AS A GLADIATOR
Skillfully throwing his sword at his opponent, impaling them. His father taught him that throwing his sword in the arena is equal to death, so he generally throws his sword, leaving him with his other weapon to protect himself. Jumping towards the opponent (generaly he jumps off something) and trying to stab them.

ABOUT MARCUS
My name is Marcellus Severus Meridius, former commander of the armies of northern Navarre. Loyal servant to the true king of Navarre, Amor Medici. Father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife. And I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next.

Marcus is a serious and tactical being, always aware of the burden that once laid upon his shoulders and ready to take responsibility into his own hands. He is a just leader, once known to be loyal to the throne of Navarre, steadfast and true. He is very much a defender of the weak, innocent and of peace. Marcus can be very reserved and does not trust a person very easily. He only lets down his guard to a trusted few.

He's someone who grew comfortable in his own skin very early in life, and the confidence he exudes to anyone new who comes across his path. He is quite the talk around other people, although one cannot be trusted easily. He feels things very intensely and not just bad things or good things. He sometimes worries that his heart leads while his mind follows along, knowing the outcomes all along but not able to throw up any defences despite himself. He sees things with his emotions, and is sometimes blinded by them too much.

He is quite simply, a fighter. He has a warrior's blood and is no stranger to the battlefield. He inspires his comrades and leads with the bravado necessary to win not only the next fight, but the entire war. He fights for what he wants, for what he loves, for anything he believes he deserves, and above all else for what he needs.

He is a force to be reckoned with in both the arena and on the battlefield. His keen intellect and deadly skill combine to make him a true master of war.

BIOGRAPHY
Ancestry
He comes from a family of fighters and soldiers. The village he lived in was only set up for training young soldiers and prepare them for battle.

Before meeting his wife {Laverne} he already held a strong fascination with women. A womanizer, he was often plagued by the reputation of having slept with many women in the villages. Eventually, Laverne came to his bed and the two fell in love shortly after, becoming husband and wife.

As he grew up he gained a reputation and he was honored for his bravery on the battlefield, he moved up through the ranks as he finally was able to gain the favor of the former king of Navarre. By becoming a commander of the northern army. He fought and lead many battles for the man but as the king came to rest and Marcus did not want to follow the current king {Thriumph} he got banished from the lands. That day he decided to move himself back to the house where his wife and son stayed. But the guards of the king arrived there before. When Laverne died in his arms, Marcus has to find new meaning in life and finds it in the life of a gladiator, but to do this he must forget his past.
