However, that’s not the case when others offend or try to hurt his friends, in that case, Marko can get really defensive. Marko has always been a really organized person, so much so that it can get annoying to others.

== Biography ==
=== Early life ===
Marko was born in a small village called Branor, his parents were 2 miners called Eleiani Campari and Guzea Campari. The village was specialized in blacksmithing, so since at a very young age he would watch the students of the best blacksmith in the village, Tanor Eliyas, learning and practicing. And one day, he asked Tanor if he could watch the classes as well. Seeing such a young boy (Marko was 6 at that time) interested in blacksmithing made Tanor happy, and he allowed Marko to watch his classes for free. The first thing that Marko forged was an iron flower, which Tanor urged him to keep. Marko kept going to the classes daily, and each week he would forge something new and show it to Tanor, who would be very impressed at how fast Marko was improving. Marko watched the classes until he was 18.
=== Tragedy ===
But one day, when Marko was leaving the blacksmith after one of Tanor’s classes, he got the news that his parents had died when the cave they were in collapsed. Marko, hearing the news, ran home and locked himself in his room for 2 days, crying and mourning, and only left the room at the funeral. When he arrived at the funeral, he could see that the people were whispering and looking at him. He thought that they were making fun of him, like they always did, and that just made him more paranoid. 
    After the funeral, Marko locked himself in his room again and stayed like that for 3 days. On the evening of the 3rd day, he looked outside the window and saw a big ship. Seeing the ship, he knew what he wanted to do. Marko got up, grabbed his cloak, his bag full of the tools he forged, some food and the iron flower that he forged. Before going to the ship, he went to Tanor’s blacksmith and left the iron flower there as a thank you gift. He then ran to the ship and offered his work for the captain, called Loque Dideus, who accepted the offer. Marko then started living as a merchant.
=== Merchant life ===
Marko’s life as a merchant was hard. Once, their ship was stopped by pirates that were trying to steal the materials that they were going to sell. The captain was able to defend the ship and the crew, but Marko was left with a scar on his face. Apart from the pirates, sometimes they just couldn’t sell anything, being left hungry until the next day, that is, if they could sell something the next day.
=== Arrival at The Geld ===
After 2 years of living as a merchant, Loque’s ship was sailing to a land called Geltrijck Handelsrijck. When they arrived, they were received with a warm welcome and many people wanting to buy their goods. Looking around the place and its beauty, Marko finally felt at home after a long time. He called the ship’s captain and said that he would be staying there, but the captain refused to let him go without something in return, so Marko gave all the tools that he forged while travelling, and Loque let him go.
    When he stepped foot on the nation, he started to wander around, exploring the beauties of The Geld. When he got tired of exploring the nation, he started to search for a place to live, however, he quickly realized that he had no money to buy a house, so he instead went after a job. During his first months at The Geldwas doing different jobs for the people there and sleeping in the streets. After all of that, he was able to get enough money to buy a small house in the nation, and has been living there since.
