Marcus is a tribeless Seeker Miqo'te who owns the S&S Trading Company.  He prefers to be called by his title "Captain" though in truth he rarely has the opportunity to sail these days.  As the company expanded and the years stretched on, he began mainly working from his office either in Ul'dah or at his Ishgardian estates.  He enjoys fencing as a hobby, as well as hawking, and occasionally gambling. He carries a pistol with him nearly all the time for self defense, and a soulstone or two.  He is bonded to Lady Dovienya se'Tovya of House Cuenn, and together the two have begun to build an empire. Where he is adept at deal-making and reading the market, she is skilled with insurance and maintaining their reputation. Of all his vices, the worst is probably his reliance on alcohol.  He is always drinking, and is a surprisingly coherent drunk.

<div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#444146;font-family:Georgia;">Snob is the tip of the iceberg here. Marcus mixes perfectly polite speech with a haughty tone and the frequent snide remark. He rarely leaves out titles or honorifics and tries to follow socially acceptable behavior at all times. He will be the first to point out a flaw, if he can weave it into his topic without breaking stride. If his victim is left guessing whether or not they have truly been insulted, then Marcus is having a good day. For all his talk, he is wary of physically capable opponents, and it's very likely that when he is making his point in his own eloquent way that he will have an armed man or two between him and his victim.</div>

<div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#444146;font-family:Georgia;">He wears a social mask at all times and hides safely behind protocol. Everyone is kept at arm's length. He's rarely ruffled, and in fact always seems at ease in conversation (thanks in no small part to his alcoholism). Even during times of confrontation, his reactions may sometimes seem scripted. That isn't to say he doesn't feel fear. His clever remarks will disappear quickly if he's cornered with a knife at his throat. Despite his overall thick shell, he has a softness to him that prevents him from becoming a cold-hearted tyrant. He outwardly expresses distaste for anything that would take away his or someone else's freedom, and organizations that would see to their own desires at the extreme negative expense of many others. </div>

He keeps his emotions tightly checked and rarely expresses beyond the bare minimum necessary. Marcus originally found the Keeper's thoughtful responses and heartfelt approach to their conversations, despite his outward stoicism, a breath of fresh air while amongst thieves and cutthroats. Over time, Marcus found much more in the man. What started as a business relationship, and the occasional fling, eventually developed into a story fit for any romance novel. Marcus can deny Ahzra'li nothing, and he is the only man that Marcus would ever sacrifice his freedom for. They have since been bonded and while they are still very discreet in public, they have found it increasingly difficult to hide the way they look at one another.

He has since proven to be a productive member, devising new tek for the organization, manufacturing offensive and defensive products, as well as helping out in the field with various tasks and missions. Marcus thinks he has spread himself a little thin, but then again, it's hard to tell a man he is working too hard when he himself is just as bad. Beyond business, Vado has proven to be a surprisingly attentive friend and Marcus has confided in him more than once when the weight of the Court bares down on him.

Dovienya seems deeply involved with the woman, which suggests to Marcus there is more than can be seen on the surface with the woman, and yet all he can see is a dog that at any point might bite him. A pretty, if roughed up Hyur, Crane is slow to follow conversation, but thoughtful with her questions and responses. Currently, Marcus finds some amusement in riling the woman and having odd, territorial matches with her.

|<font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3"></font> '''[[Y'ashe Bajhiri]]''': An old business partner, Y'ashe and Marcus had a rough history together involving multiple missions, business ventures, and perhaps a little bit of flirting. He sees her as fatalistic and very dramatic, but eager to help those in need. Unfortunately, Marcus had to eventually part ways with Y'ashe to do what was best for his coffers. Their friendship remains in question, but Marcus is always willing to meet with Y'ashe.

