session
Just like Boba Fett, Malek helped train Jedi Knight Jaina Solo, which would eventually help in defeating her fallen brother.
Some time later, Malek would encounter Jedi Knight Jaina Solo. the daughter of Han Solo. During this time, Malek was still working with Boba Fett. The young Jedi had set out to enlist their aid in hunting her brother Darth Caedus, the new Dark Lord of the Sith, and to learn from their skills, so she would need to confront her twin. Arriving on Mandalore in an X-wing, Jaina found herself confronted by a group of heavily armed Mandalorians, to which she was escorted to meet Boba Fett in a humble, rustic cantina that served as the Mandalore's seat of government, all too aware of the traditional Mandalorian dislike for Jedi. Fett and Malek agreed to train her, but promised to be a hard teacher, as Malek said he would be strict, and not kind. Malek would initially watch her first few lessons with Boba, in which she would constantly be easily beaten, but she would still continue despite the humiliation.
For the next several months, Malek partook in many training sessions with Jaina, whom he would easily beat, but to everyone's surprise he rarely humiliated her, and would often give her tips during sparring matches. Despite the fact that Jaina was able to best Malek two times, Malek showed a great amount of trust in the young Jedi, knowing she would eventually defeat her fallen brother. Because of this, Malek and Jaina formed a friendship, just like with Mirta Gev, who would also become Jaina's friend. After her training was completed, Malek spoke to Jaina telling her that he had trust in her, knowing she would do what was right, and show what it meant to be a Jedi. Knowing that he had no hate for the Jedi, Jaina remarked that if he had chosen the path, he would have made a great and terrific Jedi, and that he was who he was. After this she left and wished Malek the best for his family and himself, as Malek would say the same. Once she left, Malek was confronted by Boba, who wasked why he had no hate for the Jedi. Malek would respond that if it wasn't for the Jedi, his first parents Zatar Morak and Elisa Vizla would have died, and that he would never have been born. Demanding he respect his opinion and views, Boba said that he had no hate for Malek himself, for he was a good ally, and even a great friend. Malek said to Boba then, that he would help him cheat death, and live much more longer, for he knew away, which would surprise Boba. Working with his doctor, Malek helped devise a potion that granted Boba his youth and an enhanced lifespan, without flaw. Malek then returned home and went on a mission to Taris with his wife Deborrah, a mission that lasted three months.
End of the war
"My purpose here has ended. I have done my duties. I must return to the home of my ancestor Malek Morak. It was an honor serving with you Boba Fett. May our paths cross again."
"Likewise, my fellow Mandalorian."
Malek to Boba before his departure to the planet of Zeno
After the death of Jacen Solo, at the hands of his sister Jaina, Malek decided that his duties for both the Jedi Coalition & the Galactic Alliance had finished. After some time on Mandalore, Malek left the planet, where he then bid farewell to his bounty hunter companion and friend Boba Fett. After this, he left, with his family going with him, due to the fact, that over the years, following his grandchildren, and several others decided to follow him because of their Zenolian bloodline. After two weeks of searching, Malek and his family found Zeno, where they decided to make it their new home. Zeno would become the birthplace of both his granddaughter's and grandson's children, and many generations afterward. Welcomed as a friend, Malek and his family were given their own homes on the native planet, and pledged their Mandalorian services to the Zeno-Sith Imperial Order, including to several other Zeno affiliations.
Hidden from history (41-120 ABY)
"For several decades, me and my family spent our lives in hiding. The reasons are for personal assets, thus shall not be discussed. Thanks to Ren Ion, me and my entire family learned on how to fully control, wield, and utilize our Zenolian powers. Because of that we are grateful. We, the Kriyans, and the new Lazens, shall return the true face of the Mandalorians, those who died, my brothers from the Mandalorian Guild, i carry their legacy, like my family as well. We shall return to the galaxy."
"My husband was the most dangerous man to haveever lived. No matter what history says, he had a heart to care for those who were not need of caring, but because he did care for his family and people. That is the man that Malek Kriya was."
-An excerpt from Malek's autobiographical journal, with a writing of his wife Deborrah present
After arriving on Zeno, Malek and his enitre family spent several years in hiding and training under Ren Ion. Wanting to know on how to properly use his Zenolian abilities, Ren Ion agreed in training Malek, and his entire family. Undergoing strict training, and hundreds of sparring matches with other Zenolians and family members alike, the new Kriyans were able to control their Zenolian abilities, as many generations that were born during this time were able to at early ages. After spending eighty years hidden, Malek returned to the galaxy, where he would return to Mandalore, and would allign it with Zeno, after persuading the new Mand'alor to do so seven years later.
Becoming Mandalore (139-259 ABY)
"Being a Mandalorian is one thing, but becoming the sole ruler is a completely different story."
-Malek on his role as Mand'alor
Malek Kriya, Mandalore.
Around eleven years later, Malek returned to Mandalore once more, after being on a decade long mission in fighting to protect Zeno from invading enemies. Meeting up with Yaga Auchs, the current ruler of the planet, Malek came in questions. Wondering on why Mandalore broke ties with Zeno, Malek came to argue. Yaga stated that he found the native Zenolians were weak and a poor excuse for an ally, for they couldn't even defend their home without the help of the Mandalorian warriors. This angered Malek, where he responded by saying he was a Zenolian, and that his words not only insulted his friends, but also his family. He also stated that the Zenolians were a force not to reckon with, nor offend for they were armed to the teeth with naval/militant forces. He also stated that Zeno space is located outside of the galaxy and is isolated, so which is a possible reason on why he is so naive about Zenolian navy, and on the spieces itself, much to the annoyance of Yaga.
"Now you know what I'm capable of Yaga. I will do anything to protect my family, including my fellow Zenolians. They are my friends and family. You paid for your insolence with your life. As of today, I proclaim myself as leader of Mandalore and I now reinstate the reformation of the Mandalorian/Zeno Empire, army, and affiliation."
-Malek shortly after killing Yaga and taking the title of Mand'alor
Yaga would then simply laugh at his words, only making him more angry. Pulling out a blaster, Malek killed Yaga
The Zeno Mandalorians.
but shooting him in the face in point blank range. This would cause several Mandalorian guards to rush up to Yaga's position, but instead of attacking Malek, they proclaimed him as the new ruler of Mandalore, for he earned it in killing the former one. Accepting the title, Malek remade the alliance between Mandalore and Zeno, where he was able to remake a Mandalorian army for both planets. Malek became the oldest Mand'alor in both galactic and Mandalorian history, as the first Zenolian ever. Malek would remain as Mand'alor for the next one hundred and twenty years, until he passed his title of to his great-great-great-great-great grandson Koi Kriya. While as Mand'alor, Malek created the Zeno Mandalorians, which was a group of highly skilled Mandalorian warriors dedicated in fighting for their homeworlds of Mandalore and Zeno, and also protecting it. While as Mand'alor, Malek was able to rebuild certain parts of the planet that had been destroyed during the Yuuzhan Vong War, which had been under construction for several decades, but because of his mastery in constructing, Malek was able to technologically advanced Mandalore. Once Malek became leader, he assigned his wife Deborrah, now under the alias Ailyn Luz, the second leader of the planet, and the one in charge while he was away.
Stages of a New War & the Silent Watch
"More than a hundred years ago, a war of this caliber was fought between the Death Watch and True Mandalorians. And now it is fought once more between the Zeno Mandalorians and the Silent Watch. Still, what a ridiculous name. Silent Watch, there is nothing threatening about it, nor is it silent. Yet, they are serious, to the fact they evovled from a small group of hooligans, to a radical Mandalorian army, opposing my rule. Ironically, they honor the Death Watch, but they want to return the New Mandalorian goverment."
-Malek during a conference
Around three years after becoming the ruler of Mandalore, Malek became involved in his first war as a initial ruler. Prior to becoming Mand'alor, Malek had previously been involved in a small confrontation with a newly formed
Mandalorian Death Watch Tribute - The Chosen Ones
Music that played during Malek's Mand'alor years, as he remembered the Mandalorian Guild.
Mandalorian splinter group named the Silent Watch. At the time, it was a group of hooligans who attacked several high-ranking Mandalorians and always left a message saying that the New Mandalorians would one day return to the galaxy. Malek however found the group to be completely hypocritical, because of how they honored the Death Watch but wanted the New Mandalorians to return to the galaxy, to which had been a pacifistic government. He would even tell his people of Mandalore that if one wants a peaceful rule, violence wasn't needed, which was made the Silent Watch look very hypocritical. Malek's people trusted not only his words, but also his wife's for they knew they were right, although he found peace to be weak in many stages, for it always finished in violence, through reasons unknown or because of a revolution that sparks the key. Nevertheless, following his frist years as Mand'alor, the Silent Watch had recently formed itself and began recruiting people to their cause, to which a surpringly high number of people opposed Malek's sole leader rule, and supported the rule of Satine Kryze, who had been final New Mandalorian ruler hundreds of years ago during the Clone Wars. By the year of 141 ABY, Silent Watch had grown significantlly high in numbers, after just starting as a group of small teenagers in Malek's first year as ruler. A few months into his second year as ruler, the capital city of Sundari had been attacked. Taking a few men of the Zeno Mandalorians, and his wife, they searched through the burned city, and saw many of it's citizens dead, until a young girl came out of the rubble and told them what had happened. Malek and his wife Deborrah then declared war on the Silent Watch and vowed to eradicate them and remove them from galactic history.
Second Mandalorian Civil War (142 ABY-152 ABY)
"It looks like we have no choice but to fight the Silent Watch."
"But sir, are you sure? I mean, is that the only choice?"
Yes, it is soldier You will learn how it is we Mandalorian stay strong. You are a good man. Keep that with you in battle as you fight for your loved ones. Deborrah, Mirta, Boba ready the men and take them to Concord Dawn, Galidraan, Corellia, and Concordia. Janek, Jiu, Yuki, and Zaket, ready the men here. Jent, Hil, and Durbe, you three come with me to Felucia. We are going to war."
"(Everyone in unsion) Yes sir!"
"(Deborrah) As you wish honey."
-Malek declares war on the Silent Watch
Malek prepares to meet Pre Doko on Felucia.
