Typher Marlion

Typher "Ty" Marlion is a former of the Galactic Empire who currently serves in an administrative role at the Remnant's facilities in Philadelphia where he holds the rank of Colonel.

Arrival on Earth
In 2001 following the September 11th Attacks, Marlion was among a group of TIE pilots who were sent to conduct a scouting mission on the city of Los Angeles in the United States. As they approached the city, Marlion and the fighter group he was with were intercepted by s of the United States Marine Corps' Black Knight Squadron which had been put on alert as the group of TIEs approached US airspace. Fearing for the safety of local citizens, Marine Captain Steven Laramie baited Marlion and his wing man Marten Rawlkins into a pursuit away from the city. During the pursuit, Laramie had located the frequency being used by the Imperials and gloated that his pursuers would never catch him. It quickly became a contest of skills between the three pilots that ended with all three fighters crashing in the desert near. Upon meeting face to face, the three quickly complimented each other on their skills. Although they still had the numbers advantage, the two Imperials decided that they were in no position to fight with Marlion adding that Laramie could probably beat them in an actual fight anyway. The three eventually made their way to Las Vegas where Laramie provided some food for his prisoners as the three had made a long walk from their crash site to the city. After eating and resting, the three arrived at the nearby where the three were then taken to Area 51 for medical examinations and to await questioning by Bryan Khayman. During the small talk among the three, Marlion mentioned that being a prisoner of war was better then being sent to Death Star III and said he had a bad feeling about the station. Khayman then informed the two Imperials of their rights under the to which Marlion mentioned that Laramie already knew about the in-fighting between Tiaan Jerjerrod and Wanda Houston which surprised Khayman.

Life at Area 51
The two Imperials spent the next 18 months living at Area 51 in comfort while hearing bits and pieces about galactic events from Laramie who mentioned to them flying against both Death Stars, Khayman when he had other questions for them, or others at the base who found the presence of the two interesting. This continued until 2003 following the Battle of Gratha when the two were released from custody as part of arrangements with the newly-formed Remnant. Under the new Remnant, Marlion was given a new assignment that sent him to the City of Philadelphia.

Remnant Era
Marlion arrived in Philadelphia during the Summer of 2003 with the task of overseeing Remnant investment in the future of the Earth's cities. Marlion was provided with access to thousands of documents detailing various city projects that had been shelved for lack of funding. He eventually decided on two transportation related projects, one was building extensions of the while the other was restoring the city's remaining streetcar routes. Using the Remnant funding, the Broad Street Line was extended along to the northeast and along Passyunk Avenue to the southwest eventually reaching the. The Remnant also provided for the purchase of new vehicles for these extensions. During this time, Marlion also married a woman named Donna and had two children and then lived a quiet life keeping in touch with Laramie and Rawlkins until 2018.

In 2018, Marlion along with Rawlkins and Laramie took part in Operation Lothal Freedom which was the successful intervention of Remnant and Earth forces against the First Order over the planet Lothal. A year later, a reference to his capture was discovered in the memory banks of the Astro Megaship by Bryan Khayman's nephew Troy Khayman along with Spectres members Darius Carpenter, Lucy Felth who had also been at Lothal during the battle with the First Order, and Lucy's droid R9-D2. With the help of Lucy's dad General Tevin Felth and Grand Admiral Firmus Piett, Marlion was located and interviewed about the operation over LA and his time in captivity by Lucy and Darius who eventually came up with the idea of turning the story into a movie with Josh Myers adding some suggestions on what to include in the movie which no one found funny or interesting.

Future
Sometime around 2022, the movie about his story was released with Marlion and his fellow pilots credited as Creative Consultants.

In 2030, Marlion is a General commanding a staff that includes Lucy who has married Darius and given birth to a son named Caleb and the Carpenters' former Remnant Junior Academy teacher Raechelle Sloane who has married Ed Dobbs the brother of Darius' former Principal Reggie Dobbs as well as a Sergeant named Schultz who serves as Marlion's office manager. He is shown to enjoy having Caleb around the office and frequently loses (possibly intentionally) to Caleb at with Darius suggesting that Caleb might be ready for  after Caleb had been brought to the office by Lucy following incidents at Caleb's school that Marlion and Lucy thought disturbing enough to bring in Major Hochster of the Remnant Security Bureau to further investigate. Marlion has by this time begun a Youth Outreach Program which aims to help troubled teens before it becomes too late. Among the methods he uses to reach the teens is by arranging for teens to take tours of the local Remnant Detention Center with the tours and the fates of the teens left to Lucy.

He, Marty, and Steve still have their weekly conference calls which is made easier as Steve now works at and frequently visits Marty much to the annoyance of Hochster who starts screaming at the sight of Steve and the sound of Ty's voice before disconnecting the call. The three now-retired pilots find some amusement in being difficult with Hochster and other agents of the Remnant Security Bureau as Ty later orders the removal of Major Zollet from the city after Zollet indirectly told Ty that Lucy had invited a known criminal into her home in the form of Hondo Ohnaka and files a report with the Felths that details Zollet as "mentally disturbed and possibly paranoid" based on his behavior and comments. Ty also mentions having a sister-in-law who will eat just about anything she can find adding that he had to order a special cake for her to devour during the small ceremony to promote Lucy after Tevin Felth had been informed of Zollet's visit and comments.

Typher's relationship with former RSB Major Eric Schuyler is shown to be less antagonistic as Schuyler doesn't seem to suffer from the same levels of paranoia that Hochster and Zollet suffer from. After a mission to Ord Mantell involving members of the Spectres, he gets involved with the case of one of Darius' students who is found near-death in her home after Darius asked Lucy to join him on a home visit and Marlion joined them with a number of Remnant Death Troopers as Marlion feared Darius and Lucy might walk into the same situation that Ezra Bridger and Jamal Wilkins had found Darius in with an armed subject in the house. During this case, he threatens the man found inside the house by his troops (Brad Warren) with the Death Penalty for having a weapon that is not supposed to be in civilian hands and has been used in the past to commit murder. He also instructs the to arrest Keisha's mother Tiana Banks and hand her over to the Remnant when they informed him that she had come to file a report about a robbery at the home which was actually Marlion's raid on the house. He later puts Schuyler (now assigned to his command permanently on Landon McKnight's recommendation) in charge of the case as he begins to see the similarities in this case and what was the first of the many cases involving Darius. Marlion also helps Greg Washington the Vice-Principal at Keisha's school with locating her father Jeremie Clarke who tells Marlion and Shirley Forbes that he has been fighting with Tiana to see Keisha for years and that she refused to bring Keisha to the meeting spot as ordered by the.

At some point in Late 2030 or Early 2031, he refers to Lucy and Eric as his and Donna's "other two kids" and both Lucy and Tevin Felth consider the Marlions to be part of the "Extended Felth Family". In 2031, Ty along with Donna and Eric gives testimony at the court-martial of Hans Dietrich who had been charged with two murders and a number of other offenses. While dealing with Dietrich, he welcomes Jason Oliver to his staff and is surprised to hear that his new addition also comes from a well known family. During the summer of 2031, he joins a response to an attack on American Spaceways Flight 154 by mercenaries hired by Galactic Crimelord Unkar Plutt that also included Lucy's Red Squadron, Admiral Eli Vanto's Star Destroyer the Chimaera, and Jacen Syndulla with the Ghost. In October of 2031, he takes time off after Donna's sister passes away as Donna wishes to bury her sister in leaving Lucy in command and arranging with Tevin for a substitute officer which Tevin supplies in the form of Christopher Felth.
