Personal history
Born to a priestess of Elaine and a blacksmith, Marcus lived a happy life in his youth. Unfortunately, fate would not allow this to last long. A raid on his home village left the entire population either dead or captured. He watched his own mother be gutted in front of him. His mother promised him that Elaine would watch over him with her dying breath. Heartbroken and mournful, he demanded to know why the gods wouldn't protect his mother. The more he learned of the pantheon the brighter his rage burned, until he swore to make them feel the same despair he felt the day his mother died.
Marcus clawed his way to the top of society, becoming a nobleman after manipulating a kind older noble into adopting him and letting him die to natural causes. The first thing he did with his new wealth was campaign for more power, using his story of being born in the bottom of society to climbing to the top to garner support from the poor. With his support the Avidita house became part of the Great Archdukes. He continued his rise to power by supporting the campaign to save people being killed by the Great Plague. Now that he had the city wrapped under his thumb as a national hero, he began to work towards his oath.
His first order of business was gathering people who had helped him in his youth, ranging from the cunning assassin Elizabeth King to the brutal pirate Captain Orisk “Black Beard” Thatch. Next he hired out the bandits that raided his childhood village, and sent them to death on a suicide mission. With his allies gathered and enemies eliminated, he began enacting the first phase of his plan to eliminate the gods.
The first phase was to gather resources for the plan. Using political espionage and funds from criminals across the world, he gathered money and power to set up the rest of his plan.
