Involvement[]
Post-Red Rising/Pre-Golden Son[]
At some point between 738 and 740 PCE, Marcus met Darrow O'Lykos at a duel on Mars.[1]
Morning Star[]
Marcus was stationed in the Dragon Maw bunker during The Fall alongside the Truth Knight to guard The Sovereign during The Rising's invasion.
When Octavia attempted to execute Darrow, Marcus prepared the holodeck controls for the broadcast, and offered The Jackal a scorcher to use for the execution, which was declined. When Darrow, Cassius, and Virginia spring their trap and stab Octavia, Marcus attacks Cassius alongside the Truth Knight. As he gains the upper hand, Darrow approaches from behind and cuts Marcus in half diagonally, killing him.[3]
