Description
"He has the look of one who has been through hell and loved every minute of it."- Firstwatch Sergio

As both my first character, and my main character, I have played on Marin for the longest and probably the most. I commonly use him for farming and PvP. He has completed the Nightfall, Factions, and Prophecies storylines but has yet to complete the Titan quests at the end of the Tyrian campaign or the Domain of Anguish at the end of the Elonian campaign. He has also defeated the Eye of the North expansion, but still needs to complete Slaver's Exile. I like to take him into the FoW or the UW occasionally, but mostly I use him for other tasks like going through the Domain of Anguish as a BiP or fighting in the Norn Tournament. He has the legendary skill hunter title and is working on completing his Legendary Guardian track as a side job.

Quotes

 * In Ascalon:
 * "The Catacombs collapsed when the Charr invaded. Pity. I was saving some corpses in there for later."
 * "Not every Ascalonian made it out of the Searing."
 * "The biggest mistake the Charr made was not killing us when they had the chance."
 * "If only we had the knowledge to harness the power the Charr created."
 * "I animated my first bone minion just over there."
 * In the Shiverpeaks:
 * "I like it here. The cold is soothing after the fires of the Searing."
 * "Eve and I are experimenting with minions. Will a frozen corpse make a frozen minion?"
 * "Those Ice Golems the Stone Summit use are a powerful weapon. Perhaps we could do something similar...?"
 * "These Dwarves do not make smaller minions. I do not understand why."
 * "That King Jalis is a powerful leader."
 * In Kryta:
 * "The White Mantle has been as inviting as a Skale to a mosquito."
 * "I haven't seen a Drake since my days in the Ascalon Battle School."
 * "These Krytans seem happy, but that may be an illusion."
 * "The water here is warm, but that doesn't mean there aren't monsters within it."
 * "Have you ever been to Lions Arch? I used to travel there in my younger days. The city is magnificent, protected by the spirits of the Krytan kings of old. But the White Mantle rules there now. Times change."
 * In the Maguuma Jungle:
 * "I don't like bugs."
 * "I remember having a pet Devourer when I was little. I also remember it eating the neighbor's dog."
 * "Some things are better left in the trees."
 * "The Shining Blade could be exceptional allies...or potential minion fodder."
 * "If only Rurik could see us now..."
 * "This jungle is like a rogue minion. You cannot control it, except by force."
 * In the Crystal Desert:
 * "It's too hot."
 * "The bones of forgotten monsters are buried in the sands. Ah, if only corpses could talk, what stories they could tell..."
 * "How can it be this difficult to find a Dragon in a barren wasteland?"
 * "Will someone please tell Cynn that a bonfire is not something we need right now?"
 * In the Ring of Fire Islands:
 * "This place reeks of death."
 * "I could get used to this."
 * "And to think, I thought Ascalon looked bad."
 * "Between the shattered nation of Orr and this pile of flaming rock, it's a wonder most sailors are willing to travel to Cantha."
 * In Shing Jea:
 * "This place reminds me of Ascalon. Before the Searing."
 * "If only this kind of peace could be somehow spread to the rest of Tyria."
 * "This is nice, but I miss my minions. Master Togo wouldn't let them into the monastary."
 * "These plague creatures are like minions. But then who is their master?"
 * In Kaineng City:
 * "This place may have the signs of civilization, but it is far wilder than any jungle."
 * "The emperor is very wise, but I doubt even he could stop this affliction.
 * "I do not ordinarily like the city. There aren't enough corpses. But this I could live with."
 * "If the plague does not kill me, I will need to have a short talk with Shiro Tagachi."
 * In Echovald Forest:
 * "Kurzicks and Necromancers walk the same path. Both seen as dark and shady, but simply making a living."
 * "The Wardens are the servents of some higher power. But who could have the power to play the fields of the gods?"
 * "The Jade Wind did not only corrupt. It created the opportunity to adapt and grow."
 * "Why did the forest turn to stone? Because it needed to return to the earth that bore it. Everyone needs a rest once in a while."
 * "Nothing can stop the Juggernauts!"
 * In the Jade Sea:
 * "Water turning to stone...why is that such a bad thing?"
