Marcus

**Marcus** was the final pre-merger in Mythvivor: Takachiho and the Hero of the Season in Mythvivor: Rome - Fans vs. Favorites.

## Takachiho

Marcus started Mythvivor: Takachiho on the Susanoo tribe, which did not attend tribal council. In "I Am Not Rude, You Are Wrong?!," Marcus then swapped onto the Tanuki tribe. The tribe would avoid the first couple of tribal councils before the Boat Tour twist. During the Boat Tour twist, Marcus joined the Teshio boat, where he won his boat's challenge.

Following the Boat Tour twist, Marcus rejoined Tanuki. In "I JINXED IT," Marcus was celebratory of how it appeared he would not attend any tribal councils during the pre-merge portion of the game. However, Tanuki lost the Brain Teaser challenge. At Tanuki's tribal council, while Arceus and Dennis were both targets, Marcus was targeted for being a threat, and was blindsided by Arceus, Dennis, Maggi, and Ocean. Marcus won Most Robbed Pre-Juror as he was playing a great game and was expected to go far if Tanuki did not attend that final 13 tribal council. He also won the Host Favorite Award from Evan.

## Rome

Marcus started Mythvivor: Rome - Fans vs. Favorites on the Romulus tribe, also known as the "Favorites" tribe. Marcus quickly found himself in a strong position in the tribe and built a strong duo with Maibelle. He first joined the tribe in voting out Ravr, who really distrusted him. When both tribes attended tribal council in "Fly Too Close to the Sun," Marcus joined a majority alliance created by Anna with Joe, Koopa, Ross, and Shep. He let Maibelle, who was on the bottom, know how much trouble he was in. They were able to ensure that the vote ended up on Cole. However, their luck ran out when the Favorites had to go to another tribal council. Seeing no way to save him, Marcus voted out Maibelle.

Marcus then swapped onto the Romulus 2 tribe where the former Favorites had a 6-2 majority. He felt very skeptical about the former Fan, Space. However, this tribe never attended a tribal council.

During the Foro Romano twist, Marcus won immunity and officially became a member of the merged Bellona tribe. He had planned on voting Space out with his fellow Favorites, but Aidan had flipped and voted out Ross instead. Marcus worked with his fellow Favorites to recover. While the former Fans and Aidan had planned to vote Marcus out, Marcus and his allies were able to loop in Add and Dumb to vote out TJ instead. In "Happy Birthday Buddy," Aidan had been seen as a potential target, but the Favorites eventually settled on voting out Add with the former Fans. Marcus wasn't thrilled about this plan, and was relieved when Add idoled out Anna instead.

In "This One’s for the Kids," Marcus and Joe had felt concerned about Dumb's duo with Add and bond with Koopa, who Marcus had begun to feel was drifting apart from himself and Joe. Marcus worked with Max, Joe, and La Pinner to target Dumb. On the flip side, Add, Koopa, and Space had begun targeting Max. Marcus was a large part in convincing Aidan, who was in the middle, to eventually flip against Dumb. This meant that Marcus's alliance and a frustrated Koopa had the numbers to vote out Add the following round. At the following tribal council, Marcus strongly suspected that Koopa had an immunity idol. However, he decided to vote against Koopa anyway to ensure that the idol was flushed.

In "Easily Preventable," Joe won individual immunity, and it was clear that Marcus would become a target by the 3 former Fans who were left: Max, La Pinner, and Space. However, Joe and Marcus were able to get Koopa on board to vote with them. They then hatched a plan. Koopa and Marcus convinced Space that they would help him pull off a big move to vote out one of his biggest rivals: Max. They claimed that the three of them would vote Max and pull off a 3-2-1. However, instead, Marcus, Space and Joe voted for Space and pulled a 3-2-1 off against him.

At the start of the finale, Marcus knew that they need to beat Joe in the immunity challenge. However, when Joe won immunity, Marcus felt he had no chance for survival and expressed his feeling of defeat in tribal chat. Eventually, he did get La Pinner on board to vote out Koopa, but they were unable to get Max on board, and Marcus was sent out of the game.

Marcus was well known for his relatively strong reads throughout the game. At the reunion, he won Hero of the Season for being a heroic, grounded player with great reads in a chaotic game. He also won the Host Favorite Award from Norah for his wholesome gameplay and great confessionals throughout the game. He also won the Best Alliance Award with Koopa and Joe for the Mushroom Kingdom alliance. He also won Best Move with them for their 3-2-1 vote out of Space at the final 6.
