## Biography

### Early childhood

Marco Paulo Carvalho Reis was born to Tashi and Cruz, two Dark Fae with a desire to realign themselves with their natural elements, Fire and Wind. His parents, Cruz and Tashi, were born in the Fae Realm. Because they, themselves, come from Dark Fae with certain interests they found one another at Olympus Academy. Their mutual attraction to one another and the dark side was a bond for them and they both sought to explore it further. When their time at Olympus Academy came to and end they returned to the Fae Realm together. They were married nearly 1000 years later after their return. They spent another 500 years after their nuptials practicing dark magic in the mortal world before they had their son, Marcos.

Before Marcos was born Tashi and Cruz returned to the Fae Realm once again hoping their original home world would imbue him with one of the elements they were once connected to. It worked exactly as they has expected and Marcos was born an Wind Fae. Shortly after his birth the two Dark Fae that bore him were banished, they were left with the choice to leave their innocent son in the care of those who wanted them exiled and taking him along with them. They chose to keep him and rather than accept their punishment for all the dark deeds they had done in the past they escaped through a portal ending up in Portugal in the 1740's. The both took mortal surnames that were bequeathed to Marcos as is customary where they were at the time.

### Olympus Academy Years

He was barely into his late 270's when his parents told him he needed to be educated. After a mere nine human years had passed, he left the only home that he knew as Joseph I of Portugal was crowned in 1749. His parents were unable to instruct him in the many advantages of his Wind abilities being that they lacked in such power due to their dark turn. Beginning his training within the safe haven that is Olympus Academy he spent sixty mortal years strengthening the elemental connection he has to Wind. He enjoyed his time at the Academy more than he cares to admit, being surrounded by various species of supernaturals made him look at his life among mortals from a different perspective.

It was only after learning that his mother had been murdered by an unknown assailant that he chose to leave and never return. His father having made the exact same decision. The two men were bound by grief, rather than face it they both chose to run from it. Fleeing to remote locations all over the world never able to free themselves of the loss of Tashi.

## Personality and traits

He seems to a stoic and rather droll sort of person. It's an act that he's perfected because he's actually humorous, excitable, and playful. He likes to give people the first impression that he is someone that deserves to be respected, because he is. But he also enjoys the reaction he gets when he turns that first impression sideways. After he's revealed his inner self the first impression is usually tossed out the window, the possibility of him being seen that one way is gone.

Despite his sometimes goofy and immature antics he is quite the academic. He is self taught in a a dozen different languages, he's rubbed elbows with some of the most brilliant mortals and been able to hold his own in conversation. He has a sharp mind and a silver tongue. He's got an internalized motivation that allows him to be an excellent multi-tasker. While he does have an astounding capability to juggle more than one task at any given time, he can be a bit scattered and easily lose focus.
