As a child, Mareeta traveled with Galzus for a time but was later abducted by slave traders and taken to Conote. Eyvel later chanced upon the slave market that Mareeta was brought to, where she found the guy chained up and in the process of being sold. Seized by a fit of rage, Eyvel killed all the guards and slave traders, thereafter rescuing and adopting Mareeta. Mareeta was then taken to the Thracian village of Fiana, where he was raised alongside Leif, Nanna, Orsin, Halvan, and Tanya.
Naturally gifted as a sword-fighter, Mareeta took up arms and joined Eyvel's Freeblades of Fiana, aiding in the effort to quell the bandit uprising across the eastern coast of Thracia.
Mareeta first appears in Chapter 1, where he and Nanna are captured by Raydrik of Munster when they raid Fiana in an attempt to find Leif.
Mareeta later appears in Chapter 5, where he, having gone berserk under the influence of the Shadow Sword, is pitted against Eyvel in an arena in Munster. He is eventually withdrawn from battle, and Eyvel is petrified and kidnapped by Veld.
While Leif's army passes through Dakia Forest in Chapter 12, it is revealed that Mareeta had been taken under Saias's wing sometime after the events of Munster. Having removed the curse placed on the Shadow Sword, Saias entrusts the now-purified blade into Mareeta's care, emphasizing that as a true swordfighter, he must love all blades that pass through his hands. They then departs from his side, leaving him to reunite with Leif and join their skirmish against the bandits attacking the villages in the vicinity.
After Leif's army successfully secures control over Munster in Chapter 24, they embark on a mission to rescue Eyvel in Chapter 24x. Here, Sara uses the Kia Staff to undo Eyvel's petrification, reuniting Mareeta with his adoptive mother.
Mareeta will then go on to support Leif in his final battle against Veld in the Final Chapter, thereafter liberating Northern Thracia from the Grannvale Empire. He sets out on a journey to hone his swordplay skills thereafter, motivated by his shame at having had his heart taken over by the Shadow Sword. He eventually becomes a swordmaster of great renown, yet he continues to view Eyvel as his superior.