By 142 ABY, the Silent Watch had attacked several bases of the Zeno Mandalorians, Kriyan and the newly reformed Lazen Clan bases, which resulted in little casualties because they fought back against them. Nevertheless, few casualties would affected Malek greatly because the Silent Watch knew when and how to attack. Gathering his highest ranking generals, and few members of his family, Malek had them set out several mobile Mandalorian armies in the locations of their bases, and in certain other areas. Malek would also contact Zeno and told them to stand by in case they needed any help, and they said they were always ready. Readying his men, Malek first marched his men to Felucia to meet up with the leader of the Silent Watch, who was named Pre Doko.
Demanding that they stop their movement and give into justice on their recent actions of Mandalore, Doko stated that he wouldn't, and if it meant he had to go to war, he would do so and kill Malek himself in the future, for now it was to early. Meanwhile on Galidraan, his wife, daughter, son and two other unidentified Kriyan Generals, were awaiting for a meeting with Jort Higin, High General of the Silent Watch, but would be instantly attacked by the Silent Watch themselves. Knowing that it had been planned out, they fought back against their attackers. Contacting her father, Mirta warned him that it was a trap, and to prepare for an ambush. Pre Doko simply smiled and gave a direct order for an attack. Emerging from their hiding spots, Malek and his men were attacked, only to go quickly on both the offense and defense. As the first two battles of a decade long war began, Mandalore grew restless and prayed that Malek would emerge victorious, but much to everyone's disappointment, it would be a decade long war.
The first stages
"It has been only four years, and we have lost millions of our people, and barely a fraction of our warriors, although it is enough to say heavy causalities. Why do they stray themselves in attacking the innocent. To them we are the enemy, as they are to us. The people are not the enemy.
-Malek to several of his men during the Fifth Battle of Felucia
The Zeno Mandalorians holding of the Silent Watch during the Third Battle of Ryloth in 146 ABY.
For the first four years of the war, the battles centralized themselves five times on Felucia, three times on Galidraan, two times on Coruscant, once on Ryloth, four times on Corellia, and two times on Concordia, and two times on an unknown planet. However, during the war, while Malek, his family, and the Zeno Mandalorians were distracted by the battles, Pre Doko secretly sent platoons of men to attack the planet of Mandalore in the hopes of gaining te support of it's people. The primary targets were the cities of Sundari and Keldabe, which were the homes of the newborn descendents of both the Kriya and Lazen clans. Eventually several towns and other cities evacuated in time before the attacks including both clans, but some decided to stay and die for the Mandalore Malek had made. The sacrifices of his people deeply saddened Malek, but knew that they did because they respected and loved him, as they were innocent civilians. Much to Doko's anger, the attack would never work, for they knew of the Silent's Watch's intentions.
End of the war & fall of the Silent Watch
"So it all ends like this? Never expected it to be like this."
"You brought this upon yourself Doko. You killed millions of innocents during the war, but it doesn't have to end. We are all Mandalorian warriors."
"Yes I know, which does not depend which side we are on, but decisions are made."
"Ni dinu ner gaan naakyc, jorcu ni nu copaani kyr'amur ner vod"
"A truce?"
"Yes, we agree that you fought for what you wanted, but the New Mandalorians won't be brought back by war and action. We may have lived in peace long ago, but the reason peace is around is for someone to come and end it abruptly. My government lived in peace for six months and trained for any incoming enemies."
"Take up the truce, and you will be forgiven."
"NO! I die for the New Mandalorians, and I warn you, they will return and you will die. It will be done by me, and your family Malek will.....
"'Ori'buyce, kih'kovid.
-Malek offers Pre Doko the chance to make a truce before killing him
Malek kills Pre Doko on Felucia after the latter rejected his offer for treason.
By 150 ABY, both the Zeno Mandalorian Armies and Silent Watch had been cut in half. As the war drew itself to a close, Malek and his team of the Zeno Mandalorians and the Kriya clan were successfully capturing several high ranking officials within the Silent Watch, and forcing them to reveal their battle plans and locations. After information was revealed, Malek and Deborrah coldly ordered their executions, all fo which were done by Kriyans and Lazens alike. After another six long months, Malek, Deborrah, along with their great-great-great-great-great grandchildren Jolek and Cher, they managed to capture Pre Doko, thus ending the war, and a victory for Malek's armies and the Zenolian Army as well. Cornering him and killing of some his final remaining warriors, Malek held Doko at blade point, offering him to accept a truce and officially end the war. Doko however replied that he would never make a truce with Malek, because his government was not right and that he would also die in the near future. Angered at his words, Malek used his darksaber to kill Doko by slicing him across the chest. He then picked up his body and threw it into the Sarlac Pit. Seeing his actions, the few remaining Silent Watch warriors pledged their alligence to Malek, telling him that they now served him. After this, Malek returned to Mandalore promising his people that their cities would be rebuilt and that he would take the protection and their lives more into mind, and that they were his top priority. A few days later, Malek and his wife Deborrah, along with the rest of his family and allies held a funeral for the final Mandalorians who lost their lives in the final battle on Felucia. The war itself resulted in the near-death of Malek's first daughter Shae Kriya. Although she survived, she decided to retire. Malek himself was proud at her contributions to the war, and everything done years prior. Granting her the highest medal ever bestowed, Malek thanked his daughter again and she retired to Zeno, where she spent her life instructing other Mandalorians and Zenolians.
Fallen Honored
"Ni su'cuyi, gar kyr'adyc, ni partayli, gar darasuum."
"Nu kyr'adyc, shi taab'echaaj'la."
-Malek and Deborrah (Ailyn) during the massive funerals held for the final Zeno Mandalorians who lost their lives
Following the war, Malek would hold numerous funerals for almost a week to honor the Mandalorians who died during the war, including the recent ones. Despite being heavily severed, Malek was able to recreate the Zeno Mandalorians, but would change the armor. Also from 152 ABY-169 ABY, several statues were erected in the memory of the fallen Mandalorian warriors on both Mandalore and Zeno. During this time, Malek would mostly focus his life on leading his people as Mand'alor, working as a bounty hunter, and training the children of several of his descendants, while his wife retired from war, Sith, mercenary and bounty hunting service in 176 ABY to settle down and help the common folk of Mandalore. Her decision would not upset Malek, for he knew she wanted to rest, since she had gone through many things in her life, and wanted to also focus on her family. Still, Deborrah helped Malek in many thing, closely related to war and bounty hunting.
Imperial/Mandalorian Crisis (220-245 ABY)
"I honestly do not understand. The Sith Empire fell around the same time I became Mandalore, and they decide to come back now. Why couldn't they just have tried to accomplish that after Darth Kryat's death. Idiots."
-Malek Kriya on the Sith Empire
Malek meets up with his daughter on Felucia during the Imperial/Mandalorian Crisis in 232 ABY.
In the years of his ascension as leader of the newly created Mandalorian Empire, where the title Mand'alor now had a new meaning, Malek found himself in a two decade long span war of words with the newly reform Sith Empire, now named, the Resurrected Empire. The new Sith Empire gained an interest in the Zeno Mandalorians, and Malek himself, who was recognized as one of the best Mandalorian warriors of the era. Although Malek had long since worked as a bounty hunter and mercenary, the empire hoped to reinstate Malek reputation in his old careers. However, Malek had no intention of returning to his bounty hunter years again, until he felt it was the right time to give his lead as Mandalore to someone else. Angered by his words, the ruler of the new Sith Empire, Darth Xhaltan, contacted Malek and told him to meet him at the center of where both their empires were boarded. Agreeing, Malek left to meet up with the Dark Lord of the Sith on Felucia, however, after some insisting, Malek let his daughter join him and left Mandalore in charge of his son. After arriving at the rendezvous point. They were greeted by a large Star Destroyer, as were pulled in by a tractor beam. Exiting their ship, Malek and Mirta met up with three Sith Guards, who told them that Xhaltan was waiting for them in his throne room, and that they had to go quickly, for it was not wise to keep him waiting. Not wanting to be escorted, the two used their jetpacks to fly up to the throne room, dodging several pipes and going through airducts. Breaking up through a door, Malek and Mirta made their way towards the Sith Lord in his seat. Taking their seats, Malek asked on why he was summoned, and the reason was that Xhaltan wanted his bounty hunting career reinstated to a higher level, just as it was in his early years.
Not saying a word, Xhaltan snapped his fingers and two acolytes, from behind, with wires, tied both Malek and his daughter to their seats, and removed their weapons and helmets. Asking them to leave, Xhaltan spoke to the Mandalorian warriors telling them, that because of their actions, there people would suffer and die, unless he gave his services to him, along with his entire family and armies. However, Malek said he wouldn't give up the lives of his men, family, and people, just to serve under a totalitarian rule, which differed from his rule as Mand'alor, because, although he was a sole ruler, he did not control the lives of those on Mandalore and let them live their lives, by certain laws, but had freedom as well. Instantly lifting Malek up by his neck, Xhaltan cursed in Huttese, with Malek simply laughing at his words, since he understood the language. Unleashing a dagger, using his Zenolian abilities, Malek stabbed Xhaltan in the abdomen, breaking the hold, and dropping Malek down to the floor, breaking the chair and snapping the wire. Grabbing his weapons and helmet, Malek broke the wire holding Mirta, and she would also grab her helmet and weapons. The two Sith Acolytes who had tied them to the chair earlier came running to aid the injured Xhaltan, but were shot dead by Mirta, as three others by Malek. Knowing they had to escape, Malek and Mirta would bomb their way through walls and doors killing of several Imperial Guards and Sith Acolytes in their way until they reached the hangar. They would quickly board their ship, but not before using their rockets on their jetpacks to destroy several Imperial starfighters that were in the hangar. Once they boarded they left, just as soon as the hangar was completely destroyed, except the ship survived the blast, being a small amount of damage. Surprisingly, Xhaltan had no intention to go to war, but found pleasure in making several threats of war, as Malek would retaliate in having Mandalore heavily guarded by the Zeno fleet, who received his call to help, and agreed to help their fellow friend, ally and Zenolian. Malek did not want his people being killed, and would be forced to live in space for twenty years. During this time, Mlek went on several missions to numerous planets, which involved meeting up with secrets spies who were able to get info on the Sith's next move.It would go on and on for years until Malek and Xhaltan decided to determine each others fate in a duel in 245 ABY, on Coruscant.
