Marcus has lightly tanned skin from many hours spent in the tropical sun of his home. His eyes are a sea green that sparkle with a luminescence reminiscent of gems. His form is built and broad, it is obvious he is no stranger to hard work and his physical form represents that. He has some age lines creasing his face, a few cause by the stress of his early years in war and politics. His once dark ebony hair now has streaks of grey run through it, his age catching up to him.

He has a relatively low amount of scarring for a man of his age. The most notable is a vertical slash on the left corner of his mouth, about two inches in length. Just peaking above his upper and lower lips.

The symbol of his house is tattooed onto his shoulder. Waves crashing against rocks

## Biography

The Marquisate of Falkirk is a new marquisette located off the coast of Southern Stranglethorn on the island of Falkirk. It relies primarily on trade for sustenance, thus employing a standing guard to protect its seafaring patrons from pirates. Though the island itself has shown to have a natural abundance of sapphires in its rivers as well.

The island of Falkirk was settled quite a bit ago by two warring houses. On the northern part of the island was House Volandi. A house built upon arcane knowledge and pure bloodline, they established the Viscount of Falkirk. On the other side of the island was House Rivers, who established the Barony of Fallkirk. Angered by each others presence and mockery of how to spell the islands name, the two waged war for many years.

War was finally stopped when the Barony of Fallkirk reached the gates of Jonth Keep and demanded that House Volandi agrees to the terms of surrender. Under those terms, Jonth Volandi would marry Marcus Rivers to merge the Houses into the Marquisette of Falkirk. It is rumored that Jonth request that the name of the island be kept Falkirk as a sign of new peace between the two.

When the war between houses broke out he quickly surged forward to lead his people in defeating their most bitter enemy. Quickly rising through the ranks with his tactical know how and his political skill. Uniting his nations people under one banner was the one dream he always had. Finally achieving it in 612 K.Y. Giving his people one flag to unite under and move forward with.
