Gorigo Marca

Gorigo Marca was a Duscadorian general and politican who served as the sixth Presidian of Duscador from 648 to 660 A.S. Under his rule, Duscador reached its greatest size, expanding as far west as Neverrun and northeast to the Candar Line by 650 A.S, and enjoyed a great deal of military success. Marca was known for his bravery on the battlefield, leading multiple charges himself in the First Duscadorian-Sevician War and the War of Six Houses. In his personal life, Marca was quiet and unassuming, and preferred to leave matters of state to the Duscador Council.
Marca ruled over Duscador during the War of Six Houses (655 - 657 A.S), a short-lived civil conflict between six of the prominent ruling houses in Duscador. Though considered a civil war, it was largely contained to minor skirmishes and non-violent conflicts, and was resolved in a peace treaty in 657, signed by all six houses, acknowleding Marca as the supreme ruler of Duscador.
Marca married Lady Melita of Manalpa in 626, with whom he had three children, two sons and a daughter. Lady Melita died in 641, and three years later Marca married Lady Demna of Tyno. His third son, and first and only child with Lady Demna, died in childbirth. Marca ruled Duscador as Presidian for two full elected terms, twelve years, from 648 to 660. He was succeeded in the role by Hanno III, and retired from political life a year later, after serving as acting governor of the town of Namarat. He passed away in 664 at the age of 61, from complications brought on by pneumonia, and was succeeded by his three living children and one wife, Lady Demna.