Fateful Duel
"And now you die Malek. Your entire family, your people, warriors and allies will submit to my rule. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
"Ugh, I think not Xhaltan. Power consumes you, and it has become your downfall."
"What do you mean?"
"This!"
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
-Malek and Darth Xhaltan
Malek struggles to get up in his duel with the Dark Lord Darth Xhaltan, after the Sith Lord managed to injure him on one of his prosthetic legs.
In the hopes of keeping his people, and empire alive, Malek agreed to confront Xhaltan on Coruscant. Going alone in his ship, the Xasha L1, Malek landed on Coruscant near an old Jedi temple, which hadn't been used in more than a hundred years. Igniting their blades, Malek went on to duel the Sith Lord and both would clash their lightsabers, that caused a shockwave around them. Clashing their blades with all their strength, each gave it their all with both their lives on the line, including Mandalore's future. As the duel escalated, it would go into the temple itself, and outside again, which was still standing strong, despite it not being in use for more than a century. As each used power to amplify their defenses and attacks, the power of the Force between the two intensified. Xhaltan was impressed by Malek's abilities in the Force, but was unaware to the fact that it contributed to his Zenolian abilities, which was why Malek knew on how to use the Force. Still, Malek had troubles in fighting the Sith Lord, due to his mixture of abilities, although, Malek used abilities that would be considered unnatural. Nearing an edge of a dueling training arena, Xhaltan began to use his supernatural strength, and battered at Malek, causing him to lose his grip on one of his dark blades, which was then smacked of by a vicious blade and thrown over the edge. The blade fell a depth of fifty feet and was destroyed on impact, since the training arena was able to hover to a higher levels, although it was outside.
Noticing Xhaltan's second blade hooked to his belt, using his gauntlet, Malek threw a fibercord whip at the Sith Lord's legs, and pulled on the cord, dropping him to the ground and releasing the blade from his hand. Malek caught the blade with his left hand and waited for Xhaltan to get back to his feet. Using the second blade, Malek would then notice that it was the same blade he had, possessing the same hilt and crystal. Not caring, Malek charged onto the Sith Lord, but met with a vicious punch to the abdomen, and was sliced one of his prosthetic legs, and was then kicked at least five meters, near the edge of the arena. Struggling to get up because of the vicious blows, Xhaltan began to pronounce victory, but Malek after telling him that the power he so willingly sought for was his downfall, Xhaltan gave a questioning look. Unleashing a powerful blast of Kad'evor Lightning, that struck the Sith Lord with immense pain, and had a sense of torture, Xhaltan now saw what Malek meant, and started begging for his life. Lifting him up with the lightning, Malek pulled him towards where he was, and using the remaining power in his damaged prosthetic right leg, he jumped and kicked Xhaltan with enough force which sent him flying across the other side of the arena, and tumbled of, but managed to grab onto the ledge. Using his jetpack to reach the other side, Malek stood above a hanging Xhaltan, who begged for mercy, but he simply laughed and stepped on the Sith Lord's fingers, crushing them, and caused him to fall to his death, which was a fifty feet drop. Victorious, Malek returned to Mandalore, where a medic replaced his damaged cybernetic leg with a new one. Following Xhaltan's death, the Resurrected Empire witnessed a dramatic collapse in power and foundation. The Sith Empire had now been destroyed, and Malek showed that as Mand'alor, he was willing to do anything for his people.
Final Mand'alor years & return to Zeno
"I have served as ruler for more than a hundred years, and now I pass my title onto you Koi Kriya. Lead my people well, as they are now yours."
"I will act honorable in your stead Malek."
"Dad, are you returning to Zeno?"
"Yes my daughter, I am."
"I will come to. I have finally found my place in the home of my ancestors, and I will serve their home honorably, as you will."
"Very well. Let's go Mirta. Vode An Koi."
"Vode An Malek and Mirta."
-Malek hands his title as Mand'alor to Koi Kriya, shortly before returning to Zeno with his daughter
Spectra welcomes Malek back to Zeno, after serving more than one hundred years as Mand'alor.
From 245-259 ABY, Malek would serve his final years as Mand'alor. Once 259 ABY hit it's mark, Malek would give his title to Koi Kriya, who was his great grandson, born in 224 ABY, to the descending blood from his son's side. Malek then left Mandalore with his daughter Mirta and went to Zeno. Mirta would go on to become High General of the Zenolian Army & Navy. Malek would eventually return to his original warrior and bounty hunter ways, and even became Grand Magistrate of the Zeno Sith-Imperial Order. Upon his return to the planet, once he dropped of his daughter at the army base of Zeno, Malek would be welcomed by an old friend, and former Mandalorian Guild Commander, Spectra Phantom, who had long since retired from his Mandalorian service, and had only returned to the galaxy in 100 ABY. Malek himself was grateful to see Spectra. Malek then met Ren Ion once more, last seeing him in 245 ABY, following the fall of the Resurrected Empire. Ren Ion would also welcome back Malek to his ancestral home, which bared the name of hundreds of Kriyan Mandalorian warriors, which were all Zenolian. Thousands of years before, the Kriya Clan lived on Zeno, but weren't Mandalorian. The first, Malek Kriya was known as Malek the Terrible, due to his cruel personality. However, after meeting a female Mandalorian, who was Zenolian, he changed his ways and became a Mandalorian. He later became known as Malek the Ancestor. The clan lived on Zeno, living by the Mandalorian culture. Once he was on Zeno, Malek and Deborrah made plans to improve the political systems of their allies.
Reemergence as a bounty hunter (259-289 ABY)
"It's been years since bounty hunting was my lead role as a Mandalorian. Once more I will become a bounty hunter, and do what I do best."
"That's good my friend. For you to serve as a supreme judge and bounty hunter, it is something. I assure you that Zeno is now your new home right?"
"Yes."
-Malek & Ren Ion
Malek takes one last look at Coruscant before leaving.
A few months after returning to Zeno, Malek reinstated his career as a notable bounty hunter, as he would even work as a Grand Magistrate. Malek's first bounty since his return came from Coruscant itself, which requested him in taking out an assassin that was killing several senators of the Galactic Senate, and it was damaging their political system. Knowing he had to make another two-day long trip, Malek accepted it, because he knew that it would be a great way to restart his bounty hunting career. Arriving on Coruscant, Malek met up with Supreme Chancellor Dorin Hiruk, a Twi'lek politician. Once he arrived, Malek landed his ship outside the Galactic Senate where Dorin was waiting for him. Giving the location of the human assassin, Malek made his way towards the Coruscant Underworld with his jetpack. Without wasting a second upon his arrival, Malek saw his target in a bar and took aim right after entering, but not to gain suspicion, he kept his rifle at a low height. The human assassin who was named Kal Jan, was unaware of Malek, and was busy buying a drink. With one click of his hunter's rifle, Malek shot Kal in the back, piercing him through the front, and dropping his body dead on the counter. This caused screams from the females around him and everyone in the bar. Grabbing a smoke grenade, Malek activated it and left bar to then take flight and leave the Underworld without being caught. Malek then recieved his payment from the chancellor and then eft Coruscant to return to Zeno, which he would in less than a day. After his first bounty, for the next thirty years, Malek took on several bounties, for his own needs, and would use the credits for aiding Zeno, and helping the doctors in finding medical research. He would also give credits to those who were too poor, and gave them homes. By 289 ABY, Malek had taken more than six thousand bounties, the highest done by any bounty hunter in history in a certain amount of years. He then decided to settle down, and live in his new home on Coruscant, where he was finally able to fully place himself in his career as a Grand Magistrate, faithfully serving the Dark Legion Order.
Settling Down & New Career as Grand Magistrate (290-350 ABY)
"My bounty hunting and mercenary days are over. So are my warrior years. I will settle down and take up my new career. It has been a while since I was involved in politics."
"Well dad, I will continue serving the navy, and Boba continues being the lead instructor in training soldiers and other Mandalorians."
"Yes, we have made our own careers my daughter. Your mom would have wanted that. Rest her soul."
"Yes I know. One day, we will all be reunited. Also how's my second mom Deborrah."
"Yes. Now rest my daughter, you have done a lot of work. Tell Boba to rest as well. Also to answer your question, she's alright. She has been on numerous political missions, it is hard to catch up. But she should be home soon."
"Ok father."
-Malek and his daughter Mirta
Malek, Grand Magistrate of the Dark Legion Order.
Following his retirement as a bounty hunter and mercenary, Malek devoted his time as Grand Magistrate of the Dark Legion Order, faithfully serving alongside Ren Ion and other Zenolians as well. As the Grand Magistrate, Malek would be loved by his fellow Zenolians, and although, he no longer fought, Malek would not hesitate in being armed, for a matter of protection. For several years, Malek showed that serving in the Dark Legion Order would become of of his greatest assets. During his service to the order, Malek would begin to write a dairy, which would have significant dates, and important events that had occurred throughout his life. For the next fifty years, Malek served the Dark Legion Order as a Grand Magistrate, as he would permenantly reside on Zeno. Still, Malek took the time to visit Mandalore and decided to check on how things were going, since he was no longer Mand'alor. In the same year of 300 ABY, Malek's great-great-great-great-great grandson Koi Kriya was killed by a Mandalorian warrior, who desired power. Wanting not to involve himself in another battle, Malek sent his daughter to help Boba kill the Mandalorian. Gathering information he knew, Malek gave it to Boba, which he would use to find the Mandalorian who hid himself under groups of radical Mandalorian warriors. Sending Zeno Mandalorians with his children, Boba was successful in killing the new "Mand'alor", and would take the title himself in honor of Koi Kriya, who was his great-great-great grandson. With this, Malek's son was now Mand'alor and kept the alliance between Zeno and Mandalore strong.
Joining the Force Lords (351 ABY)
"I may be a Mandalorian, and not be a Jedi nor Sith, but I do have a strong command of the Force."
