Biography
Marcus lived in the floating island city Andika. A some point, he married a Beastman named Vera and the two of them had a daughter named Kiara. All three of them worked at an inn they owned in Andika's Arrogan District, known as "Wanda's Inn".

One evening, Marcus' family inn was attacked by a group of pirates, who mortally wounded him and captured his wife and daughter. Two of his customers, Miledi and Orcus approached Marcus after seeing an explosion at his inn from afar. Miledi healed Marcus' wounds with her Magic while Marcus told her that Vera and Kiara were kidnapped. Miledi vowed to rescue Marcus' family to him before letting him rest while recovering from his injuries. Marcus' family later returned to Andika on small boats while they were unconscious, but their wounds had been healed thanks to the Saint of the Western Seas. After the pirates' attack on Andika, the Wanda family's inn was repaired and resumed business.

Miledi's group once again visited Wanda's Inn after having spent all that time away. Everyone at the inn was initially shocked to see them after having disappeared since the pirate attack, but they soon expressed their gratitude for all the aid they provided to them afterwards. Vera and Marcus even offered them a feast as a token of gratitude.

Days later, when Andika became a battlefield between the pirates and the Holy Church, Marcus' family watched in awe as Miledi displayed incredible feats of magical prowess while fighting the church's forces. When the battle was interrupted by a gigantic Monster, the Divine Beast Leviathan, Marcus and the rest of Andika's citizens fled the island while it was sinking due to the Monster attempting to destroy it. In the end, the church's forces were thoroughly defeated, and the Leviathan was killed by Miledi's group.

After the battle against both the Holy Church and the Leviathan, as well as the subsiquent destruction of Andika, Marcus and his family were among city's inhabitants that decided to join the Liberators after having witnessed Miledi not only defeat such powerful enemies, but also using her Magic to give the people of Andika enough time to escape before it sank. They spent a month helping the rest of Andika's people built a new home for themselves out of abandoned ships before heading out to the mainland.

Marcus joined the rest of the Liberators' new recruits from Andika into helping build a new settlement for many of them in the Crimson Desert's northern region for a month. When Kiara was off making a nuisance of herself in front of Miledi, Marcus dragged Kiara away in order to get her to focus on her assigned duties. Soon after, when the Liberators leaders held a meeting to discuss their progress, Marcus' family were chosen to act as representatives for the recruits from Andika due to how close they had become with Miledi.

Marcus and his family later accompany Miledi's group to Esperado, the capital of the Entris Federation, in order to work with the support team that was stationed at their hidden base in the area by working as innkeepers. Marcus was intimidated for being in such a populated city for the first time in his life, but tried to pretend that she was calm about it. When they finally arrived at their destination, Marcus' family was shocked to see that the base was actually a lavish 15 story hotel. At first, they nervously thought Miledi wanted them to manage it, but Miledi assured them that they would be only there be receive their orientation for the duration of their visit. As they entered the building, they were greeted by the receptionist, Shirley Nelson, who was actually another member of the Liberators' support team. Marcus' family timidly followed Shirley as she led them towards the Liberators' hidden base through a secret passage in the hotel. When they finally arrived at the entrance to their base, they were greeted by Shirley's father, as well as the branch leader Rigan, and were escorted to the Liberators' hidden base. When Miledi was reuniting with her old comrades, Rigan talked to Kiara and the others about why she was so popular amongst the Liberators and the revealed hardships she endured for their cause. When he was finished his explanation, he asked them if they had the resolve to make the world their enemy by joining the Liberators. Kiara responded by saying that she was unsure, but vowed to support Miledi no matter what. However, she expressed her wish that her parents reconsidered their choice out of concern for their safety, but they too resolved themselves to support the Liberators. When Marcus and his family were fully integrated as members of the Liberators' support team, they were assigned to manage an inn that was located in one of the federations' outlier villages named Horuo, and would also be called "Wanda's Inn".
