History
Marik Caine while the oldest of 3, is the less adventurous sibling. He learned to work on ships but preferred not to hunt. When he stayed behind one day and the rest of his family took his younger sisters out to learn how to hunt with a Helm Suit, little did he know they would not all return.[1]
Journey to the Surface[]
10 years later, Marik had became a police officer who skulked with prostitutes and drug abuse. One day, he was approached by a pimp for not paying and ended up in a firefight. He killed the prostitute in the exchange and was placed under arrest.[2] While in prison, Marik was about to kill himself when his mother struck a deal to free him. He was dragged along on a journey to the surface to search for a probe. They were about to run out of oxygen when his mom found a miraculous way of reaching the next city on other sea creature's backs. Marik began to see the ways of his mother's eternal optimism.[3]
The two finally arrived in Poluma. They soon spotted Roln, the pirate who attacked their ship 10 years ago. His mother was taken captive when she moved to early on Roln. Marik tried a different route. He sneaked to Tajo's quarters and attempted to convincing her to escape with them. However, she had grown devotion to Roln over the years and double-crossed him, placing him in arrest.[4]