-Malek to an Unidentified Zenolian Force Lord
In the year of 351 ABY, after his Grand Magistrate career ended, Malek was given a request to join the Force Lords. Malek accepted the offer, but one Zenolian was rather skeptical, because he wondered how a Mandalorian could be apart of it. Malek would angrily reprimand the Zenolian Force Lord on his words, and would demonstrate his Zenolian abilities. Shocking the Zenolian, Malek proved to be one of the strongest Mandalorian/Zenolian Force Lords, under Ren Ion, who surpassed Malek. Malek would remain a member of the Force Lords until his death in 435 ABY, to which his unaltered clone, Kri'Uz, would contiue to serve it in his place, extending Malek's legacy. During this time, Malek lost his cybernetic legs after surprisingly regenerating himself new legs.
Of to Battle once More (351 ABY-360 ABY)
"I thought fighting was over for me. I was wrong, for war will not let me rest. Curse the Sith Empire."
-Malek upon his return to his warrior ways
Malek confronts several Sith Acolytes during the Umbaran Sith Uprising in 355 ABY.
Months after joining the Force Lords, Malek became involved in his first conflict, since the Imperial/Mandalorian Crisis. Recieving an urgent message from one of his Zeno Mandalorians, Malek discovered that on Umbara, the Sith Empire was rebuilding itself. Shocked, Malek asked how he was so sure, but before he could answer, the Zenolian was stabbed through the back from behind by two Sith Acolytes who requested Malek's appearance on the planet, for if he didn't come, his daughter would die, whom had gone missing two weeks prior to his ascension into the Force Lords. Heading into his ship the Xasha L1, Malek departed to the dark planet of Umbara, and landed a few clicks south of the ancient Sith Academy. Taking only his new crimson blade, Malek flew to the academy on his jetpack. Once he arrived, several acolytes came to greet him with lightsabers on, and to protect himself, Malek ignited his own. Wanting to kill him, one acolyte charged at Malek, who would respond with a blast of Zenolian Lightning (Kad'evor Lightning), sending him back to the entrance, and was killed on impact. Malek then charged on the Sith Acolytes and would kill them all, after engaging each one in a small duel. Forcing the academy's door open with a powerful Force blast, Malek entered the Sith's lair in the hopes of not only rescuing his daughter, but also to prevent the Sith Empire from coming back to the galaxy. Unbeknownst to Malek, most of the Sith warriors were Umbarans, as even the Sith Lord, Darth Oscuri would make his presence known, as he would firstly reveal himself to Malek. Removing his cloak, the Sith Lord revealed himself to be an Umbaran, who sought to have Malek killed, due to the recent attack on Umbara by Boba Kriya's Mandalorian army, after the Sith Lord had recently attacked a Mandalorian base. Holding his lightsaber in his hand, Malek would ask the Sith Lord on why hm, if he had nothing to do with it, and that Mandalorians don't have nothing to do with the Sith. Oscuri, would eventually ignore Malek's words, and would eventually try to Force Push him, but Malek countered it with his own Force Push, which was far more powerful than the Sith Lord's. Igniting his blade, Malek would use ignite his lightsaber as well, which was a newly built saber, similar to that of Darth Xhaltan's. Malek engaged in a small duel with the Sith Lord, including several Sith Acolytes, which he would kill with ease, except Oscuri who was able to escape with a minor injury. After this, Malek became involved in his first war, which was the Umbaran Sith Uprising, which wouldn't officially begin until 355 ABY, after four years of preparing and threats.
Umbaran Sith Uprising (355-360 ABY)
"I honestly thought my war days were over, but it seems war manages to find me anywhere I go."
"I can see that Malek. Go and defend your world. We will help you if needed."
-Malek and a Zenolian leader on his return to the war
Four years after meeting Darth Oscuri, Malek would fight in his first major war since the Second Mandalorian Civil War, which had occurred more than two hundred years ago, back when he was Mand'alor, although he did fight in five more wars following it, although they were minor wars that only lasted a few months or at least two years, but little information is known. The only known facts is that Malek and his armies were victorious in each of them. Having his son and daughter join him in battle once more, Malek would become Major General of the Zenolian Navy, just as his daughter had been for several years. Commanding the Zeno Mandalorians into battle for the first time in over two centuries, Malek would fight the Umbaran Sith Empire, which had recently been formed, as his skills had seemingly improved over time, instead of diminishing. During the war, Malek encountered several hardships and heart breaking losses, as, after one hundred years of separation, Malek met his cousin Nala Kriya, previously Nala Morak, during the time after the First Mandalorian Civil War, as around the time of the Death Watch. After meeting her again, Malek would fight alongside her for three years, until she was killed by a Sith warrior, who stabbed her instead of Malek. Using Force choke, Malek killed the warrior and then attended his dying cousin. With her final breath Nala stated that she glad to have had a cousin like Malek, for it was through him she discovered her Zenolian hertitage, and that he kept the Morak Clan alive. Embracing her, and Nala alike, she died in Malek's arms peacefully. Malek would hold a funeral for her two days later on Zeno, where he would bury her alongside his first wife Xasha Lazen. He then returned to his duties in the war a week later, and fought aggressively in the final year of the war, which would eventually make him suffer lesser casualties than the opposite of losing more.
Skirmish on Felucia (360 ABY)
"This ends now Darth Oscuri. You will pay for killing Zannar."
"Agreed Malek. Only one will rule."
-Malek and Darth Oscuri
Malek speaks to Zannar shortly before he is killed by Darth Oscuri.
Once the war intensified itself in it's final year, Malek knew that the time to meet Darth Oscuri once more was close. As victory was awarded to the Mandalorians, Malek stated that true victory would be declared once Darth Oscuri was defeated. As the final battle drew it's conclusion, Malek would head to Felucia to check on the recent Mandalorian base, that was under construction, with the help of the Felucians, who gladly decided to help Malek's injured men & women who were at the base. Once he landed, Malek met up with his youngest soldier, Zannar Larrak, whom he saw as a son, and was also a respectable Zenolian on both Zeno and Mandalorian for his contributions to both planets. Once on the planet, Malek asked for the well being of their soldiers, especially those who were critically injured. With the men
Malek draws his blasters on Sith warriors and Imperial droids as he chases Darth Oscuri through Felucia.
being the most severely wounded, and some of the women as well, Malek told Zannar to head to the Felucian forsest and recover a mushroom, which could help in the healing. After it was done, Malek told Zannar that he was needed on Concord Dawn, for they had lost three generals during an ambush. Agreeing to help out his brothers, Zannar accepted the mission and prepared to leave, but before he could, a shadowy figure jumped of from a ship and landed with a powerful shockwave, that sent both Malek and Zannar flying. Oscuri took the chance on a now injurd Zannar, unleashing his blade, the Sith Lord mortally stabbed Zannar in the chest, and abdomen with his second blade. Malek was knocked out by the blow after he was thrown into the wall of the base by the Force blast. Oscuri left before he was discovered, but Malek would awake in time to see him leave, and would quickly order the Mandalorians in the base to stay there and lock down all the doors and hatches, and have their defenses at high capacity. Taking a speeder, Malek chased the Sith Lord, whom he would quickly find through use of the Force. As he got closer, several Sith warriors and Imperial droids emerged from the forests and started shooting at Malek, as the warriors through their blades. Taking out his Warlord pistils (which he hadn't used in over one hundred years), Malek took aim at the droids and shot them down, as his speeder took over on autopilot.
Malek engages Darth Oscuri in their first and final duel on Felucia, just outside the Mandalorian base.
Focusing his aim, Malek was able to divert the red lightsabers back at the warriors, which were all on point in killing of the Sith. As more Sith and droids fell, Oscuri knew that Malek was willing to sacrifice himself for the Mandalorians and Zenolians. Agreeing to duel him, Malek used Force choke on the Sith Lord to pull him of his own speeder, and fling him high in the air. Jumping of his own speeder, Malek would viciously kick Oscuri, and amplifying his strength with the Force, which threw him all the way back to the base. Turning on his jetpack, Malek went to confront the Sith Lord in one final duel. Ignting their blades, the two clashed and began their duel. Using a skill of mostly martial arts, Malek was able to hold out a strong advantage on the Sith for most parts of the duel. As each escalated their power, Malek began to manipulate Oscuri's abilities, turning them against him. At the final moment. Malek used a power swipe to slap both of Oscuri's blades of his hands, and using telekinesis, Malek pulled Oscuri's blades toward the Sith Lord himself, and ignited them once they touched his back, Oscuri died on impact, and his body disappeared by a dark energy. With his death, the Umbaran Sith Crisis ended, and Mandalore was safe again. A funeral was later held for Zannar, which marked his bravery and near sacrificial choices throughout the war.
Mysterious Disappearance (371-375 ABY)
"Where is father? He just disappeared?"
"I don't know. I haven't seen him since about a month ago Mirta!"
"Have your best men search for him."
"You got it, sis."
"We need to find him as soon as possible. Be careful out there."
"Yes mother."
-Boba and Mirta begin to search for their father Malek through orders from Deborrah
Ten years later, Malek would unexpectedly disappear right after Deborrah's adopted daughter turned ten, and when Xasha turned four.
Malek draws his blade on the two last surviving clones.
