Character Information
Known History
Marcus is originally from the island of Manhattan. Stayed somewhat recluse from Kindred Society for the first part of his life as a Kindred, assisted his sire in his business, and made his sire look good to the rest of the Camarilla in the city by providing insights into political machinations and ferreting out Sabbat infiltrators, which were common and rampant. He enjoyed spending most of his time with mortals, which he indulged many a guilty pleasure with and learned what made the emotions of a human tick. Slowly, he slipped out of the direct influence of his sire and started his own business in art promotion and scouting. They moved to the west coast to escape the Sabbat takeover in New York. He and his sire moved around for awhile until he settled in New Acheron where he served the city as whip and then Seneschal, where he used his skills at politics and observation to ferret out Sabbat who were trying to infiltrate the city. The city of New Acheron fell to the Sabbat, and he moved to Santa Rosa, CA, where he quickly was appointed as Harpy where he swiftly gained the reputation of being elegant, but shrewd in terms of how he exercised the authority of his position.
Marcus used his allies and influence to seize praxis of Santa Rosa, CA after the previous prince went one step too far and placed the Brujah Clan in torpor for no reason other than losing control.
He now works hard putting the Domain right by dealing with both external threats and internal infighting, while he is a Toreador, his tolerance with drama is minimal, and his methods of rooting it out are precise and harsh.
Marcus practices no discernable art, however he is very good at following trends and seems to have insight into cultural machinations that has kept him on the cutting edge of the art community whereever he goes. While somewhat reclusive within that community, he is able to make or break local artist by a sentence here or a rumor there. If you bothered to look, you would see him with a High Society Socialite as often as you would see him "slumming it" at a local wine bar, always with a woman on his arm.
