Marcus Crepley

Marcus Is a wandering magician, and a runaway from Halicourt.

Biography
He grew up in a small, but respectable, estate in Halicourt. As tradition goes, he was trained to be a fighter, and he went along with it without a fuss simply because he didn't like to be contrary. Luckily for him, however, he had two older brothers and a sister, and he wasn't expected to carry the tradition on throughout his entire life, and when he "came of age" he simply left Halicourt altogether to go seek other things. Unsurprisingly, given his nature, he took up magic and found himself to be rather better at it than he was with a blade. He's found himself in Alexshire, hunting down the biography of a long dead wizard that hailed from there.

Physical appearance
A very tall, thin man of pale continence. His face is thin, but not unhealthily so and he has rather long black hair, which curls handsomely. His eyes, oddly, are blue, and have a fire in them that seems to contradict his bookish face. He has gradually lost the finer clothes which he left his home in, from thieves, merchants when he needed coin, and even to gambling(he actually won the card game that took his jacket, but those he played didn't trust him as a magician and believed he was cheating). Instead he now wears a pair of soft, but uncolored leather breeches, and a plain off-white cotton shirt, which is open at the top because it has no buttons, revealing part of his narrow, hairless chest. On a manlier man, this could be attractive, but not on Marcus. His feet are clad in a pair of sturdy, but well worn boots, and he has acquired a decent hooded jacket to replace the one he "lost" in a card game.

These are actually the only clothes he owns.

Despite his dislike for it as a weapon, he still carries his birth sword, though he has traded in the elaborate gold plated scabbard for a much simpler one of leather(plus a healthy handful of silver). The blade is that of a longsword(much to Marcus's chagrin, as he'd prefer a lighter weapon) which has images of birds beaten into it, along with his family's mark. The cross guard is a straight bar between the blade and hilt, and has a twisting pattern along it, flaring out at the end. The pommel is the same.

Personality Traits
A very mild mannered and polite young gentleman. He is extremely curious, and most of what he does is driven by seeking out knowledge. He's slow to anger, and very difficult to pick a fight with, without outright striking him. He generally likes to be helpful, and with his magic(much more than simple elemental abilities) he tends to be extremely so. In his travels he tends to stop at smaller villages and help out with things that need to be done(repairing roofs, helping plants grow, curing diseases or healing injuries) and he's usually well thanked(though sometimes he gets yelled at and chased away. Magic isn't always accepted).

Death?
Sadly, Marcus was killed in the forest battle that occured right outside of Alexshire. Neglecting to get down when Grant noticed the archers, three arrows impacted the young noble square in the chest. The man was lifted off the ground and pinned to a tree. The rest of the group, unable to free him, watched helplessly as the man's arms spasmed wildly and listened to his pained screams until eventually, he grew silent.