Malek's disappearance would greatly shock his family and friends. All that was known is that he never returned from a mission on Concord Dawn. For the next twenty-nine years Malek's whereabouts would be unknown, as many began to believe had had died. However, Malek was alive, and had been captured by a crazy female Sith Lord name Darth Nala, who had become obsessed with the Mandalorian, and wanted to clone him. The Sith Lord was successful in cloning Malek, but her biggest success would be Phantos. Phantos would become the "perfect" clone of Malek, but instead, he was a dark, cold-hearted, sadistic and malicious being who only sought to kill Malek. There were six other clones of Malek, whom Nala had created. Their names were Eagle, Jet, Krett, Dev, Misael, and Tron. During that time, Malek had been put into a bacta tank, and under a deep sleep. He would be held captive in the cloning facility of an uncharted planet. The clones took little time to form, but since each were born into what would be a fourteen year old Malek, Nala trained all of them in the dark side of the Force. At one point, Malek woke up, and much to his surprise, he saw the six clones (except Phantos, who was hiding), who looked down at him and began questioning what would be done with him. Nala then ordered the six clones to release him from the bacta tank. Once it was done, Malek quickly got up to his feet, after quickly regaining his strength, and saw the reason as to why he had been captured. Since his weapons had been taken away from him, Nala would order the clones to kill him, but seeing on

how his weapons were in a case, Malek, using his gauntlet, shot the case, and used his Zenolain powers to break the case. He retrieved his weapons and unleashed his blades and attacked the clones. Killing of five of them, Malek Force pushed Misael towards a wall, and crashing into Phantos, who was on the other side. Using his Kad-evor Lightning, Malek struck the catwalk on which Nala stood, and caused it to collapse, making her fall to her death. Running, Malek noticed that two clones were alive, and they were Phantos & Misael. Igniting his Crimson blade, Malek deflected each shot, and used his jetpack to quickly escape the now-seen cloning facility/temple. Once he got out, he noticed his ship just outside the facility. Still chasing him, Misael shot at Malek several times, as Phantos did the same, but then stopped. Escaping, Malek sent a distress signal to Zeno, which would not be answered, because the signal was then revealed to being jammed and blocked.
Return to the galaxy & Zeno (400 ABY)
"Father, we thought you were dead."
"It's gonna take more than one female Sith Lord to get rid of me son, even clones."
"That doesn't matter, what matters is that you are alive. Mirta, Xasha and Deborrah (Ailyn) missed you. Your wife, my stepmom has greatly missed you."
"I know, they may be grown up, but looks like a daughter needs her father, even the son needs him."
"We always need you father. If it wasn't for you, neither I or Mirta would be alive, or would have fallen in love again, if you or mom had not insisted on saying that our first love is always with us, and that love would help us. That same thing helped you find Deborrah. You have helped us many times father, now it's time we helped you."
-Malek and his son on Korda 6
Boba Kriya cradles his critically injured father Malek, after finding him on Korda 6.
Although he escaped, Misael and Phantos did not give up on their chase for Malek. Chasing him all the way to Korda 6, Malek's ship would be shot down, making him crash on the planet, which was currently fighting a war. Once he exited his ship, before it blew up, Malek noticed his son Boba in the distance, fighting alongside four female Mandalorians. Once he got closer, Malek noticed it to be his wife Deborrah, and his daughters Mirta, Xasha and Alli. As he tried to call for them, Misael and Phantos, from above tackled Malek and sent him flying towards a hill. As he struggled to get up, Malek was shot twelve times in the abdomen, and would stumble to the ground. Boba would eventually hear the shots from afar, as so would his warriors and the enemy. All they saw was two men dressed up in similar armor to Malek, shooting their template two more times and take of. Mirta quickly felt her father's presence and told Boba to rush to him, for it was their father. Upon hearing this Deborrah, Xasha Kriya, and Alli rushed towards Boba and Mirta who went to Malek's location on a small hill. Grabbing his father's hand, and lifting him up by his head, Boba told him he would be alright. Malek who was weakened by the shots said it would be best for him to die, much to the complaints of Xasha and Alli. Angered at this, Boba shouted at Malek telling him he needed help, and he would help him, just like he and his first mom did hundreds of years ago when they were younger. Agreeing to receive help, Boba and Mirta took their father to a infirmary, after ordering a retreat. For the next two years, Malek spent his time in the infirmary healing himself, and was able to spend some time with his daughters after years of separation. To his surprise, they said it wasn't his fault, for he was doing his job as Grand Admiral. Ailyn also told Malek, that once he recovered, she looked for some time with him, which he agreed to with a laugh, and she the same. During his recovery, Malek's leg had previously regenerated when inside the bacta tank for more than twenty years, but do to the injury on Korda 6, Malek recieved prosthetic legs, to which were later modified to look like his boots. It gave Malek an advantage in war, when it would be believed he was injured he would be able to walk still, because his new prosthetic legs were blaster-proof and shock proof.
Sith Wars (402 ABY-412 ABY)
"My skills are as sharp as ever. Being locked up did nothing."
"True father, but right now I the best shooter in the army and family."
"Hoho, are you questioning my abilities?"
"Maybe father, but let's see."
"Ok (several blasts fired)."
"Heh, even now, you are still better than me."
"It will take more than some Sith Lord and clones to weaken my abilities."
"Men today. You two have not changed. Mostly you father."
"I know Mirta, but that has to be good."
"In this case, I am willing to make an exception dad. My abilities are also has sharp as ever, but you continue to be the best. (laughs)."
"That's why I love you my daughter."
'(Laughing) Men, and women. hat's why I love you all."
-Malek, Deborrah, Mirta, and Boba on their abilities
Two years after his return, and following his recovery, Malek was welcomed to a public audience with the Zenolian Army, in a speech to the people of Zeno. Recieiving his Mandalorian armor, Malek said he would lead the Zenolian Army and Zeno Mandalorians once more as Grand Admiral, and make sure Zeno would be fully protected, including Mandalore. Cheered by the people of Zeno, Malek donned on his regular armor once more, and raised his right arm showing his loyalty. At that moment, Misael, who was hiding in the distant launched a missle at him. Sensing the object on his HUD, Malek threw his darksaber at it, and destroyed it right before it came any closer, and luckily no one was harmed. Angered, Misael charged at Malek with his jetpack and crashed himself into him, lifted him in the air, and threw him on the roof of the nearby base. Engaging him in a small fight, Malek would visciously attack Misael, battering him away, as even would kick of the roof, making him fall to his death. Looking down, Malek knew that Misael's attack had a reason, to which now threatened Mandalore. For the next decade, Malek would fight in one of the biggest Sith wars in galactic history. Without even knowing, the Sith were once more gathering power in their newly formed Empire, after removing the Fifth Galactic Republic from power, and would set their eyes on the Mandalorians. Leading his Zenolian Mandalorians once more, Malek clashed with the Sith's droid armies, with both sides suffering heavy casualties. In less than five years, Malek's losses with less than half of what Phantos had predicted and expected. Because of his strategic skills and overwhelming tactics on the battlefield, Zeno and Mandalore held a strong advantage for six years, until it started becoming a stalemate several times. Malek's untimely death at the hands of Phantos in 412 ABY, almost cost the Mandalorians the war, until Phantos was killed by Malek's unaltered clone Falcon.
Death of Phantos (412 ABY)
"I may die, but your end will come soon Phantos. You can count on it."
"W-w-what are you talking about? ANSWER ME!" Ugh, I should have thought twice before slashing him in the abdomen, I should have let him live, then I should have killed him. Why did I have to think to much ahead?"
"Because your an idiot Phantos."
-Malek "dies" shortly after telling Phantos of his future "death"
In 412 ABY, the war had reached it's peak.
Malek duels his clone on Dathomir, during the Sixth Battle of Dathomir.
When leading his batallion on Dathomir, he was attacked by Phantos' droid army. Noticing each other, Malek gave command to his second-in-command Jorak and flew of to an ancient arena to face Phantos in a fateful duel. Igniting their blades, the two fought within the Crucible, and unleashed fate and anger within their attacks. Having no respect for each other, both set their lives on the line and began using the environment for their abilities. Matched in Zenolian abilities, they amplified it to their super strength, which just ended destroying most of the arena. Holding most of the advantage, Malek did not count on winning, but finding a way to get Phantos to destroy himself, instead of him killing him. However, since Malek had been placed inside a bacta tank, he gained the multiple personalities of all clones, to which he himself had, except, it was different on how each controlled it. Suffering through hallucinations, Phantos took advantage and stabbed Malek through the abdomen, fatally wounding him. As he died, Malek told Phantos of his upcoming death, leaving him questioned. Malek then died, but quickly returned as a spirit to only call Phantos an idiot. He then departed, leaving Phantos to agree with the unexpected remark. A week later, Malek remeraged and appeared before Phantos and kiled him with a blaster shot to the abdomen. When asking how he survived, Malek reaffrimed that he faked that he was killed, for he stabbed a holographic image.
Legacy
"Life has a way of shaping things doesn't it?"
"What do you mean Malek."
"My dear Deborrah, life has changed in the past three thousand years, and I have lived it all as a bounty hunter, mercenary, assassin and as Mand'alor. I don't regret it all. I was grateful to have met you, but now I must retire to my homeworld of Zeno."
"I will come with you my dear. Wherever you go, I go. I want to stay by your side forever, in this life, and the next."
-Malek and his wife Deborrah
Malek left a profound and permanent mark on Mandalorian history and established a powerful legacy. Being recognized as one of the most powerful Zenolians, and most skilled Mandalorian, Malek was also amongst the most respected Mand'alor to ever live in galactic history by allies and enemies alike (not counting the Death Watch). Malek was seen as the main founder and leader of the Zeno Mandalorians, which was what helped shape a strong and permanent alliance between Zeno and Mandalore, which also helped Malek create the Mandalorian Empire. Malek himself was seen in high regard by the Galactic Republic, as they built a statue in his homeage after he helped them from a resurging Sith Empire just a decade after forming his empire. Malek himself also returned the original Mandorlian ways to his empire and created the largest Mandalorian army in history, thus making his empire the most feared and powerful throughout the galaxy.
Personality and Traits
"If there is one thing you should know senator, I should tell you now."
"What is it?"
"If my contractor fails to pay me, I won't hesitate to shoot. You are playing a dangerous game hiring me Senator Firin."
"I know, but you are the best."
"I know (blasts fired). That's why I killed you. You were my target and you failed me before."
-Malek to Senator Firin
Malek was a driven, brave, confident, strong, and intelligent warrior. He was also a deadly assassin.
Malek Kriya was a cold, remorseless, cunning, sadistic, manipulative, and malicious individual. A strong, brave, confident and talented soldier, Malek always did what he could in becoming one of the best bounty hunters ever. A being classified as pure cruelty incarnate. Malek stated that he himself was not cruel, and that he was paid to do cruel things, which he took joy and pleasure in it. He was also extremely sarcastic, and enjoyed toying with is enemies. Malek was also highly intelligent and a incredible strategist and an expert in battle tactics, in which he was able to figure out the Death Watch's plans ahead of time, and knew how to counter several of their ambushes. This made Malek a very deadly and dangerous adversary while on the battlefield. Even when reborn as a clone, Malek kept the same traits that the orginal Malek had, being equally cold, cunning, sadistic, manipulative, remorseless and malicious. However, the clone adopted a much more kinder side, a side he always kept hidden. Also, Malek was a very direct individual, always going to the point at hand and never straying away from the subject. These traits were the same when he alive for the first time, and when reborn as a clone.