 * "Would it be possible to animate something frozen in the Jade?"
 * "The Luxons mine the Jade and battle the Kurzicks at the same time. Incredible how a single moment can both devastate and bless a people."
 * "I stubbed my toe on the claw of a Creeping Carp this morning. Then I shattered the Carp."
 * In Istan:
 * "Could this island be an offshoot of Maguuma?"
 * "Over here? Swamp. And over here? Marsh. And over there? Bog. Just once, I'd like to see a mountain, or a canyon, or even a Grenth-cursed volcano!"
 * "This island is more water than land."
 * "I wonder what would happen if something dryed out all the water on this isle?"
 * In Kourna:
 * "Despite always being ready for war, I find myself frequently animating the corpses of Kournan Soldiers."
 * "Why can't we all just get along? Oh right, because they're summoning demons from the Mists to destroy the world, that's why."
 * "I much prefer Kourna over the Crystal Desert. At least here not everyone is trying to kill us."
 * "The Order of Whispers is lead by a Necromancer. We really get around, don't we?"
 * "I can't help but admire Varesh Ossa's strategy: if you can't destroy the world yourself, get someone to do it for you."
 * In Vabbi:
 * "How ignorant do you have to be to not notice the giant tentacle sticking out of your estate?"
 * "I used to be rich too you know. But the Charr burned down my palace."
 * "These princes may not realise it, but there's more to life than money and riches. More to death too, for that matter..."
 * "Power does not come with money: money comes with power."
 * In the Desolation:
 * "The reputation of Palawa Joko precedes him."
 * "One does not master the wurm; the wurm masters you."
 * "There are few areas with a reputation to match the Desolation."
 * "How can an area so obsolete of life be the place where a God may be brought forth?"
 * In the Realm of Torment:
 * "A God does not always have to be forgiving..."
 * "These demons deserve our pity, not our blades. To serve so harsh a lord as Abaddon must be severely less than beneficial."
 * "There are legends of creatures created from the essence of the mists, styled after a suitable human template. Perhaps if we are lucky, we may see such a creation..."
 * "The Margonites survived here, and so can we."
 * "Few creatures can match a demon in pure evil."
 * In the Far Shiverpeaks:
 * "The Norn have mastered the land by force. In this way, they can survive. But how long before a slave finds its chains to be loose?"
 * "Imagine, the very essence of the mountain embodied in a single being: Cyndr the Mountain Heart, lord of the Far Shiverpeaks."
 * "None can match a Norn in strength."
 * "I find it hard to imagine a force greater than those we have fought before."
 * In the Charr Homelands:
 * "Apologies don't make things go away."
 * "Guilt can be a powerful weapon. But only against creatures that have guilt."
 * "The Charr are valuable allies, but how long will it be before they begin to think otherwise of us?"
 * "If the Charr destroyed our home, why haven't we destroyed theirs?"
 * "Adelbern is a fool if he thinks he can hold back the Charr forever."
 * In the Tarnished Coast:
 * "The very land has been animated against us. But what power could do such a thing?"
 * "The Asura may be smart, but intelligence can only get you so far."
 * "Gedd and I have an understanding. In short, he kills the monsters, and I animate them."
 * "Magic is not just a part of life: it is an art. With enough magic, you could shape the world."
 * In the Depths of Tyria:
 * "Is it possible that these tunnels might connect back to Ascalon?"
 * "The Dwarves must be rich in magic if they can maintain these beacons."
 * "The Stone Summit may live, but that can be swiftly ratified."
 * In battle:
 * "You are weak, but death is strong!"
 * "There are some things that you can't kill in life. Which is why I animate things to do it for me."
 * "I don't have the luxury of friends. So I make up for it in minions."
 * "Don't even dream of stopping me."
 * "Death will be my gift to you...when I'm done."
 * "My friends want me to kill you. But I'm still bored."
 * "Do not worry. You won't be dead for long."
 * "Who needs healing when your enemies are already dead?"
 * "Grenth wishes to see you. You wouldn't want to dissapoint him would you?"
 * "The gods are the ones who judge you. I just arrange the meeting."
 * "Death isn't something to fear. After I'm done, you'll be begging for it..."
