Marcus Fayel (2719 - 2816) was a terraforming expert and religious leader best known as the founder of the Outsiders, also called the Sun's Eye Fellowship. Educated at University of Persei Analytical Research and Quantification (UPARQ), Fayel was hired by Hatfield & Harding in 2743 to oversee the terraformation of Leir II. Soon after arriving on the planet, Fayel established his own mining operation without the knowledge of his employers but was otherwise considered a model overseer. In 2803, Hatfield & Harding named Fayel "Employee of the Year," but he declined to receive the award in person. Instead, he sent a vid to the banquet in which he constantly repeated the phrase "purity of purpose." Finally, in 2812, Fayel cut all communication from Leir II and sent out a looped broadcast announcing that the planet's "purification" was complete and that he and his followers would be its stewards. Hatfield & Harding dispatched mercenaries to retake the planet, but were rebuffed. Fayel renamed the planet Mya and led his religious order until his death from natural causes in 2816.
