Character History
Marduke was Shaun's partner in the guard, but when one of their missions, to the Ardennes region of France, meant that they had to save a beautiful woman from the Order, while she saves her family from the plague, and then leave her to die, they fell out. Initially Shaun was the one to step out of line, he considered saving the girl, but decided against it in the end. Marduke, obsessed with beauty, couldn't overcome his feelings and injected her with antibiotics meant for him. Following this Shaun and Marduke fought in medieval France. Eventually Shaun became the victor, cutting off half of Marduke's face. After this Marduke left the Guard, in favour of the Order. His wife and child were taken away to be protected from him, and he vowed to return them to him. His first plan of revenge was to kill the beautiful young Sera, the daughter of Shaun, as revenge for the taking away of his own daughter Neriah. He fell in Love with Lathenia; she was his soulmate, and saved him from the Middle realm, but not before he was mutated into a beast. He helped kidnap Arkarian and torture him in the Underworld. He took his final revenge by killing Rochelle with Ethan's bow, before dying when the sun sets and turning into stone.

Famous quotes containing the words character and/or history:
“Never before has a generation of parents faced such awesome competition with the mass media for their children’s attention. While parents tout the virtues of premarital virginity, drug-free living, nonviolent resolution of social conflict, or character over physical appearance, their values are daily challenged by television soaps, rock music lyrics, tabloid headlines, and movie scenes extolling the importance of physical appearance and conformity.”
—Marianne E. Neifert (20th century)
“All things are moral. That soul, which within us is a sentiment, outside of us is a law. We feel its inspiration; out there in history we can see its fatal strength.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