He was also a man who had a really strong form of loyalty. Having full loyalty to the Mandalorian Guild and it's leader Beviin Kabur, where they honored the True Mandalorians. A strong believer of the Mandalorian faith, Malek also believed that the Death Watch were disgracing on what it meant to be a Mandalorian. Aside from this, Malek proved to be extremely manipulative in persuading Vizsla to let him join the Death Watch, as Malek's true identity was unaware to the Death Watch leader for five years, and thus was never discovered. His manipulation proved most useful when he saved Xasha from a crazy Mandalorian assassin in 20 BBY, and when he prevented an enemy of the Mandalorian Guild from attacking them, acting as one of their own, Malek would later kill the Mandalorian once revealed that his allegiance was with the
Malek's first wife Xasha Lazen.
guild. When working as a bounty hunter, Malek would often act ruthless and cold, which was seen when he would threaten several senators who would fail to pay him in time.
"Mhi solus tome, mhi solus dar'tome, mhi me'dinui an, mhi ba'juri verde."(We are one when together. we are one when parted. We will share all. We will raise warriors)
-Malek and Xasha during their wedding on Concord Dawn in 21 BBY
Aside from his original traits, Malek also had a calm side, which was seen mostly with his clan, his wife Xasha Lazen, later his second wife Deborrah, and his children. Despite his hate for the Death Watch, Malek surprisingly developed a friendship with Bo-Katan Kryze, and his wife Xasha alike. However, ten years later, Malek and Xasha revealed their true nature to Bo-Katan, implying that their friendship was a plan they devised while infiltrating the Death Watch. Angered, Bo-Katan pulled out her pistols, but was instantly shot by Xasha, killing her, and almost destroying the Death Watch.
When Malek's first wife Xasha died in 5 ABY, he fell into a deep well of depression, knowing he had lost the one woman he loved, and the only who was able to keep him clam, since he was prone to anger. Around a decade later, Malek met another female Zenolian name Deborrah, whom he saved from a broken down ship that was floating in space. After that. the two fell in love and would get married five years later. Giving birth to three children, each named Xasha Kriya, Fiona Kriya, and Zacyt Kriya, Malek found out that his love for Xasha helped him love again.
Although most of Malek's traits were based upon cruelty, he was one who loved his family and would defend them, as would evn risk his life for them. He showed a great amount of love and care for his parents, children and wife. His care for his children was msotly seen with his daughter, which occurred when he killed Rien Rikan, after the Rikan Clan leader used Mirta as a dance slave for enterta
Malek's son Boba Kriya.
inment for almost two months. Malek was extremely devoted to his family, and training the later descendants. When arriving on Zeno in 41 ABY, the second child of Malek's daughter married a Zenolian, which led to the creation of the Zeno Mandalorian army, and several squads. Because of this, after the Kriya clan was almost wiped out at the hands of Darth Caedus, the clan was recreated, and expanded, including the Lazen Clan, which was reformed by the second son of his grandson, who was devastated upon witnessing the death of one final Lazen member, when he was just child, which left Xasha Lazen, and her cousin as the sole survivors. By this, the following generations of both the Kriyans and Lazen were fully Zenolians. Malek even proved to be a great leader, which was seen when he became Mand'alorand held it for more than one hundred years. His leadership allowed Mandalore to prosper to better world, achieving many technological advances, increased protection, and allies. He was mostly loved by all the people of Mandalore, where after he gave his title to Koi Kriya, he was still treated with respect and high guard.
Malek also had
Malek's daughter Mirta Miranda Kriya.
a strong sense of justice, moral obligation, and adhered to his own code of honor. He took only certain bounties that agreed with his own beliefs and brutal justice. But to those few, he whole-heartedly devoted all of his magnificent skill should the occasion call for it. This led him to believe in a quick, clean kill. Malek was also an expert marksman and had access to considerable weaponry. Despite having this high-tech arsenal, he was not dependent on it. He also believed that the best weapon was not often the best choice, for there would be no point in thinking that a favorite weapon would always protect one or bring victory.
However, since he was later a clone, Malek believed his family would be disgusted or angry that he was not the orginal Malek. He ended up discovering that they didn't care that he was a clone, and that they (children) were proud of calling him father, as Deborrah was happy in calling him her husband.
A deadly adversary
"Your a cruel man Malek Kriya?"
"That all depends on how you look at it. Being cruel has many meanings, uses and words of interpretation."
-Malek and an unidentified senator
Malek reputation as a bounty hunter made him the one of the most recognizable Mandalorian hunter in history.
A master and deadly bounty hunter, Malek believed that the key to success was preparation and weakening your opponents mentally, physically, and emotionally. Although Malek would not confide in brute force alone, or if the occasion called for it. Never planning ahead, he worried little on confronations that would occurr if he ever met with a little difficulty on a mission, and decided to make the best of the current situation by killing of everyone, even if they were not part of the bounty. Whenever meeting a strong opponent, Malek found the key to their weakness by their overconfidence or stubbornness, but always took the note on how one cared for one another. He added restrictions towards his actions and had limits on how he would do the job, which always led to a clean and perfect kill, and would always use stealth in order to complete anything.
Malek also had little trust in the senators who contracted him for a bounty, even when they lended him their starships, to which he would always wipe clean the navigational computer's data, and any evidence that he used. When betrayed by his Separatists or Republic contractors, he would often kill them, or injure them in ways that if he let them live, they would vow never to betray him again, and would trust him to complete a task without failure. Much to the surprise of others, malek never accepted a bounty on a Jedi because he found it a waste of time, though he stated that he had killed several Jedi before, to which he would never make a comment on. Still, Malek's bounty hunter reputation increased during the time of the Galactic Empire, where he decided to take bounties on Jedi, for it would offer him a high payment, and would take joy in killing most of them. Also just like Cad Bane, Malek would always analyze his enemies and opponents to give him the advantage, which would always work without fail.
A deadly assassin
"My job is simple. To dispose of those I am either ordered to do, paid to do, or for my own benefit."
-Malek Kriya
Malek kills Rien Rikan, after the Rikan Clan leader forced his daughter Mirta "Miranda" Kriya to be used as a slave dancer for entertainment.
At the age of 17, Malek began a career as an assassin, which contributed to that of his bounty hunter life. Malek's assassin career mostly centralized on enemies of both the Kriya Clan and Lazen Clan. Later, it would involve enemies of the Mandalorian Guild. When as an assassin, Malek would often become silent, letting his blasters do the talking in assignments. Whenever taking up offers for assassinating a specific target, he would have his personal droid do the talking for him. This would often reflect his cold and malicious side, which he had adopted after his parents and the entire Morak Clan had been killed. Still, he would sometimes speak, but would be very few. He was characterized as a shadow figure flying through the night, and was dubbed as the Black Terror on Coruscant, and the Silent Keeper by the Separatists. He would even go the the extent of killing notable Separatists leaders when he worked for them, that was unknown to them and the Death Watch. When questioned on his actions, he would say he did it for his own personal reasons.
Maleks assassin personality remained the same even when he is children were born, but he would remain as a calm man towards his children. He would mostly confront his targets and kill them face to face, but would grant them peace, much to their pleas, and because he wished to do so. Malek's assassin career became more noticeable by the final year of the Clone Wars when working as Jabba the Hutt's personal bounty hunter and assassin. He never minded working two careers at once because he stated it gave him more of what he wanted, which he had done when infiltrating the Death Watch. In 1 BBY, his most known kill was when he killed Rien Rikan under orders from his daughter and wife, after they asked him prior to his landing on Concordia.
Relationships
Shae Vizsla
"You are an incredible man Malek. I'm glad I met you and got to work with you."
"Thank you Shae. Same to you as well."
-Malek and Shae after the latter decided to continue his work as a mercenary group again
Shae Vizsla was a close friend and companion of Malek Kriya, the two first met two months prior to the Sacking of Coruscant. Gaining full trust and respect for one another, the two worked together several times for the Empire, as Malek also granted Shae leadership of his clan, as second-in-command, to which the Kriyans gained a strong respect for her, and vowed that they would please her as well. As time passed, the two Mandalorians grew closer together, even hinting that there may have been a romantic relationship between the two. but no evidence has proven it since the two were extremely secretive. However, two hundreds years after the Cold War, evidence showed that Malek and Shae were involved romantically, and were in a relationship that lasted the same amount of time as their service with the Empire. Malek and Shae conceived a daughter, who was named Shae Kriya. In 322 ABY, a week after Malek was reborn as a clone, he encountered his daughter Shae Kriya. Upon meeting, Shae said that she was grateful for the happiness he gave her mother, for she always said that he (Malek) was the only man she loved, and that although she didn't know him, she was still glad to call him father, and would look to patch up all the lost time, to which Malek agreed.
Xasha Lazen
"The most beautiful woman I have ever met. She is my wife, but don't let her nice features fool you. She may be calm, but pull the wrong cord, and she becomes your worst nightmare."
-Malek on his wife's personality
Deborrah
Pre Vizsla
"To be true, Kaysh mirsh solus. I hate him. He is no verd."
-Malek on Pre Vizsla
The leader of the Mandalorian splinter group named the Death Watch. Malek himself had a strong and deadly hate for Pre Vizsla, leading to the point of where Malek picked up the Death Watch leader from his neck and lifted him up in the air, after Vizsla offended Malek's Zenolian heritage. Malek, however, had very few interactions with Vizsla, mostly keeping to himself while infiltrating the Death Watch. The only times Malek spoke with Vizsla was during small conferences, accepting missions, when with Bo-Katan, and during the missions to Mustafar, Nal Hutta, and Tatooine, when Death Watch allied themselves with Darth Maul to takeover the planet of Mandalore. Malek last spoke to Vizsla prior to the Death Watch leader's death at the hands of Maul.
