In the latest installment of Ahsoka, the mysterious Inquisitor goes up against Ahsoka once again. The former Jedi puts an end to their duel pretty quickly, though, with a slick move that cuts Marrok's torso. The Inquisitor then appears to turn into green mist that escapes through his dark uniform.

So what exactly happened to him? At the moment, it's unclear, but it certainly would seem like magick courtesy of the Nightsisters of Dathomir, most likely through their descendant Morgan Elsbeth. The witches are actually able to reanimate the dead and possess people, with that tell-tale green magick glow appearing around their targets and vessels. It's not obvious at the moment if that's what happened to Marrok, but since the mist is green, we can assume the Nightsisters' magick is involved somehow. Some kind of magick transformation for the man inside Marrok's suit is an especially convincing theory, considering that, in Arthurian legend, Marrok is the name of a knight turned into a wolf by a witch associated with Morgan le Fay.

This could also mean Marrok is a Nightbrother, AKA a male, Zabrak inhabitant of Dathomir – Darth Maul was one of these. Since the Nightsisters' society is matriarchal, the Nightbrothers are subservient to the witches.

There have been plenty of other theories about who Marrok is, though, ranging from Sam Witwer's Force Unleashed character Starkiller to a tragic theory suggesting the Inquisitor is Ezra Bridger himself. We still don't know who is beneath the mask, though the possibilities are endless with magick involved.

Maybe we've seen the last of Marrok, but it's also likely that he'll be showing up again, which could provide more answers. We'll just have to wait and see.
