History
|
A mysterious soldier of the night, described as dark and macabre. In the distant past, Markus tried to found a kingdom for the undead. His attempts would prove to be a costly failure and would force him to flee.
In more modern times, he is content with reigning over a single castle and a band of loyal followers who are likely not considered alive in a medical sense.
Appearance
Markus' appearance was chosen from one of four Junko Kawano concept designs by a user poll on the official Eiyuden Chronicle Discord server on August 21, 2020. The four designs were shared on Twitter, Instagram, Reddit, and Facebook respectively.
Design C, the Skeleton King, would win the poll. The full results, revealed on August 24, were as follows:
- Skeleton King - 1869 votes
- New Wave Vampire - 1842 votes
- Classic Vampire - 187 votes
- Dead Lord - 167 votes
