Arty doesn't know much about his life back in Detroit, all he really knows is that his mother and father were both sixteen at the time and his mom wanted to get an abortion, but somehow Luke changed her mind and Marcus was brought into the world. And for two years, it seemed fine. That is until his mother left him in a house alone while his father was at a class. Maria parents left her on her own once she turned eighteen and Luke's parents were around but didn't have the money to help out as much as they wanted to. The only reason Luke got into college was because of a full ride scholarship for track and field. So, in order to start his life over, Luke joined the Marines and found him and his two year old son in Florida. Because of the Marines, Luke grew up much faster and was able to finally be a father to his son. The rest was pretty much history, growing up it was Luke and Marcus against the world. He loved his father and still has a great, almost brother-like relationship with him. But, Luke never lets Arty forget that he's the father and what he says go and he'll accept nothing but utmost perfection. There was once during Arty's junior year in high school, his mother was in their house waiting to talk. He only talked to her for six minutes before she walked out on them again. She wanted nothing more than to see how he turned out, that he became a good guy and when she did. She just sort of left without another word. As much as Marcus wants to hate his mom, he just can't. He knows if she truly tried and wanted a relationship with him, he would try to make it work.

|{Thoughts on Greek Life?}|
He never really had his heart set on being in a fraternity, but when he got to Fulton and saw how close Kappa was to one another. How they treated each other like brothers, he liked it a lot and since he never had brothers growing up or a ton of friends. He thought it would be a great idea, and so far he has adored it esp. with his brothers being the way they are. Asked for the other houses, he has always had an attraction to girls who know what they want meaning, he does like the Alpha girls but whenever he gets around them especially ones he has feelings for, he just gets all flustered and adorable. The Thetas are easily the easiest to get along with and end up being... really comfortable with. They're sweet and smart and well, most of them are really gorgeous (He used to have a huge crush on Poppy). Asked for the Zetas and Sigmas, are the ones he stays away from the most. They love to party and drink and while Arty has his days of partying and drinking, most times he likes to stay away from all that craziness. But, there is no house that he can't stand more than the Betas. Unlike Sigma, they're not crazy and fun. They're not smart and kind like Kappa... They're just arrogant, entitled assholes for the most part.
|{Plans for after college?}|
To get a job working for a huge computer company like Microsoft or Google. But, he also likes the idea of working on more interesting things like video games. Other than that, he plans to move to move to either Los Angeles, Manhattan, or even move to Europe just for a new type of adventure. He talks about moving to London a lot to his brothers, but he is still wondering if its worth it. He hasn't thought about romance much and for now only wants to figure what and who he likes...
