[edit]
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.
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:
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.
