BIOGRAPHY
Maalik was raised amongst the Matukai warrior-monks. His mother nor father were ever known to him, and the monks would only ever tell him that they had left him in their care. The young boy spent his first ten years amongst the monks of the Matukai, being taught the very basics of their beliefs and their ways. On his tenth birthday, a visitor who knew personal details of Maalik’s parents sought out the boy. Tagetes Cordata, the Neti Jedi Master, claimed Maalik’s parents had been close friends in their earlier life. The Neti claimed Maalik’s parents had requested that the boy be trained under their care as well. Initially hesitant, the Matukai monks, through charismatic arguments of Tagetes, eventually were convinced. They agreed to allow Maalik to train with the Jedi Order, under the guidance of Jedi Master Tagetes Cordata.
For the next four years, Maalik trained beneath Tagetes, learning how to apply the Force beyond just self-amplification. The pair found most of their training to occur on Kashyyyk within the planet’s enclaves. As such when the Hapan-Sith invasion occurred, Maalik and Tagetes were on world. Tagetes ordered their Padawan learner to aid in the evacuation of Younglings while they aided in the defense of the Enclave. This would be the last time the two ever saw one another.
Maalik never knew if it was a stray Hapan blaster bolt or the crimson edge of a lightsaber that robbed him of their Master. But they felt it through their connection in the Force. It was a pain and loss so deep that Maalik’s lights dimmed for days as they mourned the loss of their mentor. However, time moves forward and the Order will assign him a new master…a new concern now plagues his mind, will the Matukai approve of this new tutor?
Personality
Maalik is outwardly stoic, many of his emotions never reaching his face beyond slight curling of the lips. This isn’t because he doesn’t feel the emotions, rather in the manner he expresses them. His luminescent sigils, hair strands, and eyes dim or darken based upon the moods or emotions he feels. Through them, Maalik conveys a variety of emotions quite frequently.
Maalik is entirely committed to the Light Side of the Force due entirely to his upbringing within the Matukai. He views the Dark Side of the Force as a taint and believes the only way to protect the Force and through it the Galaxy, is through the destruction of its practitioners. This viewpoint was only reinforced through the loss of his former Jedi mentor. To him, there can be no redemption offered to any who embrace the Dark Side of the Force.
Aside from this, Maalik struggles with his commitments to the Matukai Order and the Jedi Order. Finding it difficult to balance the two viewpoints in his mind while feeling a pull towards both. To protect the Light Side and the virtues it represents purely or to protect the innocent of the Galaxy and embody them. He hopes to find clarity in his purpose through finding and understanding the Will of the Force.
