Markus of Nordaka is the commander of the district's legion. (The Marshal) He serves at Telen and is directly responsible to Cobar Nordaka.

Born on the 18th of Navek, he is the fourth child of Perlotta and Uthulus Nordaka. His other three siblings are all boys scattered throughout the Coranan legions. The oldest boy, John, is rumored to be a Laranian knight serving in Coranan; but that has not yet been proven.

Markus stands 5'8" tall and is of heavy frame. He has blonde hair, blue eyes and is of medium complexion. His hair is shorn so that it fits beneath his helmet. He got along well with his siblings, but they are, respectively 10, 6, and 4 years older than he.

Markus is dyslexic, which has hindered his advancement in the legions. He always has a slave-scribe by his side to write his journals, his reports and his dispatches. The slave has a pleasing voice and a good hand, and it is officially for those reasons that he is there. The slave (Michael) is devoted to Markus and both proud and honored to know the truth of his purpose, and so trusted with the secret.

Markus is unmarried, but currently courting a young noblewoman of the Cadrune clan. Teobba appears taken with handsome young Markus, but understands she has no real say in the matter. She has one more year in the legion before she can consider marriage.

A quiet man, Markus's quick whit and intellect often catch visitors by surprise. He has the Nordaka ability to orate with great skill; but his normal passive state makes many assume he is a lout at best. Whenever possible Markus will answer with grunts instead of sentences, and nods instead of points. He has a keen mind for tactics and battle plans and can read a map like most of his clan can read a senate speech.
