Biography
By the age of 7, Mako was an orphan living on Nar Shadda and already had earned a reputation for having an unnatural affiliation to all things computer related including splicing. Her skills were such that she managed to teach herself every known programming language and at the age of eight managed to crash the bank account of a red light district orphanage in which she lived, which had attempted to sell her. After escaping the orphanage with a large amount of credits from their account, she found herself working with several of Nar Shadda's most notorious splicer gangs. 7 years after her escape, at the age of 15, several of Mako's friends disastrously messed up a job given to them by a Hutt cartel. Mako was in some way partially blamed for the incident and ended up wounded in an alley where she was found by a bounty hunter named Braden. Braden required a tech specialist for his crew and offered her the job, which she accepted, wanting to leave the moon and let the failed job fade from the Hutt's memories. She soon came to see Braden's crew as her first real family and grew to love the code of honor and underground culture of the bounty hunting world.

Behind the scenes
Mako was featured in a development diary released by BioWare and later received her own page on the official The Old Republic website in the holonet section. She will be one of the companion characters open to players who choose Bounty hunter class in the game.

Her name is misspelled sometimes as Mayko, which might come from the circumstance that when she was revealed in the English walkthrough her name was only heard. However BioWare has written her name as Mako in the subtitles for French and German of that video.

There are several phrases written in Aurebesh on her biography page at the official site. When translated, they read: "SIS Object of Interest", "Coral is Not Mako" and "Ran Qyzen".

She is voiced by Lacey Chabert.
