Marques Ikamuzu

Marques surround by The Secret of Magic

**Marques** is a Male Kitsune and Historian who is affiliated with The Leviathan Crew. He first appeared in Book 1 and is currently Alive.

## Appearance

Marques is a kitsune male with striking black hair and his fur is a blend of grey and silver, with a metallic sheen that reflects the light in an almost mesmerizing manner.

Marques wears a fitted vest made of blue and gray leather that has been stitched together with green metallic thread, and is adorned with brass buttons. The vest is worn over a white, ruffled shirt with a high collar and cuffs. The rest of his outfit consists of fitted trousers made of sturdy, dark fabric, and knee-high boots made of black leather with silver buckles.

The kitsune carries with him a variety of magical artifacts, including a set of metallic throwing knives with green gemstone accents and a cane made of brass and wood, which doubles as a wand for casting spells. Marques’ magical abilities are often accompanied by the subtle whirring and ticking of mechanical parts, indicating that he has incorporated steampunk elements into his magical tools.

His piercing green eyes often flicker with an otherworldly energy, and his movements are graceful and fluid, as if he is always in perfect control of his body and surroundings. Overall, Marques exudes an air of mystery and power, making him a formidable force to be reckoned with in any steampunk-fantasy setting

## Personality

Despite his intimidating appearance and impressive magical abilities, Marques is a kitsune with a surprisingly cowardly personality. He is easily frightened by unexpected noises or sudden movements, and often tries to avoid confrontation whenever possible.

However, when pushed to his limits, Marques can become surprisingly strong and resilient. He is able to draw upon his magical talents to defend himself and those he cares about, using his extensive knowledge of illusionary magic to create convincing distractions and misdirections that can fool even the most astute of opponents.

Despite his fearfulness, Marques is fiercely loyal to his friends and allies. He will go to great lengths to protect them, even if it means putting himself in harm's way. His cowardly demeanor is often misinterpreted as weakness, but those who underestimate him quickly learn the error of their ways.

When forced into a confrontation, Marques may initially hesitate, but he quickly rises to the occasion, drawing upon his inner strength and determination to overcome whatever obstacle stands in his way. His cowardly personality is simply a mask that he wears to protect himself from the dangers of the world, but beneath that mask lies a powerful and resourceful kitsune who will stop at nothing to protect those he cares about

## Background

Marques' backstory is a tragic one. He was abandoned as a young kitsune, left at the doorstep of a magical library by unknown parents who never returned. The mages who ran the library took him in and raised him as their own, teaching him everything they knew about magic and the arcane arts.

Despite the love and care he received from the mages, Marques always felt like an outsider. His fellow apprentices were all human, and he was the only kitsune among them. As he grew older, Marques began to feel a sense of restlessness, a longing to discover his true purpose in life beyond the walls of the library.

One fateful day, Marques discovered that he was indebted to a powerful otherworldly being, the result of a botched spell he had attempted to cast in secret. Desperate to repay his debt and avoid the consequences of his actions, Marques left the safety of the library and set out on a journey to find his destiny.

It was during his travels that Marques stumbled upon Nick and the Leviathan Crew. Intrigued by their reputation as successful adventurers and treasure hunters, Marques decided to join their crew in the hopes of making a fortune and finally repaying his debt to the otherworldly being.

As he travels with the crew, Marques continues to hone his magical abilities and learns to embrace his inner strength and courage. Although his past has left him with a sense of fear and insecurity, he is determined to prove himself to his new companions and make a name for himself as a skilled and valuable member of the Leviathan Crew
