== Marcus Wolfrick Ninjarian ==
Marcus Wolfrik Ninjarian resided in Port-Solanaria in the old Rathnirian Bardonian Republic as an Inventor and prominent Blacksmith, brother of the Doge of the province of Solanum, and Grand Marshall of the Potaorder di Tubton, Syntheris Ninjarian-Vacy and brother to the traveling Monk, Rose Ninjarian.

== Marcus Pre-Biography ==
=== Name Origin and Epros lore dump ===
Marcus' forename derives from his Great Great Great Grand Father, Duke Marius "The Ruthless" Ninjarian IV of the Duchy of Epros which the name was changed for Marcus to sound more Bardonian and Rathnir-like to blend into the Ninjarian's new home. Marcus' middle name derives from his Grand Uncle, Wolfrik Ninjarian who was a mentor figure to Marcus' father, Ian Ninjarian. 
Years before the Great War—known also as the Emerald Crusades—shattered the peace, Wolfrik Ninjarian stirred the hearts of Eprosians by denouncing the corruption festering in Duke Ganery Undorus’ regime. As Wolfrik spoke passionately before a swelling crowd, his words ignited the flame of dissent, warning of an Epros under siege by its own vices. Alarmed by the rising unrest, Duke Ganery commanded his forces to arrest Wolfrik, branding him a traitor. However, a trial would never come as Ganery saw that a traitor such as Wolfrik was worthy of neither pity or mercy. At dawn, his severed head lay on the capital’s chopping block, awaiting the executioner. Thousands of shocked onlookers heard Wolfrik’s last words, spoken with a resigned sense of doom: “Pray to whichever god you worship; the natives of these lands, wronged and vengeful, shall rise in fury. There is nothing you can do to stop th—" his sentence was cut off as the blade snatched Wolfrik's head from his shoulders letting loose a river of crimson across the courtyard. 
Wolfrik’s execution served as a catalyst for the Iron Rebellion. Led by House Ninjarian, the noble families and their loyal guards, joined by outraged serfs and peasants, rose up against Duke Ganery's oppressive rule. In these years of strife, the Ninjarians forged their identity as champions of the common folk, committed to justice for all, from the lowliest serf to the wealthiest noble. But Epros’ struggles were far from over. After two brutal months of civil upheaval, the fractured duchy found itself vulnerable as the natives of the caverns and mountains of the isles foretold to come back for vengeance on Man and Dwarves arrived. They came under the more commonly known names of the Emerald Empire or the Smarian Empire to begin their holy crusade on the quote "Ancestral Invaders". This holy crusade was swift and merciless. Within three short months, the Emerald Empire swept through Epros, decimating its population, annihilating both the duchy and the Iron Rebellion. Most members of the Ninjarian family perished in the onslaught, leaving only a scattered few to escape north to Rathnir and Eldham. This lightning-fast campaign across one of Aelanon’s oldest kingdoms ignited an even fiercer war as the rest of the isles rallied to defend their lands or align with the invaders. 
== Marcus Biography ==
=== The Dandelist Empire of Bardonia/Early Life ===
Marcus was born in the late spring to early summer of 58 PEC during the reconstruction of Port Solanaria after its darkest and most hopeless time yet and the beginning of the brutal Second Westmarch War against The United Crowns of Syltor. Marcus spent most of his early childhood being raised along with his brother and sister solely by their mother, Annabeth. However, soon after Marcus' first couple years of life, Annabeth disappeared without a trace leaving most to think her dead and the family distraught and grieving, most especially Ian and Syntheris. After their mother's untimely disappearance, the three children would be loosely raised by Ian however due to the nature of his work especially during such a stressful and grueling time with the reconstruction and the Second Westmarch War well underway they were mainly raised by other prominent Solanarian people such as the Elder Potatoes and others. Marcus would take a liking from a young age to Elder PotatoMan Tomas and see him as much as a father and mentor as his own blood taking up much of PotatoMan's personality and mood during his childhood and even later befriending PotatoMan's son, Pratai Vacy. 
Under the care of the Elders, Marcus would become quite the scholar and inventor staying up into long nights reading history books on The Great Golden War, Trillium War, Allium-Coalition War, Ferrymen War, etc and spent an equal number of long nights creating inventions. While small at first merely being just toys to keep his mind busy they would eventually evolve into the mechanical marvels he produces today such as his brother's prosthetic arm.
