Description: Marcus has short brown hair that is a bit messy. His eyes are sunken in and he has thick dark eyebrows that cast shadows upon is eyes. He has a large nose with defined lips. He has high cheekbones with a defined jaw line that makes ladies swoon. He stands at about 6" and is muscular as he works out a lot. Marcus is tall and lanky and when he is mad he appears grumpy and brooding. He has a natural dangerous and scary look to him and he can scare the hell out of you when he's mad at you. He has a tattoo on the small of his back that says Moroi but now that he is Strigoi, he finds it was a stupid idea to get the tattoo and that he thinks now that he's Strigoi, He'll never be Moroi ever again and he thinks the other Strigoi's will think he is weak and is holding onto his past when he actually thinks he's better as a Strigoi. He has tainted yellow teeth but they are more whiter than yellow (because he smokes). He has 3 birth marks lining his neck and a heart shaped face. He has dimples that make him look attractive when he smiles.
Personality: Marcus is a manipulative and aggressive guy... Well at least he wasn't as much as he is now. Before the change he was a sweet guy who was kind of mysterious. He loved his girlfriend, Cherie a lot. He frowned at everyone that hurt her. She seemed like a child and he felt he had to keep her safe. But when he became Strigoi and lost all morals, he saw her then as a stupid childish girl and he felt the need to punish her. He used her though and acted like they should be together.
He tends to get in fights a lot and he acts like he hates everyone. He's arrogant but clever and very stubborn, a trait he shares with Cherie. Marcus is a little quiet and but know's what to say to start a conversation or a fight. Marcus tends to cuss a bit when he is in a bad mood, which is pretty often. Marcus's parents died young so Marcus began to be more quiet and still as a Strigoi he becomes sad but he tends to mask it with his harshness and beat Cherie, trying for his bad boy reputation to stay alive.
History: Marcus was born in Gary, Indiana to Eliza and Samuel Tarus, both Moroi. The Tarus family did have ties to the royal Tarus family but they were banished from the wealth and were forced to live as normal Morois. Eliza and Samuel were always loving parents but they died at the hands of a Strigoi and so Marcus packed up his things and soon left to live at a homeless camp, down by the abandoned factories by the Steel Factories. Tarus was taken in by another Moroi family that just so happened to be living in the same camp. They had a young daughter named Ella and Marcus had a crush on her, and of course she returned the feelings. Many kids at the camp had crushes on Marcus but he was dazzled with Ella. Of course they shared a few kisses and liked each other until that night...
One night when Marcus was 9 years old, a pack of Strigois invaded the camp. Of course the humans didn't know what was happening as they were sleeping but Marcus and the other Moroi's were woken up. Ella's family died that night but she was turned. The humans were frightened to find dead bodies laying around the camp so the Moroi's were forced to leave. Then Marcus found out about St. Vladimir's Vampire Academy and decided to go, since he had nowhere else to go. Then Marcus saw Cherie and they began to date not long after her 15th birthday. But of course one night Cherie's parents were turned... And they turned Marcus... He still remembers the feeling of power when he changed Cherie...
