Marcus Orville

The idealistic and brilliant founding leader of the Freemen, Marcus' parents fled with him from Arcadia to his mother's homeland of Ossiria at a young age to escape Imperial conquest. When, as a young man, Imperial forces landed on the shores of his new home, Marcus already recognized the signs of a failed defense. Rallying those he could, particularly many other Arcadian refugees, he lead a great migration across the Ossirian Dunes, utilizing his keen mind and technology to avoid Imperial pursuit—a decision which would end up halting the Imperial crusade as they attempted to chase the carvan through the deadly terrain. Hailed as a hero, Marcus was elected to lead the refugees as they resettled in what would become Navia. There, his business acumen and optimistic worldview would be etched into the consciousness of the Freemen, founding Navian Telesis and the Orville Trading Company. Unfortunately, his untimely death was brought about by the assassin Karl Dartinson. Although it was never proven who hired the killer, it is rumored that members of his own Board of Directors orchestrated his death to secure control of his company and stymie the spread of his philosophy.