Bo-Katan
"Your a good warrior Malek. Keep that spirit with you."
"I always do Bo-Katan. As for you. keep doing what is right. Fight for Mandalore."
"As you wish Malek."
-Malek and Bo-Katan
Respected warriors of the Death Watch, Malek and Bo-Katan evolved to be one of the best Mandalorians within the splinter group. Over time, as the two worked as comrades, Malek and Bo developed a friend-like relationship. The two worked well together, despite Malek's deep hatred for Pre Vizsla. During the battle of Sundari, alongside his wife, Malek fought with Bo-Katan in removing Maul from power, which would be done by Darth Sidious, as was unaware to them. However, Malek would leave Bo-Katan during the midst of battle asking Xasha Lazen to take care of her when the time was right. Almost a decade later, Bo-Katan met up with Malek and Xasha. Thanking the two for their help, and that she wasn't upset on why they left. Not saying anything, Malek looked at Xasha who would quickly take out a pistol and shoot Bo in the head and chest four times.

Languages Spoken
"It pays to know many dialects and languages. It just may save you."
-Malek Kriya
Malek knew several languages, and had learned a lot throughout his life. Malek's primary language was Mando'a which he learned from his parents and adopted parents. Later on, in his teenage years, Malek learned several other dialects, and the main one was Concordian. Other known languages were Huttese, Ithorese, Genosian, Catharese, Kreva, Twi'leki, Kaminoan, and several others.

automatically for low or high light conditions, picked up on minute sounds and amplified them and could connect with the onboard computer of Revenant, assuming the transmission wasn't being jammed. The helmet also had the capability of sealing to compensate for pressure changes, and holding 5 to 10 minutes of air, though damage may have disabled this feature at some point in the Clone Wars.
Malek can also control weapons, sensors, and his jet pack with verbal commands. His helmet's HUD (head-up-display) featured information on the surrounding environment as well as a 360-degree field of vision. The HUD's data streams could be controlled by eye movements and blinking. In addition, an advanced penetrating radar allowed his HUD to provide information on nearby rooms, and can be used to scan the HoloNet and connect with databases, allowing him to perform tasks which would normally require a computer terminal, such as searching databases for individuals or even trading on the stock market and buying real estate, from anywhere that was accessible through the HoloNet. The macrobinocular viewplate can be magnified to allow Malek to see great distances, and was equipped with, among other things, an infrared scanner that could be magnified up to 50 times. The infrared scanner magnified light up to 100 times or displayed heat gradations.
The helmet's broad band antenna is capable of intercepting and unscrambling comlink and starship comm transmissions. Also, with assistance from his ships computer, jamming transmissions or sending fake transmissions, even while not in his ship. At the top of the antenna was a rangefinder capable of tracking up to 30 targets from a distance of 100 meters. The rangefinder fed data to a display overlay inside the helmet showing range and movement for targets in a 360 degree radius. The overlay also linked to Malek's weapons systems to display fire vector and range data. The rangefinder can be deployed horizontally or vertically.
The environmental filter system can filter out poisons and contaminants as well as provide Malek with a two hour reserve air tank.
Armour/clothing
Malek's Mandalorian armor was originally constructed from duroplast, allowing it to sustain a great deal of damage

without degrading. His armor also has two shoulder pads which were black, like his kneepads. The left shoulder pad exhibited the Mandalorian skull logo, while his right chest plate displayed an emblem of unknown origin. Malek wore several Mandalorian armors throughout his life, but all consisted of the same material. Malek's armor was also able to resist lightsaber attacks.
Malek wears a power armor liner. This liner shirt has a micro energy field projector and two layers of thin ceramic plates, in order to disperse physical and blast impacts, reducing injuries and likelihood of knockdowns. The power liner also gives him increased protection from fire, acid, intense heat, and cold. His main clothing is a reinforced armor mesh battle/flight suit. The inner lining of the suit blocked poisons and corrosives for a period of time. This suit has pockets on his hips and thighs (one on each side).
Malek wears a leather utility belt that has ten leather pouches. Below this he wears a Journeyman Protector honor sash. Attached to his right shoulder is three braided Wookiee scalps. The battle/flight suit has pockets on his shins which contained an anti-security blade, a survival knife, a jet-pack adjustment tool, and a sonic-beam weapon. Malek also wears spats around his ankles to help prevent debris from going into his boots. They are

smaller than standard spats, they are made of a light colored cloth and attached behind the ankle as opposed to under the boot.
Malek wears a pair of versatile boots that has two spikes attached to the front of each. The most known armors worn by Malek were the Death Watch Armor (both the soldier and lieutent armor), Nite Owl armor (modified for male), Mandalorian super commando armor, Red Kriyan armor, Green Kriyan Leader Armor, and later his own refurbished Black Mandalorian armor. Folowing his time with the Galactic Empire, Mlek constructed durasteel armor only to later recontruct it with Beskar.
Jetpack
Malek wore a MitrinomonZ-6 jetpack, which was seen on all of his armors, but each were styled in different ways

and sizes. The fuel tank was able to hold enough fuel to give him three 20-second blasts, 20 three-second blasts or one minute of continuous operation. Every three second blast moved Malek up to 100 meters horizontally or 7 meters vertically. Fett could reach a top speed of 145 kilometers per hour with a maximum range of two kilometers. Directional thrusters featured gyro-stabilizers to apply counter-thrust for maneuvering and landing.The top of his jetpack consisted of three long-range missles, that could reach targets up to almost 30 feet away, as even it contained a turbo-projected magnetic grappling hook with 20-meter lanyard (replaceable with 100 meters). This was however replaceable with his anti-veicle homing missles that he used when attacking multiple targets, whowere either speeidng away, or were chasing him. Malek was also known for creating his own Mitrinomon Z-6 jetpacks, that always worked without fail, and were also made with an anti-magnetic material that kept him from being puled by magnetic field, giving him an advantage in flight, as to even fly faster. Malek was also mostly known for having several similarities in equipment,to that of which Boba Fett himself had. This caused the two to often be compared, but the two always cleared out that they were different in many ways.
Arsenal/Weaponry
"The amount of weapons I have means nothing unless you have a brain on how to use them properly."
-Malek Kriya
Malek with his two Darksabers. The left darksaber belonged to Pre Vizsla, as thr right darksaber was his self-built and customized blade.
Malek had a variety of weapons that he used when either working as a bounty hunter or assassin. His primary weapon during the early years of his life was a typical type of Mandalorianblaster, a blaster carbine, two WESTAR-35 blaster pistols, and two Jedilightsabers, both consisted of blue-synthetic crystals. However, once Malek began his career as an assassin and bounty hunter, Malek's primary weapons of choice were either a Adventuer slugthrower rifle or a X-45 sniper rifle, which he shot with incredible and deadly accuracy. Malek had several sniper rifles, of which he made himself, which proved to be far better in shooting range, and had better magnifying scopes, also accuracy, than those he bought. Also, Malek had two Warlord pistols, which were his signature weapons in close kills, or when he wanted to kill his target in point blank range. Although he was not a Jedi, Malek knew how to perfectly wield a lightsaber, as he even knew quite a few styles, and such were the Jar'Kai, Soresu, and the Makashi. This would shock several members of the Jedi Order, and such were Shaak Ti, Luminara Unduli, Yoda, and several more. It was more shocking when he was able to defeat Jedi KnightAnakin Skywalker, and Jedi Padawan Ahsoka Tano single handedly, despite the Jedi's advantages with the Force, without relying on a blade. During this time, Malek had kept his Zenolian heritage to the Jedi a
Pre Vizsla's Darksaber came into Malek's possession a year after his death. It became Malek's second Darksaber as his primary weapon choice in lightsaber combat.
secret. When working for the Jedi, Malek gained an interest in sparring with several Jedi Masters of the order. His most common victories in a sparring match was against Luminara Unduli, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Mace Windu, and surpringly, Shaak Ti, who was labeled as one of the most powerful masters of the Jedi Order. Almost a year after the death of Pre Vizsla, the former Death Watch leader had lost his Darksaber to the Sith Lord Darth Maul during their duel. However the Sith Lord lost it after he was defeated by his former master Darth Sidious, which also attributed to the death of his brother Savage Opress at the hands of the Dark Lord of the Sith, in which the darksaber would later come into Malek's possession, which he donned as his own after finding it. After using cutting-edge technology, Malek revealed that he had built a Darksaber, years

prior to joining the Death Watch. His first Darksaber was seen during his mission on Carlac. Malek would still continue to use the Jedi lightsabers he had, until he gave one each to his son and daughter when they were both teenagers. However, in 267 ABY, Malek lost Pre Vizsla's darksaber during a duel with Darth Xhaltan, after it was blown away from his hand by a strong blow, shattering upon impact. However it was quickly replaced with the Sith Lord's own lightsaber after Malek killed him by using his Zenolian power Kad'evor lightning, that sent Xhaltan plummeting to his death fifty feet to the floor, during which Malek pulled the lightsaber towards him and donned it his own. However, a few years after taking it as his own blade, Malek banned and destroyed the crimson blade after it's dark energy began to consume him from inside. After doing so, the dark energy within his body left. At some point Malek rebuilt two new darksabers and gave his personal blade to his daughter. One was named the Phrik Darksaber and the second was a rare light-brown colored darksaber that was named the Dolovite Darksaber.
Malek with his Shadow Tech rifle.
As the Clone Wars took it's toll on the galaxy, Malek added several features to his Mandalorian armor and added more weapons to his arsenal. By 21 BBY, one of Malek's new weapon of choice was the EE-3 Carbine Rifle, which was seen by the time of the Takeover of Mandalore. His first added weapon was a self-customized blaster pistol, given to him by a female member of his clan, that bared similar resemblance to the same pistol his father Dir Kriya had. His second sidearm was a concussion grenade launcher, given to him by Boba Fett, after the latter encountered him prior to the dissolution of the Mandalorian Guild. Since Malek was unable to equip both at the same time, he used one at a time, but was able to switch quickly and choose targets faster than usual.
