Alexander Marcus
Lord Alexander Marcus
Alexander is current Prime Executive of Absalom Station, a member of the Directorate in the Pact Council, and the Lord of the prestigious House Marcus . After the mysterious disappearance of the previous Prime Executive, Kumara Melacruz, Alexander swiftly took control of the Syndicsguild - a move that has many in the Pact Worlds suspicious. Still, there has been no public resistance to his rule. Supporters will say this is due to his remarkable intelligence and cultured leadership, but skeptics point to his astronomical wealth, and incredible prowess in Technomancy.
Like all members of the House Marcus, Alexander practices the ancient art of Shadow Magic, and is considered the best in all of the family's history.
Physical Description
Identifying Characteristics
Marcus is best-known for his glowing, yellow eyes - a mark gained from his mastery of Shadow Magic. His earrings are designed to match them, and some believe that these magical jewels extend his natural sight.
Apparel & Accessories
Alexander has made his image on an all-black, conservative wardrobe, often accented in silver and gold. Although he could likely make a fortune in brand deals, he does not endorse any particular brand, and thus all of his clothes are custom-made. The lord is rarely seen without his walking cane, which serves as the symbol of authority for House Marcus.
Mental characteristics
Personal history
Alexander is the sixth son of the late Philip Marcus, and for many years was considered the whelp of his House. Unlike his brothers, Alexander had no skill for war or business, and only a fledgling skill in the academic arts. It is publicly known that his parents were embarrassed by him, and regularly sent him away to boarding schools on the edge of the Pact Worlds.
In 291 AG Alexander disappeared from his current home on Triaxus, during the historical first landing of the Swarm. He was announced dead in 292 AG, but reappeared on Absalom Station for his funeral, stepping from the shadows of his own coffin. Ever since he has displayed a mastery of Shadow Magic and Technomancy, and was made a senior member of the Technic League in 294 AG. Upon his father's death in 298 AG, Alexander inherited his father's House despite his five older siblings, and quickly modernized the family's portfolio to include the manufacture of weapons, space suits, and starships.
He was elected into the Syndicsguild in 311 AG, and became the Prime Executive three years later.
Personality Characteristics
Motivation
Alexander runs on a campaign of security and economy, promising both protection and prosperity despite the reign of terror of the Swarm. While he is liked by the public, it is no secret that Alexander enjoys power, and regularly acts as the "bull dog" in his election debates.
Likes & Dislikes
Lord Marcus is openly opposed to Valentina Terris and the platform her allies run on, which advocates for freedom, forgiveness, and peace. He claims that Terris will see them destitute, and the punching bag of every other solar government in the galaxy.
Marcus is regularly seen with wealthy citizens of the Pact Worlds, and always in lavish, clean-cut attire. It is obvious that Alexander loves the delights of the rich, including delicacies, cars, clothes, and starships.
