| - Malek Kriya, (Mal'iak Crey-ia in Mando'a) nicknamed Mal'Ko or Falcon, was a renowned Mandalorian warrior, bounty hunter, mercenary and assassin, younger brother to bounty hunter Jorak Kriya, husband of Xasha Lazen and 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-sensitive Zenolian, 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 Mandalorian bounty hunter Shae Vizla after the latter's ship crashed into her's when leaving Mandalore. Angered, Vizsla charged at Malek for damaging her ship, but met with an unexpected blow by Malek who told her he was just like her. Questioning him, Malek invited her to meet his clan who which were located a few clicks north of where they crashed. Gaining each others trust, Malek and Shae decided to work together. Given second-in-command of his clan, Malek and Shae were responsible for the deaths of numerous Jedi Masters across the galaxy, after the two discovered that both of them of similar hatred for the Jedi, since each lost family to them. Three years later the two were contacted by the Sith Lord Darth 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.Through this, Malek's immense hate for the Jedi grew, as he told Vizsla that the Jedi would pay for their misdeeds, and she agreed. When the Empire elected to mobilize an attack on the galactic capital world 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 ten years, both Malek and Shae went on numerous tasks together, accompanied by the Kriya clan, who operated as a mercenary group. A year prior to the wars ending, Malek broke ties with the Empire, after stating he wanted to go on and work alone, much to Shae's disappointment. Comforting her, Malek asked Shae if she would like to join them, but she decided that she wouldn't for personal reasons. Deciding to talk alone, gently caressing her, Malek and Shae shared one last intimate moment together before their departure. Almost a year later, Malek received a message from Shae saying that she had conceived his child, and that it was a girl. Seeing her through the hologram brought joy to Malek's heart. Both stated that even though they were forever separate, the love for their child kept it strong. It was be the last time Malek spoke to Shae, for his bounty hunting and mercenary services kept him working for more than three thousands years. However, before Malek could even meet his daughter, he was killed by an assassin two days before announcing his retirement in 332 BBY to his clan. His daughter, who was named Shae Kriya arrived the day of his funeral, where she muttered, that she had wished she could have met him. 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 obiviously start out as a child. Since the order would come through his daughter alone, Shae Kriya decided that she would have her father cloned, much to the approval of the clan. Taking up her father's mantle as leader, Shae 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 attempts, and was made unaltered, as Shae Kriya had demanded. However, wanting to take him for his own, the Kaminoan ordered Malek to kill Shae, but since the clone suffered from memories of his orginal templete, 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 Shae, whom he quickly saw as his daughter, and Shae 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 Shae 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, commiting several assassinations on several senators. In 22 BBY Malek ventured of to Concordia to join the Death Watch, via infiltration. Pledgeing their services to it's leader Pre Vizsla, the leader eventually accepted. Malek eventually became a liuetenant 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 Lord Darth Maul and his apprentice Savage Opress in taking Mandalore, and relieving it from the pacifist and peaceful Mandalorian government, 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 foot soldiers 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. 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. Later in life, Deborrah used the alias Ailyn, to disguise her name after a problem with Kryat's Sith Empire. 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.
