Originally a Jedi of the old Republic and close friend of Arice Quinn, Maris turned to the darkside after Quinn sent her off Coruscant in order to save her from the Imperial Inquisition, even though it meant he would be captured and would not see again for over thirty years.
Nicknamed the spider queen for the large eight legged metal base of operations that she uses to traverse Dathomir. The spider's body is large enough house two or three hundred people and several operations. When Perem's forces landed on Dathomir it was used to survey for the rare lodestone used to make the forcer bane blasters, allowing them to only clear, deforest and exterminate the areas where the mining rigs were to be built. Operations on Dathomir are drawing to a close, most of the lodestone having been mined. The area around the Crystal Desert, the Fire Mountain Clan and the Tainted Earth Clan is now heavily industrialised with very little fauna remaining. Most of the witches living in the area are killer or scattered. One, Silone, daughter of Nandi the Clan Mother of Fire Mountain Clan and Brother of Krath who was killed in a duel with the Daer'Gunn escaped to Onderon and helped out in the med centre during the war of darkness with Sivter.
Maris has now been revealed to be in the process of becoming a Vankyr, further along the path than any of Malakai's servants she is starting to feel the effects more strongly. She recently lost a light sabre duel with the Jedi Brembla Kol and would have been killed, but Malakai stepped in at the last moment, saved her and slaughtered Brembla Kol effortlessly.
Since sparring with Ald Sorosel she has experienced the blinding speed available to Vankyr and even the protuding, fangs, dripping paralysing venom - though she resisted using them during this friendly duel.
Darius Malakai has been instructing Maris Eterna in the use of an ancient lost lightsabre form called Arachnopaad, or the spider form. Which despite only limited tutelage, due to ehr Vankyr blinding speed, has made Maris a deadly opponent.
Maris showed her great prowess and Vankyr abilities by defeating legend of the Old Republic, The Blademaster Raynard Quinn, known originally as Arice Quinn. Her cocky over-confidence having duelled him into the ground, and gloating was the only means by which Quinn was able to turn the tables with a surprise attack. This attack left Maris cleaved virtually into two pieces - her formidable Vankyr regeneration meant that she was completely healed and training again within days.
