=== CHARACTERISTICS ===<\/strong>
\nMarius is almost flawless. He is an astute warrior, having served in the Roman Empire as a distinguished Legionnaire. He comes from a long line of Roman fighters; both brothers served under Augustus Caesar, the first Emperor of Rome as generals. If he has one flaw, it is his undying devotion to the love of his eternal life, Pandora.\u00a0 Having pursued her since his mortal days in Rome — she was the daughter of a Roman senator — he became entranced with her and fell utterly in love.\u00a0 Those feelings were only heightened as he turned immortal.<\/p>\n

Pandora, after the fall of Rome, fled to the city of Antioch (modern day Istanbul), and Marius followed her there.\u00a0 Upon their reunion, she knew something was very different about him, how he had not aged, his affinity for the night, dexterous speed, etc. \u00a0Eventually he told her of his affliction, but she stayed by his side helping to care for Those That Must Be Kept. \u00a0She was not afraid. \u00a0She wanted to be like him, with him but Marius refused to turn her. Until\u00a0one evening\u00a0a rogue fiend seeking the blood of Divine Parents, broke into Marius’ house and drained Pandora off her mortal life. Unable to let Pandora die, Marius’ completed the job and turned her into a vampire.\u00a0 For over two thousand years, through many ups and downs in their relationship, they happily co-rule the coven that is House Romanus.\u00a0 In all matters relative to the coven dealings, he seeks Pandora’s advice and council above all others.<\/p>\n

Pandora’s push to free the Lycans that were under the coven’s ownership was a source of strife, as Marius believes Lycans are not to be trusted.\u00a0 While he accepts the Lycans that chose to remain as part of his coven,\u00a0 he leaves the dealings of such to Pandora for the most part.\u00a0 The only Lycan he feels that he can trust is Dr. Vandion Jones, whom he has appointed as personal medical doctor.<\/p>\n

Marius\u00a0maintains an exceptional business acumen,\u00a0dealing fairly with the mortal world to gain profits for his coven’s expansive endeavors.\u00a0 He seeks to expand his holdings in both Earth and Sosaria through trade agreements and barting exchanges. Commerce is at the heart of Marius’ focus for Sosaria, as he instituted the Trade and Commerce Commission to run all the trade and commerce on behalf of Romanus Holdings, Inc.\u00a0out of the great city of Umbra. He put his trusted friend and ally, Jonas Callahan of the Umbra Vampires that were left as a result of the former occupation of Umbra by LICH, as its President to solidify his allegiance to the city of Umbra.<\/p>\n

On Earth, his primary goals are to continue to build his empire with his headquarters directly in the heart of\u00a0Paris, France that contains the world gate to Umbra in Sosaria deep beneath the surface. \u00a0The world of Earth does not have open knowledge of our existence, thus it is much easier for us to industrialize with the mortal world. Our holdings on Earth include areas of New Orleans (most of Louisianna), Los Angeles (most of Central California), New York City (most of New York state), and Miami (most of South Florida) in the U.S. including most of the islands in Carribbean. \u00a0In Europe, of course all of\u00a0France, all of Italy, and the better part of Germany. Of course there is Armand’s Night Island just off the coast of Miami. Romanus Holdings, Inc.\u00a0also own a chain of blood banks throughout\u00a0the modern world that we use as feed for our family\u00a0members; an invention of Marius’ that proved to help many humans just as well. Other businesses include, Arista Records (a music entertainment company),\u00a0a majority holding of ABC and NBC Studios, as well as Paramount Pictures.<\/p>\n

As a leader, although generally kind and understanding, he does inflict fear into most of his members.\u00a0 They fear his age and the power it brings him.\u00a0 He is the oldest vampire in the coven — setting aside Those That Must Be Kept — and that in itself is intimidating.\u00a0 As a result, loyalty is not only required, but given willingly.<\/p>\n

=== PHYSICALITY ===<\/strong>
\nWhile Fed:\u00a0 A light skin tone with pink undertones, deep ocean blue eyes, platinum blonde hair shoulder length but would often cut it short (especially back on Earth), nails appear normal.<\/p>\n

While Hungry: Shockingly pale white, almost marble like. Eyes grow light blue\u00a0color, hair is dull almost dirty, nails glimmer like glass, but he would wear gloves.<\/p>\n
