- I never asked for this... "gift", but now, as I already got it, I'll take everything from my immortality. Every spark of power, every drop of blood... Everything! . Egoist. Liar. Traitor. Rat. Oh well, he wasn't always like this. Marcus was a good boy, he always tried to do the best he could. He worked hard. Very hard. With all his blood and soul. And the only thing he asked in return was some freedom. A little drive. Maybe ... maybe even a bit of love? Pfff, who even cares about such nonsense? You are a cog in the system. Pathetic. Small. Replaceable. You should be grateful for being made immortal, one of them, part of their society, a vampire. Now spin, Cogwheel, spin and work off your bloody mortgage! He was too coward and weak to fight, and therefore he endured, endured and endured a little more, while anger and discontent accumulated inside him drop by drop. Drip. Drop. Drip. Drop. One day this bowl just filled up and overflowed.

So there is no surprise that once his Sire loosened the leash and the clan lost some of its power, Marcus found a loophole and fled. He threw behind everything he had and all his few friends, burned bridges, changed his name and turned to the one whom he once considered as an enemy for help. He had to pay with his knowledge and loyalty, but in return he received protection, new powers and, more importantly, the desired freedom to do what he wants and go where he wants. Perhaps this is all part of a trap, someone else's plan, but for now he is too drunk for freedom to think about it.

As for his abilities and skills Marcus (or Roy, how he prefers to name himself now) is a warlock, a blood mage. He was never particularly talented, but he was very hardworking and intimidated by his Sire, so he made progress quickly. He knows many rituals, useful, or dangerous, or making life easier or just funny. Roy has a very deep understanding of blood, developed over the years. He can enchants it, draws from others at the distance, and even creates new objects from it. For example, his mane is definitely extra lengthened with the blood, so he could control it as good as his tail or legs. He also can change the appearance of others and his own, but doesn't like to use this skill much, because this power scares him.

At the same time, he is very physically weak. Even though he made a lot of efforts to strengthen himself, it gave a little result. He is defenseless against a direct brute punch, so Roy will avoid fair fight at all costs. This is partly why he rarely leaves the lair alone. This is not to say that he isn't interested in the world around him at all, but the books contain more useful information.
And books are safer.
Much safer.
