Marcus Mariota

Marcus Mariota is an underground human and one of the main protagonists of the The End of Days. A kind, caring, and very diligent man, Marcus is well liked by his friends for his noble nature.

Pre-Timeline
Marcus was born in Bunker 17, an underground shelter located in the Swamp Region. He was a good athlete, and was respected by the community. However, when an unknown sickness broke out, Marcus was sent out by the community to find medicine.

Season 1
Marcus appears in the swamp and stumbles upon other underground refugees. Although rocky at first, Marcus gets their trust when he helps fight off a trio of swamp snakes. The group get to know each other, until Jean shows up and threatens them.

Although captured, Marcus and the others eventually form an escape plan on a slave revolt. Marcus helps the others and goes to rescue Olivander, though is beat up by Jean in the process. The attempt succeeds though, as Marcus manages to escape with the others.

However, they are tracked down by Jean, to the Criscoras bunker where they had hidden at for the past day. Olivander is shadily exchanged and shipped of to the Hill Clan, as Marcus yet again is sent on a mission to rescue him.

Season 2
Marcus and the main crew go searching for Twink in the Hills. After surviving an encounter with a Hill Monster, Marcus grows closer to Morgan, a magician from New York who tagged along with the group. The two begin to bond on the journey, growing more close.

Marcus manages to infiltrate the city of New Toronto, as he and Morgan break into the Governor mansion to try and kill the Hill King and rescue Twink. However the plan goes awry when Daniel Jones catches and captures them, jailing them along with Penny.

Ashley manages to bail them out of jail, and the trio escape, hijacking a boat from the harbour to sail across Lake Erie as the Strike Force fights the Hill. While on the boat one night, Marcus and the group are attacked by a nest of Drowners, though he manages to fight them off and rescue Naomi alongside Lucas.

The group makes their way towards the Tundra capital, before a small group of Hill Raiders ambush them. Marcus has to fight off a particularly imposing one, though succeeds with some help to best the attacker. They meet Luke, Stella, and Raven, three other people who had crossed the lake as well. The groups decide to team up to warn the Tundra Capital of an attack.

Marcus notices later on that Naomi is being captured in the city by Hill agents. He chases after them, managing to catch them but in the process walks into an ambush. In a highly intense battle, Marcus escapes on the skin of his teeth, though Raven is mortally injured. He carries the unconscious Morgan to a safe place, as the two grow even closer, washing and cleaning Petra before having sex.
