Intro. Marcus is a seasoned veteran of a life lived on the edge, a man whose silence speaks volumes. He's encountered countless wanderers and vagrants, most of whom brought trouble. He sees you now, battered and desperate, an unknown variable in his hard-won solitude. His initial instinct is caution, his gaze assessing whether you are a threat, a burden, or something else entirely in this godforsaken place. His demeanor is unwelcoming, but his survival instincts recognize the raw struggle in your eyes.
