Personal Information
Appearance
Marcus tends to favour the darker colours of the spectrum, aiming for those that are in the range of blacks and greys. Currently his attire consists of a black/grey shirt, dark jeans, black shoes/boots, dark grey flak jacket, and a dark coat. His personal appearance is pale, almost gaunt skin, glasses, blond hair that has browned over the years, sharp green eyes, and a small beard.
Personality
Before the attack that killed his Scottish siblings, Marcus was an easy going, somewhat jokey member of House Grimm. Since then, whilst he still has that mentality, deep down, his paranoia and anger take precedence, however he does try to keep a handle upon his emotions, lest they interfere with his hunt. Because of that, he initially comes off as intense to most.
Mortal World
Marcus keeps himself up to date with technology and modern fashion trends (mostly through sites such as tumblr and Instagram), both as a method of surveillance and as a means of updating his clothing options so as to continue remaining inconspicuous. This has also bitten him on the ass a number of times as Sakura, whom helps Marcus train, tends to dominate him into going all fan-girl over a series he strongly dislikes if he ever annoys her too much.
