He is pragmatic and logical, seeing the empire's problems as a complex audit that requires careful management of assets and liabilities.[TGOK-13]He is also capable of ruthless efficiency, as shown when he had corrupt air base administrators executed by being eaten alive by falcons to restore order.[TGOK-20]

The Bureaucrat General
Appointed Commander-in-Chief by a dismissive Lügo Crupo, Marana methodically developed a pragmatic plan to rebuild the empire's weakened forces. He restored the Imperial air force on Rui and proved a clever naval tactician, defeating the Amu navy at the Battle of Arulugi.[TGOK-13][TGOK-20][TGOK-24]Marana was ultimately captured by Mata Zyndu's forces at the Battle of Wolf's Paw. After the war, he was forced to serve the Hegemon as a commander. He was finally killed by the double-agent Dafiro Miro during Gin Mazoti's surprise attack on Rui.[TGOK-29][TGOK-43]
