Overview	Magic Rank	Skills	Relationships
Marcus Scipio is the protagonist of Wild Dragon of Rome.
== History ==
Marcus was born as the bastard-son to the young lady of the Scipio House and an unknown father. His mother died while giving birth to him, and his grandfather, Quintus Scipio, never showed him affection, placing him under a harsh training regiment that could be considered torture, and encouraged Marcus's uncle and cousins to bully him, claiming that adversity made you strong. Quintus also insisted Marcus cultivate all four elements instead of focusing on one, a method that would eventually result in a far more powerful mage, but required significantly more talent, resources, and time to train. Unfortunately, his uncle despised him, and preferred to squander the family's remaining wealth on parties rather than spend any on Marcus's magic training. This resulted in Marcus being weaker than his cousins and other mages his age, despite having significantly more talent and skill, and far greater potential. 
== Personality ==
Marcus is very intelligent, always thinking and planning out his actions ahead. He is also very cautious and guarded towards new companions, not trusting easily. Lillian is the first person he felt he could be vulnerable around, feeling warmth that he's never had before, when he realizes that he could leave himself exposed to her and she wouldn't harm him. So once someone does win his trust, they have a special place in his heart, and he treasures them with great affection and care. Additionally, he felt touched by the respect Astrid has towards his boundaries, and the reverence she has for him as a "Holy Warriors", temping him to open up more towards her, but his cautious nature makes him take things slow.

After boarding a pirate ship to escape the island of Britannia,Chapter 6 he finds himself immersed in a conflict between an elite secret organization with ties to his uncle, that managed to kidnap Lillian Malone, and the pirates he joined, whose captain then stole Lillian from them.Chapter 8 When the pirates stop on an island to resupply and meet with Lillian's original kidnappers to trade her back to them, Marcus makes his escape by 'getting lost' during a boar attack on the supply expedition.Chapter 9 Then Lillian also sneaks away when the trade attempt fell apart and a battle broke out between the two forces.Chapter 10 
The two meet and after a brief misunderstanding, quickly become allies and plan to escape together.Chapter 11 But before they leave, Marcus intended to take advantage of the conflict to hide his breakthrough to the Third Order: Mage, knowing that it would greatly increase their chances of escaping successfully.Chapter 16 Unfortunately the breakthrough fails when his Dragon Heart activates and merges with his body, reforming into a membrane around his heart. Thankfully, Lillian is able to save his life by calming the raging Dragon Heart with a Druid blood ritualChapter 17 meant to calm the spirits absorbed by the Great Ancestral Trees.Chapter 29 Despite failing to break through and crippling (temporarily?) his ability to use Elemental Magic, Marcus finds his body has vastly improved, with his speed, strength, stamina, and endurance greatly increased. Overwhelmed by his new animalistic instincts and overflowing mana, the two agree to have sex, during which he is forced to ejaculate inside her, to prevent a mana spark from alerting near by elemental beast and enemies forces.Chapter 20B After this, Lillian realized she can increase her own strength as an Elemental Magic user, by absorbing his excess mana through internal ejaculation during his sexual climax. Additionally she implies, as a healer, she can prevent any unwanted pregnancies. Meaning it is better for both of them, if he Only ejaculates inside her.Chapter 21 
After stealing a rowboatChapter 22 from the secret organization and escaping the island together,Chapter 23 the pair realize returning to Britannia is too dangerous at this time, so Marcus rows towards Gaul. Before reaching land, they are attacked by the pirate ship, and Marcus kills the pirate captain while Lillian propels the boat to shore with her water magic.Chapter 26 After swimming ashore, he picks up Lillian and runs towards the border between Roman controlled Western Gaul and Germania, believing the unoccupied wilderness would be the safest place for them, and the rich mana there would make it easier for him to experiment to better understand and fix his current condition.Chapter 27 As they get closer to the border, Lillian notices his condition is getting worse, as he is rapidly beginning to transform into a beast, so she advised him to trade with a Germanic tribe, because their knowledge of Shapeshifting may help him handle his own situation. She also realizes that absorbing his mana during sex, not only helps her, but also helps slow his transformation.Chapter 31 
He rescues the Germanic Priestess, Astrid, from traitors who betrayed her tribe to become an auxiliary force of a Roman Legion, in exchange for learning how to use Elemental Magic.Chapter 34 After saving her, he brought her to his camp, where she was initially hostile towards Lillian, due to Astrid's hatred of Elemental Magic. But Marcus convinces Astrid to tolerate Lillian, by offering her a deal he knows she can't refuse: she teaches him shapeshifting for a month, and he helps her cross the Rhine River, to get out of Roman controlled territory.Chapter 36 Lillian manages to win her friendship after revealing she is a Druid. She then advised him to seduce Astrid, so she can teach him how to control his transformation, as well as assist Lillian in suppressing it, by "draining" his excess mana with her. Lillian also notes that after losing her tribe, Astrid has no where to return to, and after he saved her, she is already romantically interested in him. So Marcus agreed to seduce Astrid, and Lillian eagerly (she has a sharing and voyeurisms fetish) agreed to help him do so.Chapter 37 Which she does by telling Astrid the lie, "that Marcus has the passive ability to continuously draw mana from the environment" as well as the truth that "he needs to have his mana regularly drained through sex, and doing so strengthens his partners' magic." She also frequently has sex with Marcus within Astrid's hearing range, and pretends not to notice while she secretly watches. Then finally, she fakes being angry and creates arguments with Astrid, with the intention of pushing her into Marcus's arms.
