Bio:  Marek is the son of a Polish Army officer and a mother that is part Australian, part indigenous Australian.  He was raised mainly by his mother in Australia as his father was gone most of the time serving in Poland.  His father did visit as often as possible however, and the family was very well off.  Marek also had a younger brother and older sister.  They were raised in a middle class area of Perth and Marek’s mother worked at a car dealership doing clerical services.  During High School, Marek started gravitating towards the idea of becoming a police officer while his brother debated joining the Australian Army.  The sister ended up becoming an accountant and moving to the United States after college, and several days after the departure, Marek’s father and brother were killed in a boating accident.

Marek and his mother grieved but got through it, although his mother was never really the same after that.  Within the year, she died of pneumonia and Marek was left with nothing as most of his mother’s family was not known to him because they avoided him for being an “outsider,” something the family struggled through since the marriage.  

Marek joined the Army at 18, directly out of high school and ended up serving in the airborne infantry.  After serving his 5 years with one deployment to Afghanistan, he rotated home and joined the Australian Tactical Response Team, (ATRT or “A-tart”) which is the equivalent to SWAT, but with broader jurisdiction.  He did this for 2 years before activating himself back up into the Army after the Sydney Church Bombings, opting back into the Airborne.  Not long after however, he was interviewed in Syria during his deployment and selected to apply for Operation 8.
