Background=Marko was born to pirate parents and spent most of his life aboard their ship, The Greater Trochanter, sailing the open seas and witnessing his parents and their crew plunder other vessels. As an only child, he had no normal childhood, living entirely on the ship and rarely stepping foot on land. His parents didn’t allow him to, so his world revolved around the sea and the crew. Death was common; he watched his parents' crewmates and enemies die frequently in battles over treasure, territory, and long-standing grudges. Marko was dubbed "Bony" by his crewmates after they saw him casually tossing the remains of fallen enemies overboard, a grim task he performed with eerie ease, reflecting his desensitization to death from an early age. He lost the sight in his left eye during a stupid accident with a fork in his childhood. Despite this grim reality, Marko embraced the pirate life. He was outgoing and made it a point to involve himself in daily activities, even annoying the crew at times. There was always something for him to do, and if not, he’d find a way to keep busy, except at bedtime. By the time he was 25, Marko had matured into the hardened man he is, with clear goals: to own his own ship, with a crew he would handpick. He was also known as a fearless duelist, an expert at one-on-one combat, defeating rival captains or skilled swordsmen in duels, which earned him respect and fear. He had grown close to the crew, seeing them as family. Unfortunately, many were aging, including his parents, who were nearing death’s door. Then, on a stormy night, a violent tempest struck The Greater Trochanter. Some of the crew claimed it was no natural storm—dark waters swirled as if alive, with shapes barely visible beneath, shifting like massive, slithering forms. The winds and waves, as if driven by something cosmic and monstrous, tore the ship apart and scattered bodies along a nearby coast. Marko was the only survivor, managing to bury his father and eight crew members beneath a grove of palm trees, while his mother’s body was lost at sea, but so were his emotions as he is now hollow.
