Marcus' father, Gian, was vilified by a Dark Elf, who was named Merin-Slari. Gian and Merin were both in the business of smithing and leather working, and in order to take out his competition, Merin hired an assassin to kill Gian and Gemma, Marcus' parents. With his parents' deaths, fourteen-year-old Marcus knew that one day he would avenge his mother and father. When he was 16 he travelled to Riften and killed the man responsible, Merin-Slari, driving his hand-made dagger into the man's throat. Marcus enjoyed it, the hunt, the training, the satisfaction. It was three days later he found the assassin, living in Whiterun. Again, another satisfying kill.

Marcus' training was hunting bounties, until he met a man named Lars in Morthal. Lars saw great potential in Marcus, and taught him how to pickpocket. He got quite good, however, a few times he was caught, nut. with 50 gold and some smooth talking, he convinced the guards to look the other way.

After two years of such activities, the Jarl of Solitude, the High King of Skyrim offered him a job - there was a bandit leader named Meathead who had been terrorizing the townsfolk of Dragon's Bridge, Marcus accepted the offer and hunted down Meathead. Meathead's death was a single steel arrow in the eye. From then, Marcus has been travelling alone, seeing sights, killing targets, making money.

Hod, Solitude's best smith, and Gian's best friend, taught Marcus the ways of working leather and minerals. Marcus is able to make weapons and armor from many materials, the hardest being Steel Plate armor, and anything made from Orichalcum.

A page in Marcus' journal reads as so: 4th of Sun Dusk - I am back in Skyrim for now, I hunted down a man wanted for murder, he lived as a coward in life, and he died a coward, running away as I drew my bow. Anyway, I got paid, so all is well. I tried talking to a girl today, she was very cute... Too bad she ran away... Well, I'm off to drink. A lot. There's no point in living, I just have this feeling that one day I'm going to have a wife, and children.
