Lieutenant Marcus Stormrider

Born into a family of sailors and explorers, Marcus had always been drawn to the allure of the open sea, where freedom and adventure danced upon the waves. Yet, fate had a different course in mind for him, steering his path toward the bustling frontier city of Tycho. It was amidst the chaos of war against the southern realms, that Marcus found his calling, and a mentor in the resolute Marshal Remus Crowhel. As the war raged on, it was Crowhel's strategic brilliance and tactical prowess that saved Marcus and his comrades from the jaws of death. With a heart filled with gratitude and admiration, Marcus pledged his unwavering allegiance to the Marshal, vowing to stand by his side through every trial and tribulation.   Under Crowhel's guidance, Marcus flourished, honing his combat skills and learning the art of disciplined warfare. The bond between mentor and protégé deepened, forming an unbreakable connection built upon trust and shared experiences. Marcus rose through the ranks, earning respect and admiration from his fellow soldiers as a valiant and dependable leader.   Now, as the esteemed Warden of the River's Embrace, Marcus protects Tycho's vital lifeline—the river—with the same vigilance and courage that once guided him through the crucible of war. As goods and supplies flow through the river's course, Marcus ensures their safe passage, shielding the city from threats that may seek to exploit this vulnerable artery.   With the weight of responsibility upon his shoulders, Marcus remains ever steadfast, standing tall as a beacon of strength and valor within Tycho's walls. His dedication to the city and its people is only matched by the unspoken debt he carries toward the man who saved his life and molded him into the leader he is today—the indomitable Marshal Remus Crowhel.   Though the allure of the open sea still tugs at his heart, Marcus has found a new sense of purpose within Tycho's embrace. He embraces his role as protector and guardian, serving not only as a bulwark against external threats but also as a pillar of support and inspiration for his fellow soldiers.   In the eyes of the city, Marcus embodies unwavering loyalty to the imperial cause and the tireless pursuit of excellence. His every step bears the weight of a promise—a promise to the man who risked everything to save him, and a promise to protect Tycho and the empire with all his strength and skill.   As the river's current flows ceaselessly, so too does Marcus' devotion to Tycho, to the Marshal, and to the sacred bond forged amidst the crucible of war—the bond of life saved, and the bond of a shared destiny that binds them together in an unbreakable union.
