Contents
Character Brief
Daughter of Paul Marik and niece of Captain-General Thomas Marik, Corinne was not initially interested in politics and has in fact avoided all of the family's political machinations and legacies. Her personality is the exact opposite of her fathers and she has taken steps to distance herself from the political infighting and has in fact refused to be named second in line for the Free Worlds League throne.[2]. In regards to her military record, she is noted for her easy going and relaxed attitude, winning her the support of the men under her command. Corinne has never be seen to exercise power beyond that of her earned rank nor has she ever abused her familial connections in pursuit of her personal and professional ambitions
Character History
Military Career
She attended and graduated from the Allison MechWarrior Institute in 3045[3] Upon graduation Corinne entered service in the Free World League military and rose to rank of Captain in the 2nd Free Worlds Legionnaires and was put in command of a company of BattleMechs while unit was station on Sadurni in 3050. Over the years assigned to the Legionnaries she achieved the ranks of Force Commander and finally Executive Officer by 3062.
In the later years of the 3060s she was promoted to the rank of Colonel. Also during this period Corinne gave birth to her daughter Giselle. She has become political and became a "pro-Thomas" loyalist and has accepted the postion as second in line to the throne after Thomas's daughter Isis Marik. As of 3067, Her relationship with her father is shakey and she has been seen arguing with him in public during a Halloween Masque on Atreus in 3067.[4]
Coup, Captain-Generallcy, and the Jihad
In August of 3069 all things changed. Paul Marik, using his position and League Minister of Intelligence and his hidden Word of Blake connectinos, mounted a coup against the fake Thomas Marik. Using Blakist resources he attacked the palace in an attempt to capture Thomas and his family. Paul was acting on the orders of his true brother, whom he refferred to as the Master. Corrine had learned what was to happen and intercepted the kidnapping forces, killing them.[5] She convinced Thomas to flee with his family to safety offworld and makes the arrangements for transportation. Upon arriving at transport a firefight broke out. Though the defending Blakist and Marik forces were killed or driven away Thomas' two sons were killed and his wife Sherryl was severly injured. Corrine convinced Thomas to flee with his daughter Jessica, swearing to obtain medical aid for Sherryl and to protect her until they could be reunited.[6]
With Thomas gone and Sheryl taken care of Corrine succumbed to the pressure from her father and acepted the Captain-Generalcy. Though she was placed there through the machination of her Father and Word of Blake she did not support their aggenda. One of her first acts as Captain General is to reduce tarrifs for world governments that are loyal to the Free worlds League. On the other hand, the government in exile parliament raised tariffs at the same time, causing confusion among the world governments, resulting in many paying no tariffs at all due to the conflicting messages from Atreus and the government in exile.[7]
