Kleya Marki is a clandestine operative in the Star Wars series Andor, serving as the sharp-eyed, iron-nerved assistant to Luthen Rael at the antique shop "Galerie Rael" on Coruscant. Beneath the façade of a quiet shopkeeper lies a coldly efficient rebel intelligence officer, overseeing logistics, dead drops, and asset handling with calculated precision. Kleya operates with quiet authority, rarely revealing emotion but exuding an air of barely restrained tension. Her loyalty to the cause is unquestionable, though her methods—pragmatic, sometimes ruthless—place her among the Rebellion's most enigmatic figures.
Kleya is portrayed by Elizabeth Dulau, a British actress known for her nuanced and disciplined performances. Dulau brings a striking presence to the role, anchoring Kleya with a compelling blend of emotional restraint and internal steel. Her ability to convey silent calculation through body language and microexpressions lends depth to a character who speaks little, but sees everything. Dulau’s performance has drawn acclaim for embodying the paranoia, sacrifice, and isolation inherent to life within the Rebellion’s shadowy early cells.
