Don Marco

==Background==
Don Agopito Marco De la Juan was born in Pito, a small town in Pegador, Rhutalath. His mother was a herbalist and she never told Don who his father was- though there was talk in the village that his father was the local priest, or a demon, or a mercenary soldier.
Because of his heritage, the other children avoided Don. The parents also avoided his mother despite the fact that she helped them with healing herbs and other potions.
When an Inquisitor passed through the town he tried to seduce Don Marco's mother. She refused his advances and, when that didn't work, he turned violent. Don tried to help his mother and attacked the Inquisitor. The pair drove him off. The next day a mob turned up and Don Marco and his mother were accused of using magic. They were sentenced to death.
Don Marco's mother started a fight in order to help her son get away. His last sight of his mother was her being swamped by the mob. Don ran until he reached Larido. He started living on the streets was taken in by a beggar by the name blind tom. Tom was a good thief and he knew some illusion magic which helped him pick-pocket people.
Don learned from Tom and soon realized that his skill as a thief, as well as his illusion magic, could be used for more than pick-pocketing. Eventually Don realised that he should move on. He left Rhutalth and headed out into the world. He became a specialist thief, stealing spell-books and other magical artifacts for anyone who would hire him.

==Current Adventures==
Following many adventures (including the Crown of the Shadowmage), Don Marco found himself destitute in Atlantea. His friend, Emperor Theos, granted him a small residence in the merchants quarter, for Don Marco to do whatever business he wanted. He also granted Don Marco 1000gp for overheads; all of this was under the condition that Don Marco perform a simple task for him: He had to deliver a letter to Master Korin in Pandarat. A simple, safe task. Upon delivery of the letter, unopened, Don Marco would receive the money he was promised.
So Don Marco left his faithful friend Marguette in charge of the new premises, as a secretary, and left on a 3 month voyage to Pandarat, to deliver a letter which for some reason couldn't be trusted with a simple messenger!
