Marius

Marius is a Crimean noblemen, notable for his involvement in the Crimean Rebellion, shortly before the War of the Goddess', and for being one of few people to train in dark magic, and be extremely proficient. It is said that as proficient Duke Tanas is in light magic, Count Marius is equally proficient in dark magic.

Early Life
Born in a small area of Crimea known as Fehr, he was raised in a small orphanage. He was quickly found to be a possible mage adapt, so he was taken to a Magical Institution, where he trained harshly for most of his childhood and teenager years. He trained in all fields of magic, from dark, light, anima, healing, and even various staff functions, such as muting a person's magical talents, or causing a barrier to appear. These talents would easily come in handy later in life, in his self-defense in various assassination attempts. He trained at this Institution until the age of 19, where he fled after the murder of a fellow student. After this, he traveled Crimea, making political connections, and preparing his way into Crimean politics.

Political Life
During his early political life, Marius was a dreamer, always trying to do the best thing for Crimea, while staying "good" in character. After time and actual political experience, he grew colder, using people and ordering people's deaths, albeit discreetly. Nobody really accused him of being the perpetrator, though. His ambition to rule over Crimea eventually grew stronger than his desire to actually aid Crimea, though he believes that if he is King, he'll be able to make Crimea the grandest nation of Tellius. During his political years, he had often been at odds with Bastian, Lucia, Geoffrey, Elincia, King Mikhal, Queen Valencia, and Prince Tibald.

Goddess' War
During the Goddess' War, he preached against involving Crimea in the struggle between the Laguz and Begnion. Even after Elincia was nearly killed, he preached neutrality, not wanting to get in any other countries issues, and build up Crimea's military strength. He stayed in Melior for the duration of the war, gaining allies and ridding himself on enemies. He instead aided earlier, during the Rebellion, he fought against a platoon of rebels, defeating them easily. He also fought with Ludvec, before his fight with Geoffrey, weakening him for the Knight Commander to defeat.
