Marco the Cursed Wanderer

Bio: Marco had been sitting in his family's mansion when the letter arrived at his door. He thought it was from his brother, as they usually were, but was surprised to find the one who sent it was Wainwright, his brother's captain. He didn't know why Wainwright would send him the letter, but he was curious. When he opened the envelope, a chill went down his spine. Did something happen to his brother? Had he gotten sick? He quickly pulled out the letter and read it, before dropping it and shakily sitting in his chair. Wainwright's ship had been destroyed...and Marco's brother with it. Wainwright was the sole survivor. The sole...survivor... Marco's sadness quickly turned to anger. Wainwright had promised to keep his brother safe...and he'd failed. After everything their family had done for him. Marco packed his bags and began his journey to find where Wainwright was. It didn't take long. He figured Wainwright would be at his favorite tavern, which was a day's journey on horseback. He found Wainwright sitting at a table, having downed several drinks already. Marco was surprised the man hadn't passed out yet. He approached Wainwright from behind, a small dagger hidden in his sleeve. He wasn't going to kill Wainwright, just hurt him. Maybe take an eye or something. But without even turning to him, Wainwright told Marco to sit down. Marco sat down, a bit surprised Wainwright knew he was there. Wainwright looked like he hadn't slept in days. He explained how his ship was destroyed, how the Serpent came out of nowhere. Wainwright didn't even look at Marco. But Marco hadn't been listening. He'd just been staring at Wainwright. All he saw when he saw the former captain's face was the face of a person who had let him down. Marco lunged at Wainwright, the dagger sinking into Wainwright's shoulder. Wainwright didn't even react. He just let it happen, wincing a little bit. Marco shouted at Wainwright about breaking his promise to keep his brother safe, before storming out. He returned to his house and prepared a proper funeral for his brother. When the day of the funeral came, Marco gave a speech about his childhood and growing up with his brother, and how he'd brought a smile to his face after his parent's unfortunate passing. He saw Wainwright in the back, seeming sad himself. When the funeral was over, Wainwright approached Marco, telling him that even if Marco wanted to kill him, he couldn't. He was a Cursed now, doomed to wander until he managed to kill the Great Serpent that did this to him. Marco just stared at him in disgust. He turned from him and shooed him off of his property. Then he turned to the woods behind his house and walked in. Nobody knows what happened in those woods, but after about a week, Marco walked out with the Mark of the Seeker glowing brightly on his forehead, a Great Wolf in tow. He'd inflicted the Curse upon himself to hunt down Wainwright, and kept the Great Wolf as an insurance policy. Were he to grow to the edge of his transformation, or he killed Wainwright, he could kill the Wolf and rid himself of the Curse. And so he's wandered for centuries, using his wealth to search for Wainwright in his never-ending crusade.

Description:
   ●Physical - Due to the fact that Marco does not have access to the potions that slow down the Curse like Wainwright does, he is way more grossly transformed. While Wainwright looks more Human than Beast, Marco looks more Beast than human. He's more than twice the size of most humans (so around 12'7"), and has to have his clothing custom made. He usually wears a light jacket of some kind, some loose-fitting dress pants, and a long scarf that he pulls over his face every now and then in his rare moments of discomfort at his appearance. He has long, ragged hair and black eyes with bright orange pupils. He has a snout full of sharp teeth and large, deadly claws. He has digitigrade legs like most animals and is barely recognizable as human.
   ●Personality - Marco is very mentally unstable. His current state has left his mind frazzled, almost broken. Almost. He had a Witch of his own that gave him a mind-retaining pendant he keeps under his scarf for safekeeping. She wasn't as skilled as Jasmine, so she couldn't make the Potions that Wainwright has. This made him angry and he accidentally killed her, resulting in his pendant cracking. This resulted in him not retaining his full mind, and his pendant stops working from time to time. And then there's his living situation. He got so big he doesn't fit in most of the rooms in his mansion, so he lives in the woods and has a human Puppet living in his mansion, acting as his link to the normal human world. Because nobody wants to deal with a person on the verge of Beasthood. He doesn't care about anyone, since his brother was his only family and he died, resulting in his willingness to kill anyone in his way, not just Wainwright.

Weapons:
   ●He doesn't have a Weapon of the Damned like most Cursed, since he didn't bring any weapon with him to begin with when he got Cursed.
   ●Beast Claws - Marco's main weapons are his massive claws, used for slashing and stabbing at his enemies.
   ●Teeth - While he doesn't use them often, Marco's secondary weapon is his sharp, beast-like teeth.

Abilities: Due to Marco's current state, he has most of the abilities of his Great Wolf.
   ●Beastly Howl - Marco howls loudly, causing a feeling of fear in anyone who hears it. This leads to people fighting more sloppy since they feel more "desperate".
   ●Blood Frenzy - He injects himself with the blood of his Great Wolf, like a Stimshot, causing him to go into a frenzy that not even his Pendant can protect him from.
   ●Heightened Senses - Marco has heightened senses of sight, smell, and hearing. Simple enough.
   ●Silent Steps - Marco can cause his footsteps to be completely silent, much like the Great Wolves.

Relationships:
   ●Wainwright - Enemy. Loathes entirely.
   ●Wanda - Indifferent to her.
   ●Jasmine - Admires her dedication to Wainwright. Too bad it's what will get her killed.
   ●Oreb - That crazy cultist? Kinda creeped out by him...
