You look and see a man whom blends into the crowd. You can see by the way he carries himself that he knows more than most. He has a well groomed beard and brown eyes. Looking at his dress, you would think he decends from nobility, yet is not flashy. This couldn't be farther from the truth, his family was nothing more than that of any other. At a young age a man who later became his mentor stayed the night with his family. He saw in Marcus great wisdom and intellegence. The Wizard requested that Marcus begin his studies immediately, his mother was hesitant at first but finally agreed. The past 16 years he has spent studing under this wizard whos name Marcus repeats only to the closest of companions. But refers to him as Eddings. If you are lucky you may even meet his close friend, Luke. But I wouldn't pet this coal black cat without permission, he tends to not play nice or fare for that matter.
