Personality
Jerk* Markus is probably the meanest guy around. Plain and simple, he’s a total asshole. Not liked by almost the entire student body, he’s known as a bully. He’s that guy you see pushing first years into their lockers if he doesn’t like look they just gave him. He acts very impulsively, and the rest of the students are the ones who feel his mistakes.
Angry* His anger is more of a subtle emotion that drives all of his actions. Sure, he’s known to take it out on others, but his bursts of rage are controlled to those he truly cannot stand, even if that may be half of the student body.
Snarky* Despite his awful temper, Markus is insanely intelligent. Probably far too intelligent for his own good. In every day conversation, which you’re probably lucky if you don’t have with him, this is evident through his sarcastically witty remarks he uses to insult you.
Manipulative* Using his smarts to manipulate people to do his will has been one of Markus’ finest talents since he was a boy. He’s the type who can seemingly persuade anyone to do absolutely anything for him, whether it’s through blackmail or pure pressure.
Romantic* Despite his horrific outward personality, deep down, Markus is quite the romantic. He’s old fashioned, and gentlemanly, but almost no one has ever seen this side of him. It’s deeply buried, and takes a certain type of person to bring this out, though it sure wouldn’t be an easy task.

History
Markus was always the second choice. From the moment he was born into this world, he was never anyone’s first choice. Certainly not his parents. It was his older brother who was constantly doted upon and fussed over. After all, he was going to be the king. He was the one who was provided with everything life could ask for. Not that Markus wasn’t. Oh no, he had everything as well, except the attention of his family. No, he was placed under the care of the hundreds of servants at the palace. Despite the obscene number of people charged to look after the boy, he had always felt alone.
This lonesomeness quickly turned into jealousy and resentment as his oblivious older brother received all the attention of the family. All eyes were on the heir, and Markus was left in the background. As his older brother took on his future with a smile, Markus wanted nothing more than to have it. To rule over a kingdom with a firm and just hand, to be needed by an entire population of people who adored him, yes, it was his dream. But, sadly, it was just that. A dream, and nothing more.
As the boy grew up, his friends were few and his resentment slowly turned into a deep seeded anger. This anger could only be fueled by one catastrophically awful event that changed Markus’ life forever.
Markus was only fifteen when he fell in love. She was absolutely perfect. Beautiful, smart, innocent; Cecilia had a certain girlish charm about her that he found totally and utterly irresistible. To say it was love at first sight would have been an understatement. The only problem with the girl of his dreams? She was only a servant in the palace. He figured his parents would not approve, but the truth of the matter is that they probably wouldn’t have even cared until it was evident that it was actually a serious relationship. Well, serious it was, and became so quite quickly. She had shone a light into his life he had never yet experienced. He felt needed, wanted, loved.
It was only a matter of a year before tragedy struck.
It’s common knowledge that attempts are constantly being made on the lives of the royals. Because of the frequency of these attempts, security is well prepared, and the rarity of someone actually succeeding is slim to none. When Markus was sixteen, an attempt was made on the life of his older brother. Of course, many had probably been made before without their knowledge, since security was not eager to share information on such a subject, but this was the closest anyone had ever come to harming the family. It was simple, really. Someone had slipped a highly undetectable poison into his brother’s nightly snack. Cecilia, extraordinarily hungry after a busy day’s work and unable to help herself, ate the food. It was a simple decision, as she was bringing it up stairs, and would just go back down and bring up another snack for him to replace the one she ate. She knew he wouldn’t mind, he was a kind prince after all. It was on the was down the staircase she collapsed. The whole house was suddenly in a frenzy, but it was Markus that was instantly by her side.
By the time the doctor arrived, it was too late. There was nothing he could do for her. The poison had already spread itself through her system, and she only had a matter of hours, if not minutes, left.
He stayed with her until the very last.
Unaware of his relationship with Cecilia, Markus’ parents, though disturbed and saddened by the news, were far more focused on the happy survival of their heir. Anger and resentment was quick to manifest itself in Markus’ heart, and he was forever a changed man.
