Lord Marcus XXXIX (EntityTopic, 13)

From Compile Worlds

Revision as of 12:59, 29 August 2011

Lord Marcus XXXIX is a character from Compile Worlds, who debuted in episode 17, though his name was not revealed until Episode 20 (no thanks to Draco having the attention span of a goldfish). He was first sighted emerging from a portal with Epsilon. Though at first he looked like a Tall Man, that was actually just a bug in his portal, which he promptly corrected. Thus he actually looks similar to Schezo Wegey, just with a less ridiculous outfit (to be more specific, just look at the concept art to the right). He is a wielder of dark magic; he strongly opposes the ADMA's discrimination against it. Lord Marcus' powers are capable of causing Ekoro's clones to randomly explode, and he can destroy Light barriers and armor with ease, making him an intimidating foe, though this is offset by his cocky nature and extremist beliefs.

After a short exchange with Ringo and Arle, he places a curse upon Ringo, which caused her to immediately home in on the location of Draco Centauros for him. It also "inconvenienced" her by making her subconsciously unable to let go of Draco. Needless to say, Draco and Ringo both got pretty pissed about it. When the trio arrived in ???'s world, it was revealed he was indeed from an alternate dimension, and has two minions; a Nondescript Minion who likes to take photographs of lesbian couples, and a Sympathetic Minion, who apologized for her master's curse and use a doll to make it's effect less inconvenient. Apparently, the ADMA, thanks to defeating Ekoro, has made it's presence known throughout the chance dimension. ??? was infuriated that Draco assumed that all dark mages were evil, and he was simply punishing those who "oppressed them". A heated argument ensued. In the end, ??? outright declared war on the ADMA, and then left to attend some "business matters".

In a later episode, Lord Marcus enters direct confrontation with Ringo and a select party of characters, after the latter had been there and accidentally caused trouble. Marcus took the pleasure of making the first strike by nearly killing Lagnus the Brave, and held the upper hand for most of the battle. However, Elita then decided to wake up, and single handedly forced him into retreat.

Slowly, more people are victim to various nasty misdemeanours, including murder, suggesting Marcus was behind this. However, in a surprise plot twist, the last episode of the Meteor Arc reveals that Marcus was stripped of both his title and power by the king of the Abyss, and was left in a pit with heavy injuries. This had taken place after the battle mentioned above

While it was not Marcus who wanted to kill the ADMA, he arranged for the meteor to strike the building, presumably under the King's orders.

Name

XXXIX is 39 in Roman numerals. Reading the digits independently in Japanese yields san kyu. Appending Mark (a diminuitive of Marcus) to this gets san kyu mark. If we now treat only the san as a number, and the kyu as a Latin letter, we get 3 Q-mark, short for three question marks. Mind you, there must have been an awful lot of Marcuses before him to get to the thirty-ninth generation!
