Contents 1 Biography 2 Personality 3 Relationships 4 Gameplay 5 Dialogue 6 Trivia 7 Stats and equipment Biography[] Marnid was a Geroian merchant who mounted a trade caravan, hoping to do business in Sargoth. Along the way the caravan was ambushed by Khergit raiders, who took most of the goods. What was left of the caravan eventually reached Calradia, but the men hired to guard it took whatever was left of the goods and left. With his caravan gone and no other options, Marnid went to a tavern and began drinking away the last of his coin. That is where he met the player character and potentially found employment. Personality[] Marnid is a merchant who respects peaceful endeavors, such as trade, and has a decent grasp of economics. He is not a prejudiced individual, as he looks past the Nord stereotype of being bloodthirsty raiders for their skill as traders and does not hold any specific hatred for the Khergits despite them raiding his caravan, even making friends with Borcha, who is a thief from the Khergit Khanate. He particularly dislikes being looked down on or disrespected, holding grudges against people that do so. Relationships[] Alayen - Marnid dislikes Alayen for disrespecting his abilities on the battlefield and telling him that fighting on the front line of battle "is knight's work". Baheshtur - Marnid hates Baheshtur for bragging about and desiring to raid caravans, which he sees as disrespecting good, honest trade as a way of living. Borcha - Marnid likes Borcha for his trustworthiness in combat, but is still cautious of his thieving behavior. Gameplay[] As a party member, Marnid is level 1, allowing a fair amount of quick customization to different roles, but his total attributes are also 1 less than the similarly low level Ymira. If elevated to lordship, Marnid will recruit whatever troops are available in his fiefs, regardless of nationality. Dialogue[] Main article: Marnid/Interactions Trivia[] Marnid - alongside Borcha and Ymira - is one of the oldest companions in Mount&Blade and its sequel Warband, being introduced in version 0.202 (Warrider). In Warrider, when first meeting the player character, he introduced himself as 'Marnid Rhaleis'. Likewise in Warrider, instead of Sargoth, he intended to sell his goods in a place called Larechia. After King Larec was replaced with King Harlaus as the ruler of Swadia in version 0.704 or earlier, 'Larechia' was replaced with 'Harlaushia' as Marnid's original destination. In Warrider, when encountering ghouls the player character would suggest that they should eat Marnid's pork stew, a suggestion that they would always dismiss in favour of human flesh.
