Dr. Marrow, last name unknown, is an entity presumed male, he is a tall gangly figure with a leathery mask for a face, stapled on to what appears to be a skeleton made from metallic parts and scrap. He is a man of little personality, in fact, his personality is mostly a lack of humanity, being intensely curious on the values of those around him, taking any opportunity to learn about anything which might benefit his search in understanding himself.

## Description

Dr. Marrow is a dauntingly tall shape, standing at 198cm in height, and despite his slim frame, weighing upwards of 350kg due to his metallic bodily makeup. He is thin and gangly, having a skeletal structure to his body, and has no skin bar the mask seemingly made of some type of leather. His eyes are dark and lifeless, lit by two cold glowing lights. Also notable is the stitching across the mask, suggesting the mask has been torn in the past, or stitched together from pieces. He wears a long black lab-coat, with black hand markings on the shoulders. Underneath the coat he has a gray turtlenecked sweater, and he wears black trousers with long black shoes. He also has a pair of black gloves, generally hiding his body.

## Ardent Capability

Dr. Marrow holds immense strength due to his weight alone, being dense and metallic, and being able to move his body freely despite that, he would be an imposing enemy. His reaction times are also notable, being able to react almost instantaneously to Lovehart's thought process, suggesting his reflexes are fast enough to keep up with the speed of thought, this would make him an extremely quick thinking and quick acting individual. Both Marrow and Val hold a shared impressive mental strength, both having intelligence and mental capability far beyond the vast majority of Abyssals.

Dr. Marrow also has an ability currently only known as "Obey", his ability to in rapid thought, simply invade and overtake the mind of another being, including beings far beyond his own strength. This ability has no clear origin, despite its immense potential, making it a major point of interest in the characters.

Marrow also seems to have the ability to warp reality to a dangerous degree, being able to open portals with little visible effort, and teleportation of himself and other objects. His ability extends to such a degree that he was able to interact with and even manipulate the dimension created by Athena in her battle with the Unchained Prisoner.

It is likely that Marrow's ability is linked to Ebonic Rot, as veins of the rot can be seen extending from the coffin of Basileus, and he worked alongside Kayne in creating the substance, this would further explain his ability to manipulate Athena's energy.

* Their goals, if clear.

Dr. Marrow is important due to his position as a founder of Aurica Major, making him a key player in Aurica's motion, despite this, he seems to take little part in actually governing the city, leaving all but major decisions to the other two founders. He also has a strong connection to the Black Hand, making mention that they are subordinate to him, despite him not particularly associating himself with them. The symbol of the Black Hand likely originated from Marrow.

Marrow does however, run almost entirely on his own accord; a large laboratory underneath Aurica Major. He runs his laboratory with care and meticulous nature, however, performs highly inhumane experiments. His goal is linked directly to uncovering the meaning behind memories, the soul and how the soul and body are connected, which is in part likely due to his own situation of losing said memories, and being currently, only a residue of a soul linked to a steel frame.

'Disappearances' are plenty in Aurica Major, among the highest in Abaddon. Many of these disappearances are
