TODO

**Marak Goldenfield** was an identity assumed by Devil-King around 1051 SC. It was with this identity that Mephiston befriended and then married Malvina Dolora only to break her heart later.

## Before being replaced by Mephiston

Marak Goldenfield was a modest and unassuming book merchant who plied his trade in the town of Lamenthollow. In the quiet corners of his quaint bookstore, he led a simple and unremarkable life, his days spent surrounded by the musty scent of ancient tomes and the soft rustle of parchment.

Unbeknownst to those around him, Marak harbored a secret affection for Malvina Dolora, a passion he concealed behind the pages of the volumes he peddled. His unspoken love for the woman who would later found the Dominion of Dolora remained a poignant chapter in his unassuming existence.

## As Mephiston

At some undetermined point in time in the year 1051 the Devil-King arrived to Mortal Realm and dissolved Marak into ashes in an instant. Then Mephiston assumed Marak's identity.

As Mephiston was much more confident than real Marak, he quickly approached and befriended Malvina Dolora. They shared love for knowledge and research, and their friendship grew stronger over the course of next several month, until eventually it turned into love.

They married on 12 of July of 1052. And after just a couple of months, on 19 of September same year Malvina got pregnant. She immediately shared this news with Marak, only for him to laugh at her face and reveal his true identity. He desintegrated Malvina's unborn child right in her whomb, leaving her betrayed and heartbroken.

That was the last time anyone ever saw Marak Goldenfield.

## Appearance

Marak Goldenfield had fiery ginger hair that cascaded wildly around his face, giving him an untamed and somewhat eccentric appearance. His fiery mane was complemented by a neatly groomed ginger mustache that adorned his upper lip. Behind a pair of round glasses, his eyes were a shade of warm hazel, often gazing inquisitively at the pages of the books he treasured.

Despite his unique features, Marak carried himself with a shy and unassuming demeanor, his presence often fading into the background of his modest bookstore. He was a man whose vibrant hair and gentle gaze belied a quiet and contemplative nature.

## Personality

Marak Goldenfield was a gentle soul, marked by a kind-hearted and thoughtful nature. He embodied humility and tended to avoid the limelight, preferring the solace of his books. Shyness wrapped around him like a protective cloak, making it challenging for him to initiate conversations or assert himself in social settings. However, within the pages of a book, he found his true voice.

An avid reader and a lover of knowledge, Marak was deeply curious about the mysteries of the world. He possessed a passionate intellect, always seeking to delve deeper into the stories and ideas that captivated him. His interactions were laced with a genuine warmth, making those who knew him feel at ease in his presence. While he hid his affections for Malvina Dolora behind a veil of reticence, his love for her remained a powerful undercurrent in his life, driving his actions and dreams.

### As Mephiston

Following the assumption of his identity by Mephiston, Marak Goldenfield underwent a subtle yet profound transformation. Though the core of his personality remained intact, a newfound confidence began to emanate from his being. This newfound self-assuredness allowed him to charm those around him, including the object of his affection, Malvina Dolora.

Marak, now Mephiston in disguise, continued to maintain the façade of a decent and charming human being. He retained his gentle and courteous demeanor, skillfully concealing his true malevolent nature. His interactions with others became more polished, his words more persuasive, and his presence more captivating.
