Yorick B. Marrow

An artist's rendition of Yorick B. Marrow.

The New Legion (Founder)

**Yorick B. Marrow** is a skeleton fighter within the Fantasy Universe. Most prominently, he was a member of the Ancient Eight, a group tasked with protecting the Ezkilo Dagger, and was a spy for the Legion of the Undead. He made his first and only appearance in Tale of the Ancient Eight, but was mentioned by Linmer-Beef in Rise of the Demon King.

Yorick's past is shrouded in mystery; with most of his extensive past continuing to be unknown. After working closely with the Legion of the Undead, he infiltrated the Ancient Eight with Wall-Beef as a spy. The two conspired to get their hands on the Orb of the Overworld, and succeeded in stealing it without the notice of their party. However, the two ended up becoming fully-dedicated members of the Ancient Eight and contributed to the destruction of the original Order of the Naf'Si. In both timelines, Yorick becomes the leader of the Legion of the Undead. In the main timeline, he later founds the New Legion with Wall-Beef and Aggra Nazul.

He is a player character played by the Noah Soul.

## Appearance

Yorick is a skeleton of short stature (although he will very much disagree with you). He has no prominent features, and has managed to keep his bones intact despite his aggressive nature.

### **Tale of the Ancient Eight**

Over the course of the campaign, Yorick loses his right forearm to Cuddles, a celestial deer of some sort. As time goes on, Yorick sprouts a flower at the end of the bone that slowly grows into a fully-fledged plant arm that later extends into the back of Yorick's spine and roots itself in his skull. A flow eventually grows in one of his eye sockets. Yorick loses the arm after sacrificing it to give life to Farren the Oaken once again during Chapter 6. However, he was able to grow it back over the next few years.

He also obtains the Diamond of Israfel in the latter-half of the campaign, a large, dark-purple gem which he places within his left eye socket and stores it there. It allows him to merge his physical form with other members of his party.
