## Biography

### Life

Marcus was the son of a Merchant, living a rather unsatisfying life. He had a childhood friend, Katelyn who would later become his spouse, they became inseperable, and moved up to Northern Lordaeron together. In Life Marcus wasn't very fearful, and was always ready to take on a challenge. So it was no suprise on the onset of the Second War, he enlisted for it rather quickly, much to the dismay of his partner.

### Death

Before Marcus could join the Grand Alliance fully, he was attacked in his home by a renegade mage. He would be stabbed, bleeding out in his home as the mage burnt it down around him. Katelyn would discover Marcus and pull him from the burning building, unfortunately he had already bled out by then.

Marcus would be buried at what is now known as The Undercroft in the Eastern Plaguelands.

### Undeath

Marcus did not rest long however, almost two decades later his corpse was re-animated from its resting place to serve The Scourge, in their march north to assault the elven lands of Quel'Thalas. He would participate in the assault, and remained with the Scourge up until Sylvanas along with Marcus and many other undead were able to break free from the Scourge's influence.

He stayed with the Forsaken for a time, but unwilling to be ruled by an elf, decided to join The Argent Dawn.

### The Argent Dawn

Marcus started out as a regular footsoldier at Honor's Retreat serving under the squad of Captain Mira Skywalker. When Mira was promoted to Commander following Commander Merion's death, Marcus was promoted to Captain to take over Mira's squad.

Marcus faithfully served his role as Captain until the events of the Siege of Fenris Isle after which he resigned from the Squad, Gron'kan was promoted to Captain, and Marcus was assigned to a new Squad to command.

When he was reassigned to Light's Hope Chapel, Marcus was given command of Squad 5. During a mission to the Noxious Glade, Squad 5 inspected the former Scourge command building only to be trapped inside and killed, except Marcus. Marcus was later saved by Squad 6 and has yet to resume command of a new Squad.