<font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3"></font> '''[[Ketsuchi Kotetsu]]''': Marcus and Ketsuchi could best be described as "it's complicated." In the beginning, Marcus saw Ketsuchi as a quiet man who was seemingly uninterested in everything. He then realized the Seeker was burying a demon within him, capable of great acts of a violence and immense aetherical power. Over the course of their relationship, Marcus has seen Ketsuchi at his worst, and perhaps, his best. He has opposed the man and also bled for him, and now he finds himself unsure of where he stands. What he is sure of is that Ketsuchi no longer trusts him, and therefore they are back at the beginning.

| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:12px;">A Keeper who enjoys spending his time outdoors and has no small skill with a bow. He keeps his emotions tightly checked and rarely expresses beyond the bare minimum necessary. Marcus originally found the Keeper's thoughtful responses and heartfelt approach to their conversations, despite his outward stoicism, a breath of fresh air while amongst thieves and cutthroats. Over time, Marcus found much more in the man. What started as a business relationship, and the occasional fling, eventually developed into a story fit for any romance novel. Marcus can't deny Ahzra'li anything, and he is the only man that Marcus would ever sacrifice his freedom for. They have since been bonded and while they are still very discreet in public, they have found it increasingly difficult to hide the way they look at one another.</div>

 +
|-
 +
| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:12px;">A passionate and hardworking Seeker, Marcus first invited Vado to petition the Court for membership after hearing of his skill with machines. He is driven, productive, and incredibly inventive, at least to Marcus' eyes. He was one of very few that Marcus could trust without a doubt while working amongst the questionable characters of the underground. Beyond business, Vado has proven to be a surprisingly attentive friend and Marcus has confided in him more than once when the weight of the world bares down on him. He's always willing to set aside his work to listen to Marcus' troubles and spend an afternoon on a sunny beach with him, relaxing and laughing away their worries. He seems particularly close to Ahzra'li, which has piqued Marcus' curiosity and made him decide to pay more and more attention. After all, anyone who can gain some affection from the reclusive Keeper is worth watching.</div>

<font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3"></font> '''[[Orin Kai]]''': Former leader of the Remnants. He's flamboyant, magnetic, and Marcus just can't help but make fun of his whorish ways.  While working together with the Remnants, Marcus attempted to overthrow a particularly dangerous businessman in Ul'dah in secret. Where Marcus found Orin to be lacking in leadership skills, he found him abundant in spirit and determination. He was attempting to set Orin up as a strong face for the group of misfits Orin was left trying to protect. Their mission together was unsuccessful, but Marcus and he parted ways on a positive note.

|-
 +
| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:12px;">Cunning, strong and downright devious, Marcus has gone through every emotional imaginable with Dovienya from love, respect and admiration, to fear, loathing, and disgust. She has made the underbelly of Eorzea her playground as a master of whispers and is determined to dig up any secret someone might be hiding. At first Marcus thought she was just a mercenary, but once she came back as heiress of House Cuenn, he realized what matter of trouble he had found himself in. Once claiming Marcus' heart, she solidified her place as his closest confidant and most profitable business partner. However, over the course of their business ventures together, they began to realize how abusive their relationship had been. Dovienya has since annulled their bonding and found another, but Marcus will admit he misses her and wishes to make amends.</div>

<font style="color:#C24640;" size="3"></font> '''[[Carina Roussos]]''': A mousy Midlander with terrible burn scars and the sweetest disposition. She's both very shy and enormously welcoming of everyone. Unfortunately, the company she keeps, paired with her shady family, and topped off with a good dose of suspicious behavior, leaves her completely unreliable in Marcus' eyes. He would have put a hit out on her, but her previous lover was both an assassin and someone Marcus had been training to work for him.  Once the man went missing, Marcus began to look over his shoulder a little more.

 +
| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:12px;">Tempest is just that: a storm. She's energetic, crass, and always gets what she wants or else no one else can have it. Her skill with black magic makes her a valuable friend to have in a pinch, but her dark ambitions unsettle Marcus. He worked closely with her during their time with the Remnants, The Nest, the Court, and plans to keep in touch with her to see that her family is kept safe.</div>

Captain's Log

The Miqo'te closed the hardwood door behind himself, looking into his office. It was neatly kept and furnished with nautical items collected while sailing over the years. A large table to his right had a map of Eorzea intricately carved and painted right into the wood with heavy figures indicating ports he planned to trade with this season. The trade routes themselves were locked away someplace safe, only shared with his most trustworthy of captains.

