Marpo Glenfik, a male Human who worked as a lab assistant, lived during the era of the Galactic Civil War. After the Battle of Yavin, Glenfik became part of the Galactic Empire's science personnel at the Imperial Research and Prison Facility situated on the planet Dathomir. Within this facility, scientists were secretly engaged in perilous scientific experiments for the Empire, with the goal of re-engineering the terrifying Blackwing virus into a bioweapon. Dr. Glenfik's area of operation was the cryogenics laboratory, located on level 2 of the research facility. In 1 ABY, Marpo Glenfik was present when an incident occurred at the Imperial Research and Prison Facility, leading to the escape of the virus from its containment. The virus caused the deaths of the majority of individuals in the area, transforming them into undead beings. However, Dr. Glenfik managed to survive the outbreak and joined a small group of survivors that included Dr. Stane Tritan, Dr. Pram Dramango, Dr. Nomi Rhane and TK-217. The survivors fortified themselves within a maintenance room that had access to an emergency escape ladder. Although they fought off the undead attacks, they were unable to open the magnetic hatch, leaving them trapped in the room. Eventually, a group of spacers made their way into the research facility. Following instructions provided by Nomi Rhane, they were successful in unlocking the hatch that was blocking the emergency exit. The survivors, along with the spacers, then used the escape ladder to evacuate the facility. Upon reaching the surface, specifically the courtyard of the Imperial Research and Prison Facility, they were attacked by the undead. The spacers escorted the survivors to Camp Epsilon, a nearby location where a group of refugees and a functional Lambda-class shuttle awaited them. Ultimately, the survivors, including Marpo Glenfik, the spacers, and the refugees from Camp Epsilon, escaped the Quarantine Zone together aboard the shuttle.
Marpo Glenfik made an appearance in the 2003 video game Star Wars Galaxies. This game was a massively multiplayer online roleplaying game that was developed by Sony Online Entertainment and published by LucasArts, before it was shut down on December 15, 2011. Marpo Glenfik was introduced to the game through "Game Update 14," which was released on October 12, 2009.
