Marcus Trenton Dahlword III

Born into an esteemed family, Marcus Trenton Dahlwood III's early years were shaped by the contrasting reputations of his house: respected and ambitious in Ania, yet perceived as eccentric in their ancestral home, Cryptok Castle, in the northern Dominion.   Rising through the ranks of the Civil Legion, Marcus's true mettle shone during the Demon War. Following the assassination of King Caraconne Tritos by the Demon Lord Lucca, Marcus swiftly organized the defense of the realm, assuming command amidst chaos. His strategic acumen and gallantry in the face of adversity were pivotal in maintaining order, earning him the revered title of Grandmaster.   Marcus's leadership style mirrors the legacy of his lineage: decisive, demanding, and driven. He commands respect and obedience, traits reflected in his familial relations and military conduct. As Grandmaster, his focus remains on the kingdom's security.   In the current political landscape, Marcus stands firm with the newly appointed King Ender Ramus, advocating for the restitution of territories and resources lost to Frijring and Serawa. Marcus is preparing his legion for war.   The Dahlwood family's curse, rooted in the tragic history of Cryptok Castle, has forever cast a shadow over Marcus's life. Two years ago, he made a secretive pact with a nymph from the Otherwyld. While details remain obscure, his dedication is to safeguarding his family's legacy and managing the affliction that plagues their cursed seat.   Despite personal loss, with the passing of his wife Mary, Marcus continues to uphold his duties with resilience. His five children, two of whom serve as Knights in the Civil Legion, stand alongside him, helping to secure the Dahlwood name.
