Plesko Marno was an Ozrelanso male who worked for the New Republic's Bureau of Ships and Services as a clerk. When the New Republic Senate and fleet were destroyed in the Hosnian Cataclysm in 34 ABY, Marno fled the destruction with a collection of navigational data he had stolen over the years.
The data contained insider information including shortcuts and prefered routes that had ordinarily been kept exclusively for government or corporate transport use. Keeping the data with him, Marno began working as a navigator for hire who could reliably cut down on travel times.
In 35 ABY, Marno was an inhabitant of Kijimi City on the planet Kijimi while the world was occupied by the First Order. He spent time in the Spice Runners' Den, and was stood against the building's bar when the Spice Runner Zorii Bliss led a group of Resistance agents through the room. Marno turned and watched the Resistance members Finn and C-3PO as they passed. Shortly after the encounter, the First Order pulled its forces from Kijimi and destroyed the planet.
Marno wore a red armored blast vest over a red and gray robe with jakobeast-fur sleeves. The vest had a on the back in which he kept his stolen navigational data.
Plesko Marno was created for the 2019 sequel trilogy film, Star Wars: Episode IX The Rise of Skywalker, and was identified simultaneously in the accompanying reference book Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker: The Visual Dictionary, which was written by Pablo Hidalgo, and a card in the 2019 Topps Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker Series 1 trading card set by The Topps Company, Inc.. Concept art of a less heavily armored Marno titled "Wizard 37" was drawn for the film by creature concept designer and senior sculptor Martin Rezard.
