'''Mikhail Marik''' served as the seventh [[Captain-General of the Free Worlds League|Captain-General]] of the [[Free Worlds League]]. He was the brother of [[Geraldine Marik]].<ref name=HHM83>''Handbook House Marik'', p. 83, "Captains-General in History"</ref>
 
 
 
==History==
 
As a young man, Mikhail survived a gyrocopter crash. Despite having suffered a broken arm and fractured ankle, he carried a comrade six miles through a desert with no water.<ref name=HM14>''House Marik (The Free Worlds League)'', p. 14, "The Case of 'Uncle Mikhail'"</ref>
 
 
 
In [[2344]] Mikhail met [[Reiko Makayoshi]]. Makayoshi was a member of a trade mission from the [[Draconis Combine]]. Mikhail started an affair with her, one of many. When Mikhail fathered a child with her, Makayoshi was exiled from the Combine. With the help of his sister the Captain-General, Makayoshi emigrated to the League. The family lived on [[Atreus (FWL)|Atreus]], sheltered by Mikhail.<ref name=HM14 /><ref name=HHM15 />
 
 
 
Following the assassination of Captain-General Geraldine Marik in [[2364]], Mikhail took her son [[Allan Marik|Allan]] into custody and ruled the League as regent. Allan had suffered wounds during his mother's assassination, but he recovered quickly. Mikhail oversaw a brutal purge that targeted the Sian-Mariks, a branch of the family that was responsible for Geraldine's assassination. Mikhail is suspected of having manufactured plots to legitimize his tenure.<ref name=HHM83 /><ref name=HHM14>''Handbook: House Marik'', p. 13</ref><ref>''House Marik (The Free Worlds League)'', p. 13</ref> Mikhail's motivations for his actions are largely unknown, though one theory is that [[Knights-Grasse Syndrome]], a degenerative disease, made him behave erratically.<ref name=HM14 /><ref name=HHM15>''Handbook: House Marik'', p. 15, "Mikhail Marik&mdash;Bad, Mad or Dangerous?"</ref>
 
 
 
===Death and afterward===
 
Loyalists rescued Allan from Mikhail's imprisonment. In 2367, an elevator accident killed [[Hideyo Makayoshi]]. Mikhail's suicide later that year averted civil war.<ref name=HHM83 /><ref name=HHM14 /><ref name=HHM15 />