His wrist gauntlets also became a mounting point for many weapons. His right gauntlet had a CzerkaZX miniature flame projector that a cone of fire five meters long and a meter in diameter. The flamethrower had a corded fuel line connecting to a backpack canister holding fuel for at least three minutes of operation. On his left gauntlet, Malek equipped a Dur-24 wrist laser that had a range of more than 50 meters. After being exposed,

Malek added a protective shield that not only enclosed, but also concealed both weapons. Just like Boba Fett in his later years, Malek carried a Kelvarex Consolidated ArmsMM9 mini concussion rocket, which utilized computer target tracking, however, he carried it on his right gauntlet. Several of Malek's weapons were similar to that of Boba Fett, as some of the most common were Type-12A anti-personnel rockets, Type-12B stun rockets, and 1126 rockets. HIs left gauntlet also had fibercord whip that had a grappling hok at the end, which was 20 meters long, which was used to entangle and immobilize a target. It also held retractable vibro-blades and a dart launcher. One of Malek's other weapons as a Shadow Tech Rifle.
Vehicles
Talents and Abilities
"Guns alone will not save you. You need to know how to fight when the occasion calls for it."
Malek Kriya to the newly reformed Kriya Clan
Although not a Jedi, Malek was skilled in the art of lightsaber combat.
Malek was a highly skilled and fierce warrior. Trained in the Mandalorian ways, Malek evovled to be one of the strongest Mandalorian warriors in galactic history. A master at martial arts, Malek made use of his combat skills whenever he disarmed his opponents, and would make quick work of them. Besides this, Malek was also an adept lightsaber duelist, in which he could even best the Jedi. Malek's known lightsaber styles were Shien-style reverse grip variant of Form V, the Jar'Kai, Makashi and the Ataru. Malek mostly learned by himself, but he did receive several training sessions from his parents and adopted parents. Malek was also able to dual wield a blaster and lightsaber at the same time granting him an advantage against his enemies, as also a formidable opponent in close combat. He also skilled in using a jetpack, and could even disable an enemy's jetpack in mid-flight. When flying, Malek could easily dodge blaster shots from his attackers, and could even focus his aim on shooting in mid-flight.
"Incredible. I expected the Jedi to be stronger in the Force. Yet not even Yoda or Anakin Skywalker could sense my abilities."
-Malek on his Zenolian powers, stating on how the Jedi could not sense his abilities
Malek demonstrating his Zenolian power of Kad'evor Lightning.
Since he was a Zenolian, Malek also knew how to use the Force. After his powers were awakened between the years of 22 BBY and 21 BBY, Malek made use of his abilities, but never used it against the Jedi, thus was able to hide the presence of his powers. As the years passed, Malek's Zenolian abilities became more powerful, including that of his wife. However, Malek had problems controlling it various times, and deciding he needed help, Malek went in search of Zeno where he met Ren Ion. Through Ren Ion's teachings, Malek learned on how to properly use, control and even wield his powers. After this, Malek fully mastered his powers, including his entire family alike, which included his wife's side of the family as well. Just like the Sith, Malek knew a certain type of Force Lightning ability, except it was named Kad'evor Lightning, dubbing it means, Devouring Lightning. Also because of his Zenolian blood, he was able to see in the dark 25x more clearly than humans, 15x clearer than a human with 20-20 vision. Just like the Zabrak species, Malek also had two hearts, which was a Zenolian feature that left many other species confused. He also had the ability to speak telepathically, one that he had accomplished to master alone. Since Malek himself was Force-sensitive, he was first believed to be a Jedi who gave up on the path of the light, and chose the path of a Mandalorian. However, Malek was able to prove that because he was a Zenolian, he was able to wield the Force to a high enough potential, since Zenolians were amongst one of the most powerful Force-sensitives, and had really high midi-chlorian count. One historian stated that if Malek had decided, he would become one of the most powerful Jedi in history, but instead went down as a legendary Force user and lightsaber duelist. Malek was able to use many abilities of the Force, being both the light side and dark side. Although Malek was reborn as a clone ten years after his death, the clone was stronger in his Zenolian abilities, reached up to double times the power than the original, which was the reason as to why he rarely use it, due to the fear of hurting his own clan or his wife and children.
Combat Skills
" (through a holo-transmission) I hear he's a man who has no boundaries. He's a good fighter and always wins, never loses. His fighting skills are unmatched, and I also heard he took out a batallion of Republic troops alone, without any help. That's why the Sith hired him. Yet, I think he's a coward."
" (overhears and enters room) You should watch what you say soldier. But all i can say is, let his punches and kicks do the talking, soldier."
"(Malek enters the room cracking knuckles and his neck with an angry look) Awww man. (punches and kicks land)"
" (laughing) Wow Malek! You are truly the best"
"Why thank you Shae. I get that alot."
-Shae Vizla and a Mandalorian warrior, shortly before Malek knocks him out cold
Malek was a very powerful and capable Mandalorian, perhaps one of the best in the galaxy and galactic history. During his time with the Sith Empire, Malek was held in high regard, along with Shae Vizsla. Malek has displayed the ability to take out multiple foes at once with martial arts alone, which he demonstrated against several Republic troopers during several battles throughout the Cold War and against numerous Death Watch soldiers during the Mandalorian Civil War, without even taking a hit. Even as a child, Malek was a capable martial artist and was able to defeat his master and fellow students in a ten-on-one sparring match, and surprisingly, Malek was only ten years old. He displayed an impressive level of physical strength, durability, stamina, and athleticism. He fought through multiple radical Mandalorian warrior groups during the Cold War, Second Great Galactic War, and the New Sith Wars where he one point single handedly took out half a platoon, relying completely on martial arts. Although his martial arts skills were legendary, he was unable to beat some members of the Mandalorian Guild, and one was Mirta Brokar. Still, Malek kept his rank as one of the best Mandalorian warriors to ever live. He was even to able fight a Yuuzhan Vong warrior after having two knives stabbed into his abdomen, fighting as if he hadn't even been injured. When working with Shae Vizsla, Malek demonstrated his skills when on bounties with her, to which she found entertaining, and was often amazed by Malek himself. Malek's most known use at one point was when he knocked a Mandalorian warrior out cold, who was talking to another Mandalorian. Shae Vizsla overheard the conversation and told him that he should have been careful on his words. Giving a questioned look, Malek entered the room with a angered expression on his face. Cracking his knuckles and neck, Malek charged at the Mandalorian and deliever several blows all over his body. The Mandalorian only screamed as the kicks and punches landed, until he was knocked out cold. Vizsla then complimented Malek, to which Malek replied with a thankful statement. Even when outnumbered and outgunned, Malek was still able to take out his enemies, while utilizing martial with a rifle or pistols in hand. Malek's best use of his martial arts skills was seen numerous times, but three times have been considered to be his best use. One was seen when he fought against his brother Jorak in their "final" fight, where he easily overpowered him continuously counter several kicks and punches with ease, and barely any difficulty. He was even able to knock of Jorak's helmet of with one kick. Another use was when he fought of against several clone troopers during the First Battle of Geonosis, where he killed of a high number of them, and even left four Jedi Masters completely knocked out, by running into them with just one punch. His final most known use of martial arts was against his clones where he weakened them, despite all of them being the same level. He then killed them by kicking a grenade back to them, which was thrown at him during his escape. Malek became the best martial artist in galactic history, and a recognizable one is his family and clan. As hundreds of years passed, Malek taught other Mandalorians in fighting skills, even Jango Fett himself. However, only Malek's first and second wives reached his mastery of martial arts, along with his children as well.
Durability and Strength
Malek also proved to be one of the strongest members of his family, possessing tremendous physical strength. Malek was also able to take a certain tremendous amount of pain and blows to his body. When in service with the Empire, Malek at one point was shot multiple times by a rotary-blaster cannon, and even a grenade launcher four times straight, in which he survived all encounters. Although his armor provided him some protection, Malek's physical appearance provided him a strong defense. He was able to even pick up an LAAT packed with explosives and throw it with very little effort towards an entire battalion of Silent Watch soldiers, killing them of, and critically injuring the remaining soldiers. With his strength, he was able to crush vehicles with a single punch and send them flying as well.
Weaponry
"My eyes follow my targets. My blasters are focused and are aimed towards it trajectory. Knowing how to wield a blaster is way more different than shooting. Accuracy, focusing and aim benefit one."
-Malek Kriya, bounty hunter, assassin
Malek was a highly skilled and masterful shooter. It made him one of the most deadliest and feared Mandalorians to ever live.
In addition to these skills, Malek was a highly skilled shooter, with incredible and deadly accuracy, a master at point blank shooting, and was able to hit multiple targets without moving a step, and could even focus his aim while running, flying, or if his target was moving. Malek's shooting skills were highly noticed by both the Separatists and the Death Watch, and would be called Hawk Eye several times. Unlike several bounty hunters who used sniper rifles to kill their targets, Malek often confided with his Warlord pistols, just like Cad Bane, Malek's reputation as a bounty hunter evolved over time.
Because of it, Malek became a respected Mandalorian, to friend and foe alike. It was also his because of this that he became Mand'alor in 139 ABY. While as Mand'alor, Malek gave time to teach many new Mandalorians who joined the new Zeno Mandalorians and Mandalorian armies. As the years passed, Malek added new styles and techniques to his abilities, which would benefit him and the Mandalorians during the Second Mandalorian Civil War and the Impeial/Mandalorian campaign. Malek himself was also an excellent weapon constructionist, in which he highly excelled at. Because of it Malek was able to create or merge to weapons together, especially when it came to blasters.
Malek was created because of how much I like the Mandalorians.
Besides the Jedi and Sith, Mandalorian are my personal favorite characters in the entire Star Wars universe
Credit to the portayal of Malek's clones goes to Spectra Phantom and Scarr Rider, as the Sith Lord Darth Osucri goes to NikeLegend XvX.
First quote:I am gonna ask you one question. Where's my money? Stop hiding like a 'hut'uun', and show yourself. Like I always say, when I get a job done, and I ain't paid, my contractor better have a pistol in arm. I will not hesitate to shoot him. All I can eventually say is....There's a price to pay.
This story is pretty much over, but is still in the process of its final editing, though i am not confirming it.
Although I didn't mention Malek's second wife Deborrah in various parts of his life, she was present during those times, since she played bigger roles later on in his life.
