Marc Dufort

Background:

Emerging from a lower middle-class family, Marc quickly rose through the military ranks due to his exceptional combat skills. However, his life took a drastic turn when he chose to follow Sir Pierre Leclair in desertion, driven by disillusionment with the corrupt motives behind their military engagements. Now a wanted man in France for treason, Marc serves as one of Pierre’s most trusted mercenaries, carrying out complex missions across Europe.

Personal Interests:

Despite his rugged life, Marc maintains a deep connection with his French roots and cherishes his relationship with his lover, Geneviève, who remains in the French hills.

Defining Quote:

“Bound by honor, not by borders; our loyalty is to justice, not to the whims of kings.”

Key Relationships:

    Mentor and leader, guiding him through the tumult of a mercenary’s life.
  • André Rousseau:
    Close friend and fellow deserter, their shared experiences cement their bond.
  • Geneviève:
    His beloved, whose love offers solace from his turbulent life.

Challenges and Conflicts:

Beyond the physical dangers of his mercenary work, Marc grapples with the consequences of his treason, living as a fugitive with a bounty on his head. His longing to return to Geneviève conflicts with the realities of his outlaw status.
