Diplomatic dreamer, curious researcher, eager explorer and loyal to his family - Marco is all of these things. And more. His winning sides are his jovial personality and yielding energy. He's easy to negotiate with, hard to anger and a pure delight to have on your team because he will give himself to it 100%.

However, that's not all he is. He can be stubborn and ridiculously paranoid. He's used to playing the long game with his relatives in the Courts of Chaos and doesn't take anything granted. He might come off a little nervous because he expects everyone to have a hidden agenda and tends to have a sharp tongue with a very dry sense of humour. But that's practically an occupational hazard in being of the blood, isn't it?

But he's bright, witty and tireless companion once you've won him over.

Marco was born in shadow. He had a twin sister. His father was involved with his life from the start even if he didn't know that Mandor was his father. He knew his mother (Fiona of Amber) only through some dream visions because Mandor is an actual jackass and didn't want her involved with the kids. How this came to be, Marco doesn't actually know. He assumes that his father perhaps made a deal with his mother or maybe even stole them away as babies.

It doesn't matter to him. Mandor has been his task master for as long as he remembers and while he does rebel at times, he is very thankful for his father for the hard lessons that he's gotten throughout his journey towards adulthood.

He has since then been officially recognised as a member of the house Sawall and Mandor's son. He has met his mother a few times and visited Amber on various occasions. But his loyalties lie with the Courts and Merlin, who is his cousin, something akin to a good friend and his king. His other cousin, Despil is his best friend and the one man he would put all his loyalties towards the kingdom and family away for in order to stand beside him if need be.

Everyone in the Courts is a shapeshifter, which means he has at least a couple of forms he likes to take.

The usual appearance that he prefers is a young man around his mid twenties with blond to white hair, mid length and a bit curly. Green to hazel eyes with a hint of gold in the mix. He has his mother's pale complexion and his father's less than broad form. He doesn't look like much of a swordsman and in fact isn't, though he does carry a weapon. (A logrus sword that you really don't want to be stabbed with.) He laughs and smiles quite a bit and has the manners of a courtier. But he also has the arrogance of a Chaos lord, which means he isn't going to bow his head very easily.

He also has a chaos form with spikes and chitin armour and all sorts of interesting appendages.
