Marr Idi-Shael was a male Force-sensitive math savant Cerean and first mate of the starship Junker, aboard which he conducted savalging operations for many years with his friend, the Captain Khedryn Faal. After his meeting with the Jedi Knight Jaden Korr and a short informal Force-training with Master Relin Druur in 41 ABY, he asked to join the New Jedi Order, becoming the apprentice of Jaden Korr.