He was in his late thirties and just entering his prime. Light blonde hair swept back into a neat tail, decorated with a dark ribbon. His coat was heavy and Ishgardian in make, and every bit of him seemed covered in expensive cloth. Perfectly tailored leather gloves and boots, a few rings made with only the finest gems, and earrings dangled from his long, black-tipped and spotted ears with a hint of classic piracy in their style that matched the golden color of eyes.

He made his way to his desk, enjoying the warmth of the nearby fire that had been prepared for him. He set aside his scales and a stack of documents as he sat down and pulled out a clear, heavy glass which he filled with a dark amber liquid. Placing a fresh sheet of parchment on the desk, he took up his quill.

"I've been told I should write some sort of biography. I do not know who for, as I will likely decline to share this with anyone, but I suppose the exercise could prove therapeutic. Even still, I refuse to put in writing that which I cannot bring myself to put into words. A man's past is his own, and we will leave my beginnings at that. All that needs be said is, as some vagrant once put it himself, that I have 'come from nothing.' Soon I will have everything.

"But even that statement puts me ahead of myself. I am Marcus Feral of the S&S Trading Company. A company that I built from nothing, but truthfully, it did not become something without help. In my early days as a captain I had the privilege," the word seemed to be emphasized in the flourish of his penmanship, "of transporting a band of mercenaries, among which my future wife, Lady Dovienya se'Tovya of House Cuenn made her company. I did not know at the time that we would have anything to do with one another after the trip was over, but she had other plans for me. Perhaps just as well, as I would never have made the time for a wife otherwise. With the help of her family's fortune and my knack for deal making, S&S has business across several continents and we are happily wealthy, if a little bored."

Marcus looked at the parchment with a sour expression. The writing was straightforward with little about himself in truth. He sniffed, uncaring, and refilled his glass.

"As a side business, I find I enjoy uprooting evil in Ul'dah and other parts of Aldenard. I do not wish to see people suffer any more than the next perhaps, but honestly, I hate the monopoly the Syndicate holds on trade. I would better fit their seats, I'm sure. In fact, I'm positive I could run the underground better than they, but of course; I would never stoop so low. I run an honest business and it has garnered me enough wealth and prestige to even own property in Ishgard. How many foreigners can say they have earned citizenship in Ishgard? Not many, I'd wager, and I'm not the betting type."

A small smudge in the ink caused the Miqo'te pause, but he continued.

"I do not gamble, of course. Not frequently. Just the occasional trip to the Gold Saucer is enough to satisfy me. A few nights at best, really. The point is, I do not gamble—I am always certain of my chances. Like dueling, I know when I have my opponent beat before the first strike is made. Hopefully, Dovienya has not noticed how dusty my dueling coat became last week. It isn't as if I entered the Grindstone purposefully, I just happened to be there. No one would recognize me either way; my mask continues to be a flawless disguise."

The last paragraph drifted in a downward slant, but Marcus continued on to the next page without worrying about it.

"Fencing is a gentlemanly sport, and a proper pastime, I think. I practiced for hours every day in my youth, and still dedicate at least thirty minutes a day to the excuse exercise. Now that I am not sailing as much, it keeps me in shape. I can't very well keep those lazy, brutish Xaela dockworkers in check if I can't intimidate them. And with a wife like Dovienya, one must indeed keep their form strong. The woman will likely crush me one of these days...

"To think I used to be skittish whenever a woman so much as complimented me. I abhorred anyone touching me. Well, that had to change. Damned Roegadyns, they just bully their way through every..."

The above paragraphs looked as if the Miqo'te had tried to brush them away before realizing they were inked.

"I should perhaps speak of my abilities beyond trading and dueling. I'm an avid collector of not only maps, but also soul stones. Marvelous things, soul stones. Any merchant who is worth his salt should have a set they carry on their person at all times. The knowledge they carry is vital for survival if you've been dealt bad hand. They certainly help my meager skill with heavier swords and of course magic. I recently acquired a soul stone from an unruly Dark Knight. He owed me more than he could ever repay me anyway. He isn't missing it, but trust me when I say he would have missed his right hand.

"That reminds me of a song, in fact. I can't remember the lyrics. Mayhap I can recount the notes?"

