When Marcus Octavius was a baby he was abandoned in the woods by his mother which her name is unknown. She did this to protect Marcus from the assassins that were sent by an unknown Heartlander from the Holy Orenian Empire to murder both Marcus and his mother. It is rumored that Marcus Octavius carries royal blood but that is unknown. Marcus Octavius was left by his mother near the rural areas of the Norland kingdom. Short after he was abandoned in the woods, a group of farmers from the Norland kingdom found him and took him with them back to their village. Back in the village no one wanted to adopt Marcus Octavius because they believed taking care of a child was a big responsibility that none of them were willing to take. Only a couple of farmers adopted him "Antonia and Lucius". Marcus was baptized in the church of the red faith and his parents named him Marcus Octavius. During his childhood he was taught how to read and how to write by his adoptive dad Lucius which unlike the other farmers he knew how to write and how to read,. Marcus dad was a retired soldier that fought in many wars such as the Ruben war so he taught Marcus the use of swords and combat skills. His parents raised him with the Highlander way of living so his interest for war, combat, swords and the military grew up as he grew up. When he reached the age of 18 he enlisted in the military and improved his combat skills and meet new friends during this time.

After 3 years of serving in the military and witnessing all of these events he decided to leave the military and go by his own path. When he was arriving home he found out his parents and other farmers were killed by a group of thugs. After finding this out he swear'd he will get revenge one day and to honour his mother which constantly told him "You are destined for great things Marcus". After these events Marcus left his home town and decided to move to Varhelm in the search of opportunities and during a night of drinking in a tavern a stranger approached to Marcus and offered him a job as a mercenary which he immediately accepted.
