What? Where's my damn treasure. I was told there would be treasure.

—Maroo

Maroo is a thief who helps the Tenno and the Lotus uncover the Arcane Codices after being hunted by her former employers, the Grineer, during the Stolen Dreams quest. As a thief, her interests lay in anything that helps her in the pursuit of money and riches. She runs her own relay on Mars, exclusively for Trading with other players and to access her Weekly Ayatan Treasure Hunt.

Lore

General

Maroo's loyalties lie only to herself or to the highest bidder, as she was first shown working for the Grineer in recovering the Arcane Codices, only to betray them and sell them to the Corpus instead. She has very little respect for either the Lotus or the Tenno, condescendingly referring to the latter as "Tin Suits". She has a considerable level of skill, as she was able to locate and recover the Codices (located deep in an Orokin Derelict) without serious injury (where several Grineer troops have failed and/or perished trying to do so) and was capable of initiating conflict between the Grineer and the Corpus stationed on Mars, with the intent of stealing anything of value amidst the confusion.

Stolen Dreams

Maroo was initially contracted by Tyl Regor to find the Arcane Codices, only to sell the last three pieces of the Codices to the Corpus and subsequently go into hiding. Curious as to what the Codices contain, the Lotus sends the Tenno to a Corpus outpost on Europa to subdue her. Under the Tenno's custody Maroo initially refuses to reveal where the last Codex fragments are located, but when the Lotus threatens to hand her back to Regor, Maroo quickly points the location where the Codices are stored. As the Tenno infiltrate the Corpus' data vaults, Ordis theorizes that the Arcane Codex could lead to an Orokin treasure, much to Maroo's delight.

Once the Tenno collect all five of the Arcane Codices, Ordis explains that any machine that could read the Codex has probably degraded beyond use, only for Maroo to disclose that she extracted the Codices from an Arcane Machine within an Orokin Derelict. Theorizing that the Machine could read the combined Codex, the Tenno head out to Mars (which has a portal leading to said Derelict) to access the Arcane Machine. Once they insert the Arcane Codex however, the Machine broadcasts a cryptic message before vanishing without a trace. Disappointed that nothing of value was found, Maroo parts ways with the Tenno.

Project Undermine Tactical Alert

In the midst of unrest between the Grineer and the Corpus, the Lotus intercepts a bizarre distress signal broadcasted from Mars, and traces it to a prison located on Ceres. The Tenno head to Ceres to free the unknown prisoner, who ultimately turns out to be Maroo. She explains that she initiated the very conflict being waged between the Corpus and the Grineer, in the hopes of stealing items of value unnoticed. Unfortunately, the chaos attracted the attention of the Grineer's elite Nightwatch Corps, who subsequently ended up discovering Maroo and capturing her. Thanking the Tenno for the rescue, she points them to a location to thin out the Corps' numbers and ultimately drive them off.

Weekly Mission

After the completion of Stolen Dreams quest, the player will be able to run a weekly Ayatan Treasure Hunt with Maroo. This mission works similar to the occasional, parkour-oriented challenge rooms found in either Orokin Void or Orokin Derelict's treasure room. Only this time, completing said treasure hunt is the primary objective of the mission.

The reward for completing the challenge room (and in extension the mission) is a random Ayatan Sculpture, with the sole exception for the Anasa variant. The mission can be completed once per week, resetting every Monday.

Trivia

In the Codex, Maroo's classified faction is none. This makes the first codex entry in the game under the enemies section to have no faction.
Apart from the Lotus, Maroo is the first character to use the new speech animations rather than the "jaw wagging" mechanism that other characters had at the time.
Maroo's helmet design has a striking resemblance to those worn by Steel Meridian operatives.
When Maroo is downed by the Tenno during the Europa mission, Maroo will shoot at the Tenno from bleedout with a Lex, unlike regular capture targets.
- This makes Maroo one of the three NPC's in game to be able to go into the "Downed" state, the others being Syndicate Operatives and Specters.
She was the first character in the game that wears cosmetic armor available to players, in this case a single left Edo shoulder plate, with custom black colors, Edo knee plates worn on her thighs, and a Dendra leg guard on her right shin. Surprisingly, her bazaar model wears no cosmetics.
Maroo is voiced by Satauna Howery.

Bugs

In the codex, the words "health", "shields" and "armor" are replaced with the word "none" in their respective positions.

-Maroo was hired by [[Tyl Regor]] to find and retrieve a piece of the [[Arcane Codices]] inside an [[Orokin Derelict]]. However, Maroo had a general dislike of the [[Grineer]], and thus gave them a fake Codex, while stealing the original Codex to sell to the [[Corpus]]. Enraged, Tyl Regor ordered his men to hunt down Maroo to recover the Codex, and to kill her if necessary.

+===[[Stolen Dreams]]===
-While hiding in a Corpus outpost on [[Europa]], Maroo is captured by the [[Tenno]] and brought to the [[Lotus]] for interrogation. Initially dismissive of the Lotus' intentions in finding the parts of the Arcane Codex, Maroo agrees to assist the Tenno in exchange for protective custody against the Grineer. While assisting the Tenno by finding the locations of the Arcane Codices, Maroo begins to believe (through conversation with [[Ordis]]) that the Arcane Codices lead to the location of an [[Orokin]] treasure, which makes her more forthcoming in revealing information regarding the Codices.

-Maroo's assistance alongside the Tenno comes to an end when she guides them to the Arcane Machine where she recovered the piece she stole, in order to decipher the completed Arcane Codex. Much to Maroo's disappointment, the Arcane Machine simply broadcasts a cryptic message instead of anything of supposed value. With the Arcane Codex, and thus the threat from the Grineer, now gone, Maroo leaves to find new ventures elsewhere.

-* It is quite odd that a supposed thief would carry such loud and heavy weaponry as the [[Aklex]] she carries, as one would imagine a thief's job would be to remain stealthy.