The rest of the sheets are filled with music notes in no particular order and a few drawings of what could perhaps pass for ships and a leviathan towering over them.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Marcus is a tribeless Seeker Miqo'te who owns the S&S Trading Company. He prefers to be called by his title "Captain", though in truth he rarely has the opportunity to sail these days. As his company expanded and the years stretched on, he began working mainly from either his main office in Ul'dah or his Ishgardian estates. He enjoys fencing as a hobby, as well as hawking, and occasionally gambling. He carries a pistol with him nearly all the time for self defense, as well as a soulstone or two. He was bonded to Lady Dovienya se'Tovya of House Cuenn, and together the two built an empire. Where he has always been adept at deal-making and reading the market, she was skilled with insurance and maintaining their reputation. Together they bonded a quiet, but keen minded Keeper, Ahzra'li Lhomi, and from there they continued to manipulate politic affairs with their underground organization. Much has changed since then, but Marcus' goal remains the same: continue to make enough coin to live his life comfortably. Of all his vices, the worst is probably his reliance on alcohol. He is always drinking and is a surprisingly coherent drunk.

APPEARANCE

He has light blonde hair and amber eyes. His ears dark at the tips with spots. His skin is lightly tanned from bygone years at sea and he has a lithe build more toward sturdy than acrobatic. He is not likely to lose his balance, and has done his share of heavy lifting in the past, but he has spent the last handful of years at a desk and so will often throw his shoulder out if he practices too hard and he is not likely to win an arm wrestling match. He is always finely dressed, usually from the tips of his boots to his favorite hats. Rarely does he ever expose himself, preferring to wear layers of intricately worked fabrics instead. Worth noting is his constant air of superiority. He often stands with his nose high and a polite, at ease smile. Granted, his consistently relaxed posture could be because of his flask.
Aspects That Stand Out:
Always meticulously groomed and well-dressed.
His weapons match his outfits.
Holds himself very stiffly with his nose up.

PERSONALITY

Snob is the tip of the iceberg here. Marcus mixes perfectly polite speech with a haughty tone and the frequent snide remark. He rarely leaves out titles or honorifics and tries to follow socially acceptable behavior at all times. He will be the first to point out a flaw, if he can weave it into his topic without breaking stride. If his victim is left guessing whether or not they have truly been insulted, then Marcus is having a good day. For all his talk, he is wary of physically capable opponents, and it's very likely that when he is making his point in his own eloquent way that he will have an armed man or two between him and his victim.
He wears a social mask at all times and hides safely behind protocol. Everyone is kept at arm's length. He's rarely ruffled, and in fact always seems at ease in conversation (thanks in no small part to his alcoholism). Even during times of confrontation, his reactions may sometimes seem scripted. That isn't to say he doesn't feel fear. His clever remarks will disappear quickly if he's cornered with a knife at his throat. Despite his overall thick shell, he has a softness to him that prevents him from becoming a cold-hearted tyrant. He outwardly expresses distaste for anything that would take away his or someone else's freedom, and organizations that would see to their own desires at the extreme negative expense of many others.

L I K E S

Alcohol. Copious amounts of it. Rolanberry Brandy is one of his favorites, followed by any rum, whiskey or port from Aleport or Limsa Lominsa.
Banter. He enjoys friendly banter and social dueling. It's all fun and games until someone draws their pistol, but up until that point, he's enjoying himself.

D I S L I K E S

Debt. When his ledgers are red he is having a bad week.
Disrespect. This can be in the form of comments directed toward him, mannerisms, or any behavior he would consider a slight in his direction. While he enjoys banter, open disrespect is not tolerated as well.
Being touched. Don't do it.

H O B B I E S

Dueling. As an avid fencer, Marcus enjoys competitive swordplay. He's been known to "disguise" himself and enter the Grindstone for the fun of it, though he would prefer foils or sabers over the atrocities most Grindstone participants swing around.
Sailing. Marcus loves to sail whenever he can spare the time. He keeps his favorite ship the Westward Florence always running local routes so that he may commandeer her for a joy ride at any time..

