Lieutenant Colonel Mark DeMeer was a Corellian male and the younger brother of Tyr DeMeer, the Warrior Eminence of Mandalore. Circa Year 4, Mark DeMeer was a notable Imperial Army officer and commanded the Imperial Army's 2rd Battalion — more infamously known as the Dark Blade Legion.

Following the overthrow of Emperor Charon by Warlord Vodo Bonias and Greyson Uebles, DeMeer became openly disillusioned with the new Imperial High Command. He reportedly conspired with Grand Vizier Corell Aintab to depose Emperor Uebles. He was executed by Uebles' Imperial Security Bureau circa Year 4 Day 250. His brother Tyr was told by Imperial authorities that Mark had died at the hands of pirates during an Imperial operation.

Biography

Mark DeMeer was born on the planet of Corellia. He was the child of Magnus and Rishna DeMeer. The DeMeer family lived in the city of Coronet, the capital of the Corellia system. Here they had a small business, repairing and selling speeder bikes. But business was slow and it was time for a change. The whole family moved to Tatooine when Mark was nine years old. They started a business repairing and selling hyperdrive parts for starships. When Mark was about the age of fourteen his family was caught in the crossfire between a local Hutt gangster and a bounty hunter. Both of Mark's parents were hit and was killed.

A close friend to the family, a man called Jonan Sanand took care of the DeMeer children from this point. Jonan owned a bar together with a Noghri called Zhile in the area around the spaceports and, since Mark was spending the most of his free time here, he heard stories about the galaxy and great adventures. When he turned twenty, Mark left Tatooine and traveled around the galaxy for some time. His travels stopped at Berchest where he enlisted in the Imperial Army on Year 3 Day 92. He quickly finished his basic training and rose up through the grades. He was transferred to the planet of his origin, Corellia. During this time, DeMeer served under Colonel Maureen York and was a contemporary of Sergeant Squall Chitose, a future brigand in the Eidola Pirates. Mark was promoted to Major and became CO of the 2nd battalion, the Dark Blade Legion. His subordinates included Sergeant First Class Banquo Knox, Sergeant Caravon Thamin, and Corporal Vic Lazlo.

Circa Year 4 Day 133, Warlord Vodo Bonias and his confederates deposed Charon as emperor, and Greyson Uebles ascended the Imperial throne. Believing Uebles and Bonias to be unfit to lead the Empire, DeMeer repeatedly denounced them in holonet transmissions. Circa Year 4 Day 241, he is believed to have joined a coup d'etat by Imperial Grand Vizier Corell Aintab against Emperor Uebles. The coup d'etat did not succeed. According to fragmented records, Imperial Security Bureau agent Banquo Knox carried out the summary execution of Mark DeMeer acting upon clandestine orders likely given by Bonias or Uebles. Angered by the death of their commander, many of DeMeer's legionnaires departed the Core Worlds and disappeared into the Unknown Regions. One of DeMeer's most unruly subordinates, Sergeant First Class (E-7) Konar Siosk-Baas, was later caught and murdered by the Eidola Pirates.
