Lieutenant Marcus, Knight of the realm.
Sir Marcus is a junior officer, recently distinguished in the grand tournaments, held annually in the Valley of Stars. Sir Marcus is a young adult field mouse from the Blackened Coast, and a survivor of the Night of Fire. He has brown fur streaked with white and a longer tail than most field mice of the Valley. Sir Marcus’ mother and father both served in the Knights of Paw and Claw. Sir Emera, Sir Marcus’ mother, and Sir Herold, his father, both fought and gave their lives during the Night of Fire during the final cavalry charge that drove the rat horde from our shores. Sir Marcus carries this sacrifice and final devotion of duty close to his heart, judging his own actions against them critically. Sir Marcus is eager to live up to his parents. He is headstrong and physically capable, commonly first to volunteer and last to report injury or weariness. Sir Marcus is a welcome resurgence of old breed mentality among the troops and younger enlisted. His avid desire to serve and his extensive knowledge of combat strategy and troop movement and management is an inspiration to our entire sect. If he continues on the path he has set for himself, Sir Marcus will rise quickly through the ranks, as long as his intensity and standards set by his parents sacrifice do not hinder his judgement too harshly. Sir Marcus has been assigned to our most decorated officer, Sir Lilian, a fiery red squirrel commander who will temper the young mouse’s flaming passion with her own, we hope.