A Keeper who enjoys spending his time outdoors and has no small skill with a bow. He keeps his emotions tightly checked and rarely expresses beyond the bare minimum necessary. Marcus originally found the Keeper's thoughtful responses and heartfelt approach to their conversations, despite his outward stoicism, a breath of fresh air while amongst thieves and cutthroats. Over time, Marcus found much more in the man. What started as a business relationship, and the occasional fling, eventually developed into a story fit for any romance novel. Marcus can't deny Ahzra'li anything, and he is the only man that Marcus would ever sacrifice his freedom for. They have since been bonded and while they are still very discreet in public, they have found it increasingly difficult to hide the way they look at one another.
Vado Mercier () - The Tinkerer
Character's Thoughts: "Vado has a purer soul than he will ever admit to and I could not wish for a better friend. He has seen me at my best and my worst and I like to think he has forgiven me for both."
A passionate and hardworking Seeker, Marcus first invited Vado to petition the Court for membership after hearing of his skill with machines. He is driven, productive, and incredibly inventive, at least to Marcus' eyes. He was one of very few that Marcus could trust without a doubt while working amongst the questionable characters of the underground. Beyond business, Vado has proven to be a surprisingly attentive friend and Marcus has confided in him more than once when the weight of the world bares down on him. He's always willing to set aside his work to listen to Marcus' troubles and spend an afternoon on a sunny beach with him, relaxing and laughing away their worries. He seems particularly close to Ahzra'li, which has piqued Marcus' curiosity and made him decide to pay more and more attention. After all, anyone who can gain some affection from the reclusive Keeper is worth watching.
Dovienya Cuenn () - Dove
Character's Thoughts: "Lady Cuenn is the type of woman to leave you speechless. You either fear or love her--there is no inbetween."
Cunning, strong and downright devious, Marcus has gone through every emotional imaginable with Dovienya from love, respect and admiration, to fear, loathing, and disgust. She has made the underbelly of Eorzea her playground as a master of whispers and is determined to dig up any secret someone might be hiding. At first Marcus thought she was just a mercenary, but once she came back as heiress of House Cuenn, he realized what matter of trouble he had found himself in. Once claiming Marcus' heart, she solidified her place as his closest confidant and most profitable business partner. However, over the course of their business ventures together, they began to realize how abusive their relationship had been. Dovienya has since annulled their bonding and found another, but Marcus will admit he misses her and wishes to make amends.
Tempest Fey () - The Storm
Character's Thoughts: "Ah, Tempest. She is something, isn't she? I wouldn't take her to a ball, but I would certainly take her to a party. She gets what she wants no matter the cost, and I like to think Master Kenesa has his hands full with her."
Tempest is just that: a storm. She's energetic, crass, and always gets what she wants or else no one else can have it. Her skill with black magic makes her a valuable friend to have in a pinch, but her dark ambitions unsettle Marcus. He worked closely with her during their time with the Remnants, The Nest, the Court, and plans to keep in touch with her to see that her family is kept safe.

COMPANIES, CONTRACTS, and COTERIES

This section is under construction.

Companies

S&S Trading Company

Character-run business. Mostly active off screen.

Founded by Marcus Feral, S&S started out as a small one man crew trying to make something of themselves. Marcus sailed mainly between Ul'dah and Limsa Lominsa in the early days, establishing trade routes and getting his name out there. Since this humble beginning, S&S has become a major name amongst suppliers and merchants throughout Aldenard, especially Ishgard. The company is now jointly owned by Marcus and his wife Dovienya Cuenn, whom brought a solid House's name to the business and no small amount of expertise.

Major trade items: Food supplies, ore, and textiles.
Main Office: Ishgard
Secondary Office: Ul'da

Remnants

Free Company

A ragtag group of activists whom Marcus and Dovienya blackmailed into allowing them to assist with their operations. The Remnants focused on being a safe house for lost and displaced peoples, many of whom were Doman. Unfortunately for them, they drew the attention of a powerful and dangerous Ul'dahn syndicate member. This particular man was actually a target of Dovienya's interest as well, so together with Remnant, Marcus and Dovienya planned to see the man permanently erased. In the end, Remnant disbanded to keep its members safe from further political backlash--or simply assassins--and Marcus and Dovienya safely broke off from them to find more acceptable pawns.

