**Marcus Windaguard** (born Marcus Cedric Peter Barlow Windaguard) was King of Analeas and the first Emperor of the Analeasian Empire from November 4th 1901 until his death exactly four years later on the same day in 1905. Although his reign existed for only four years, his impact on the political and cultural status of Analeas remains seen today. His reign came to be following the surprise abdication of his niece, Queen Lilliana.

Born as the younger of two twins to Benjamin, Prince of Azulia and Hannah, Princess of Azulia, Marcus was not anticipated to take over as King of the empire, however many historians cannot verify whether or Juliana, the foretold older of the two, or Benjamin truly were the first and true of the heirs. He was born during the reign of his Great-Uncle James, who had designated the succession to his grandmother's line. Marcus was a true symbol of nationalism within the country, and his affinity to serve saw no bounds. He was educated in the Oligard Boarding School, where his father and grandfather had all gone to school before. To prevent any future fears of heirs not being elgible by any means for the throne, Prince Benjamin would end up having 6 children, all of which were to preserve the future of the Windaguard line would surely be through him. With that said, Marcus grew up with many siblings. Juliana was the oldest and therefore was obligated to a different set of rules in terms of education. She was one day expected to become Queen and therefore had responsibilities outside of various studies. His younger brother Colter was like him in national pride, his sister Naomi would one day be the wife of the King of Temprica, and his younger twin brothers Carter and Johnathan were given estates to watch over in regional areas as time went on. With that said, the thing Marcus wanted more than anything was his a realm of his own, and above all else, he wanted his sister's birthright.

When King James passed away in 1864, Marcus' father became King of Analeas amid growing international tensions relating to the market of medicine circulating the globe. As he was not an heir, his father would be more willing to teach his eldest son in the ways of war, and to prepare him for potential military campaigns in the future, which would help fuel his knowledge and hunger for war and conquest. Whilst at the academy, he would meet his future wife, Chelsea, Duchess of Martiso, whom he fell in love with. When he turned 16, he would be admitted into the marines academy for potential assignment and conscription in the Analeasian Army of Marines. After turning 18, he married Chelsea and the two would have a son shortly after: Jacob. Shortly after his son's birth, Marcus would be stationed overseas to fight in the newfound conflict of the Great Alarian War, and would leave his family to fight for his country.
