Darth Marr Speculation

First off, the unofficial leader of the Dark Council, Darth Marr

This is for speculated force powers, fighting style, armament, how he gained and held his seat on the Dark Council etc.

As per his force abilities, Darth Marr ascended to the Dark Council in his early twenties and held his spot for forty years while maintaining a leadership role amongst the other Dark Councilors, so this implies a great strength in the force. Darth Marr demonstrated force lightning lethal to a Sith Lord during his first couple of years on the Dark Council which shows that force lightning is in his repertoire as well as suggesting that he had decades to improve his power in this area. It's also almost certain that his telekinetic abilities were highly advanced, and given his Juggernaut like appearence it is likely he was talented with force choke.

As per his fighting style, given his bulky appearance and heavy battle armor, it's likely he specialized in Djem So. Given the fact that he possessed Tulak Hord's lightsaber (a legendary Sith duelist), it's also very likely that he was skilled with a blade.

Darth Marr possessed Tulak Hord's lightsaber as well as heavy battle armor and given his appearance I suspect he implemented some cybernetics into his body for augmentation purposes.

As per how he claimed his position and held it for as long as he did, I'd say he got on their by virtue of being very powerful, badass, and intimidating, as he ascended at a fairly early age and despite this managed to hold his seat for forty years while maintaining a leadership role. It's safe to say that his reputation also helps out quite a bit in maintaining control.

This is what I have for Darth Marr so far

Information from Star Wars: The Old Republic: Encyclopedia

Warlord and master of the dark side, Darth Marr is the most senior member of the Dark Council. Few know how Marr rose to power, and none speak of the man before he became a Lord of the Sith. When Marr speaks, he commands the attention of the entire Dark Council with intimidating authority and stern wisdom. But despite Marr's harsh warnings against internal strife, his fellow Sith continue to plot against each other for power and influence. To Marr, such deadly games riddle the Empire's pyramid of power with hairline fractures in a time when they must stand united against the Republic threat.

Darth Marr's creed is "Life is the enemy. Death is our solace." Fueled by zealous dedication to battle, he believes that personal strength and evolution are won only through conflict. To Marr, death is inevitable and necessary, a fate that only cowards waste energy avoiding. Darth Marr embodied these principles in the Great War against the Republic as he fearlessly battled on the front lines, fortified Imperial defenses, and held conquered worlds in his unforgiving fist. When a Republic fleet fought to reclaim Korriban, Darth Marr drove them back in defeat. When the Republic attempted to conquer the Sith world of Ziost, Darth Marr destroyed the bold offensive. Tales spread through the Republic of the masked Dark Council member who routed whole armies and deflected assaults more thoroughly than any planetary shield.

In recent years, Darth Marr has tightened his grip on the Empire's domain. Defenses are fortified against the coming war, and woe is the Republic army that dares try to crack Marr's shield. But beneath Marr's armor lies a mind and body transformed by decades of immersion in the dark side. Stripped of emotions and most of his humanity, Darth Marr recognizes that his death is approaching. As his final legacy, Marr vows to ensure that the Empire is strong enough to survive long into the future.
