Marcus of Andria

Marcus was an easy-going Elpian mercenary that accompanied a trade caravan early during the Northern War, later joining an Imperial unti, but ended up perishing at the hands of Saego Vetaa.

Appearance
Marcus was a regular-looking if slightly heavy-set young man of brown hair. He wore a lammellar vest and a visorless bascinet helm, also carrying a rather outdated smoothbore musket with him, as his primary armament.

Personality
Marcus was amicable, easygoing and lively. He had a fondness of firearms and a childish urge to use them, which was what had led him into a life of mercenary work. He was impressed by Yuliko's proficiency with them and her possession of an advanced archeorifle. He also had a desire to fight for humanity, borne out of idealistic distaste for the elves perceived shadowy hegemony.

Before the events of the campaign
Marcus was born in Andria as the son of a farmer, that owned mostly vineyards and lived a boring, regular life. However he was displeased with the elves and their abuse of mankind, and also unfond of his lot in life. This made him sell his share of his father's vineyards, given to him to by his father to teach him his trade and buy a rifle. He then hooked up with a trading caravan going north in order to somehow fight in the war brewing between the Empire and the Earth-Domain.

Tannavet Arc
He was encountered by The Grey Ghost and Yuliko during their travel towards Tannavet, with them blending into the caravan he was guarding. He and Yuliko got along, with the elf showing him her firearms and talking to him about his motivations for becoming a mercenary. The group parted ways with him shortly after. After that he had left the caravan and gotten himself into a mercenary auxilia for the Empire, with which he was sent to assault through Vestaad and towards Tannavet. Unfortunately for him his unit was intercepted by Saego Vetaa and annihilated with some sort of powerful magic. He was found shortly after by Kaus and Yuliko, but even with the Doomsman's favor could not be brought back to life. His musket was collected by Yuliko as a token of her respect and friendship to him, after he aspired, his body turned white and frail by the Moonshards' sickly glow.
