## Life

### Early Life

Being born on 83 A.C. Marq was one of two Marks/Marqs. Coming into the world as a twin, Lord Tarth deemed the first babe be named Mark leaving the naming of his third born son up to his slumbering wife. But when his lord father left, the midwife turned around and was struck with a strange sense of confusion. Turning around she could not remember which babe was born first, so panicking she named him Marq, while naming his twin brother Mark to appease her lord. Sadly she was let go within a moon, but the damage was done. So began the ballad of the brothers Marq and Mark!

Growing up as a spare for their Lord father, Marq didn’t need to worry himself the way his eldest brother did with statecraft and the martial-arts. No, he spent his day’s playing with the sheff's eldest boy Jerret. The trio of the Tarth twins and Jerret were an auspicious group, often setting traps for the old quarter master, and sneaking out of the castle when they were not supposed to. But it was on one of their escapades into the surrounding village of Evenfall, they met Garett. He was a butcher's boy, but his quick tongue and scrappy demeanor quickly ended up finding his place in the group. But it wasn’t until Marq had reached his tenth name day, that the last of the Tarth boys came to Sapphire Isles. The twin Grafton’s, Gargon and Targon, came to the lands of Tarth to squire for the lord Tarh. While there the twins of Tarth and Grafton grew close, a bond forming for their shared traits of being twins.

The youth of Marq, when not spent in the inn’s and keeps of nobility, he spend's his time learning to use a bow at a young age, the twins of Tarth grew competitive in the bow. Pushing each other, both their skills grew greatly.

#### Teen Life

Coming into his teen’s Marq started to hone his craft in intrigue, after his years of talking and conversing with men of all walks of life Marq had friends in all places. Learning to use his connections people found it hard to not want to listen to him, fallen for his stories and playing into plans he had set forth, it allowed Marq to become very influential in the courts at home. A rumor once popped up that Marq had talked to the local Septon late at night, the next day a drunk septon found his way to EvenFall Hall he asked the Lord Tarth permission to go to essos and I quote “Show those hearic demon lovers the ture might of the seven”, of course the septon was dismissed and nothing came of it. But no one ever noticed the Tarth twins and their highborn cohorts were actually in court that day, with Marq’s smile being the brightest of them.

But as he came into his five and ten year of life his father gave him a few options, among those was the Watch, the Clergy, or a rather interesting option. Having a favor from the Lord Caron, he had managed to get the squireship for Marq into the service of Lord Caron who would educate Marq into the Justicars order and into a true knight. So seeing the best option, Marq has been in loyal service to Lord Caron for the past year.
