Background: Parents were of the Elk Tribe, around the Evermoors. Whilst approaching his rite to manhood/warrior, Markus was 'read' by a shaman who then announced he was cursed. As his only child this caused great upset to his father and during an argument with his mother, who venerated Auril and tried to protect her son, the father forced his sons head into a fire to insult his mother and Auril. As his mother dragged him off Marcus the father then flew into a rage and killed her, he in turn was killed by her family as retribution. All this served to 'prove' the curse and Markus was cast out from the tribe by the elders, his rite to manhood would now be to survive alone in the Evermoors. A few years later he was regularly seen in the town of Nesme trading furs and services, often in the company of an elven ranger call Rolo (Short for Myn'drarolo), Rolo had disappeared shortly before Markus headed south, to Baldur's Gate.
Markus has a harsh outlook on life and believes he has seen the true face of nature. Hates trolls, fire, and disdains the notion of family.
((Strictly OOC)) Fey heritage probably existed through his mothers bloodline but has been 'activated' by an unseelie fey creature from the feywild in order to view the material plane though a mortals eyes. It has bonded with Marcus (not possessed) and he is unaware of it so far. This is what caused the shaman to read him as cursed and afflicted by some chaotic force, whereas his mother/ancestors were'nt.
Occasionally this unseelie fey guides Marcus without him knowing which is what helped him survive the Evermoors, something he puts down to pure luck.
Goals: To see more of the world and to find new lands to connect with and call home, for a fresh start.
Possible Plot-Hook Ideas and Misc Facts: Auril's Cult of Frost, who look for the Ring of Winter. Left a few things vague so they could be adaptable as my first PC on BGSTCC. Marcus is NE only though his outlook on life (strong survive, weak get eaten), he is not Muwuhhaa rule the world and eat babies evil.
// Hi there. New player, havent PW'd much but did dabble with NWN1 pw's in the past. Background is from Bioware games rather than DnD hence I rely on my google-fu for creating backgrounds. Let me know if anything is wrong / should be changed.
