## Description

His primary cloths are his work uniform, which consist of black body armour and a black helmet with a semi-transparent visor for eye protection.

## History

Marco was the head security guard sent along with Lady Ethel Malory and her personal assisted on their air trip to recover Riot Maidstone from The Hallowoods.

### Season 1

**Marco Torres**, head security guard at the Botulus Corporation, is assigned to accompany Lady Ethel Mallory and Brooklyn Williams on their mission to the Hallowoods to collect Riot Maidstone. He is not yet disillusioned to Ethel's media personality, but upon his first introduction to Brooklyn he witnesses her deliver Ethel a caged dove which Ethel kills (Marco at no point saw Ethel during this interaction). Sometime later Brooklyn and Marco bond over working at Botco, when their aircraft is attacked giant flies, they initially attempt to fight them off, however Ethel leaves her quarters and tells them not to, as she wanted to keep two of them as pets.

Marco, Brooklyn and Ethel - watching through a camera - witness Solomon Reed kidnap Riot and the snowstorm summoned by Olivier Song. Ethel takes an interest in Solomon, telling Marco and Brooklyn that she wanted his instruments and that this was now more important than collecting Riot. She returns to her quarters and Marco and Brooklyn share a moment, Brooklyn explaining to him Ethel had been working on something that Brooklyn wasn't allowed to tell him about, but Solomon's instruments could be beneficial. Later, in Dreaming Box Polaris, Marco convinces Brooklyn to go onto the roof with him for fresh air, where he expresses to her his unease with what was happening with Ethel and Solomon (see Episode 25 - Spiders), that he didn't understand why Valerie Maidstone was such a big deal, and why they were leaving Riot with Solomon. Brooklyn reminds him that he was not there to make calls, that Botco would replace him if they felt he could not be trusted. She asks him to keep his head down and to stop asking questions. They two embraces, and Marco explains to her that he is polyamorous but him seeking a romantic relationship with her is allowed, before the two go back to work.

Marco and Brooklyn stand by in the aircraft as Ethel stands outside Solomon's house completing her dealings with him. The two of them commentating through the conversation, until Ethel gets fed up with them at the arrival of Clara Martin and Marco's exasperation at her Broomstick that she mutes them. Ethel completes her conversation with Clara and her dealings with Solomon, but when she unmutes them, they quickly explain to her that Clara was Riot's girlfriend. Sometime after, Marco and Brooklyn sit on the hull of the air carries leaving the Hallowoods, Brooklyn in the Prime Dream and Marco reflecting on the past few weeks, understanding that he would be unable to go back to his normal life.

## Relationships

### Brooklyn Williams

Brooklyn Williams was Marco's co-worker, though over the course of their time together they had a blossoming romance that climaxed in them deciding to leave BotCo together. However, this plan failed, resulting in Marco's capture. Brooklyn rescued him (as well as Riot and Valerie Maidstone) with the help of The Stonemaids.

### Lady Ethel Mallory

Lady Ethel Mallory was Marco's boss, though when he attempted to escape Botco she changed titles to captor after she stuck her pet flies on him to prevent him for escaping.

### Mandy

Mandy (no last name provided) was one of Marco's partners, though he indirectly broke up with her when he decided to leave Botco. Her only personality description is that she enjoys fantasy, and by association from Marco saying that making him laugh was his only qualification, also funny (at least to Marco).

### Devon

Devon (no last name provided) was one of Marco's partners, though he indirectly broke up with him when he decided to leave Botco. Devon's only personality description is that he makes Marco laugh.

### Riot Maidstone

Riot doesn't overly like Marco or Brooklyn. This is for a number of reasons, because they helped Lady Ethel hunt them (despite them having left Botco of their own accord), she finds their public displays of physical affection nauseating and describes it as if they were 'were enacting some pioneer fantasy together'. She also thinks that she might dislike them because they remind her of herself and Clara Martin (see Episode 48 - Revelations).

## Trivia

* Marco is referred to by Nikignik as "*One who knows these dreams, for he sleeps with his visor off*", which implies that he is one of the In Universe Dreamers, though he doesn't seem to be aware of this.