Leader: Orin Kai
Status: Disbanded

Notes: This information would be hard to discover without being told directly Marcus or Dovienya. Please ask before using. The Remnants were not openly active. They operated as quietly as possible and Marcus and Dovienya made sure to cover their tracks so as to not be associated with the company.

The Raven's Nest

Free Company

An underground company focused on black market dealings. They have a dusty storefront they try to call a pub in the hopes of dissuading any suspicious peoples. Not necessarily a bad group, they nevertheless are willing to kill to get what they want. Their main focus seems to be gil, perhaps power, and they take on willing apprentices for spy work, trading and scamming. Originally approached by Dovienya for her own purposes, Marcus has also taken an interest in the group. While he "runs a completely legitimate business" and only openly serves to supply this underwhelming pub with food and good booze, he still finds himself doing a little more for the group out of a growing fondness for its members. And the gil, of course.

Leaders: Y'ashe Bajhiri and Ketsuchi Kotetsu.
Status: Active

Notes: The Raven's Nest sends out encrypted messages frequently for the sake of recruiting. Recruits enter the Nest at their own risk, as saying the wrong thing, or admitting to knowing the Nest's purpose and then deciding not to join, could mean silencing. On paper, Marcus supplies a pub by the same name, nothing more.

The Obsidian Court

Free Company

Pending description.

Contracts

Trade agreements with: Ishgard, Ul'dah, Limsa Lominsa.
Smaller agreements within: Doma (mostly through third parties in Limsa).
Seeking: Larger business in Gridania.
Could be interested in: Garlean contracts.

RUMORS

N P C

Some of these rumors are untrue, speculation, or are greatly exaggerated.

◢ Common Rumors - Easily overheard. Use these freely!
"Marcus? Still drinks like a sailor, that one. Funny thing is, you keep him drinkin' and then ask him t'sing. He can't say no, ever!" — Regular at the Wench.
"Captain Feral runs a tight ship. I've heard nothing but good things from his men, and I can't remember any of his shipments ever coming in late." — Ishgardian Noble.
"Feral is obviously a fake name. He's supposedly from the Shroud, but I've tracked his movements through Ul'dah, Limsa and blasted Ishgard. No--! Don't ask anymore. Please." — Shady Stranger.
◢ Uncommon Rumors - A little more difficult to hear. Use sparingly or ask first!
"Money seems to be his main motivator. I do hear he is an upstanding citizen with a good heart, and the charities he donates to will tell you the same, but offer him enough gil and..." — Ishgardian Merchant.
He's weird about his space sometimes. He prrrefers a bow to a handshake when he's doin' business and forget hugging him. His stiff attitude isn't very huggable anyway! Hmph!" — Limsan Serving Wench.
"His wife left him for one of her pretty maids after he got into some bad business with Garlemald. Sailors believe in sink or swim, right? She got out before he could drag her down to the depths with him." — Ishgardian Noblewoman.
"Aye, he's wanted in Gridania and Garlemald for tryin' t'assassinate an Imperial diplomat. What? No, 'course he didn't do it. You jus' wait, he'll clear 'is name." — Limsan Dockworker.
◢ Rare Rumors - Very rarely overheard. Please ask before using!
"The underground buzzes quietly about this one. Everyone is afraid of the Red Rose finding them." — Information Broker.
"Look, m'best man died getting this information! Don't go yet! They say he grew up away from Aldenard. I don't know where! They say he came back here with a ship n' crew, and started callin' himself Feral." — Twitchy Information Broker.
"His reputation is nigh invincible if you ask me. You wanna get to 'im, you best make it personal. No, y'listenin'? I mean physical, y'shite." — Unknown.
"Everyone's always been afraid of his wife, Lady Cuenn. Meanwhile, he hasn't been seen for a few moons while his men handle all his business according to 'his orders.' Sounds to me like he finally misstepped with the misses and she buried him." — Adventurer at the Quicksand.

◢ Player Character Rumors - Some of these are more rare than others!
"Marcus is very pragmatic. We've had a great sense of respect for each other for years. He's not the best with aether, though. I think I spot a bit of envy in his eyes whenever I use magic." — Tempest Fey.
"Marcus is exceptional in many ways. I would put my life on the line for that man. That's all I'm going to say." — Vado Mercier.
