[b]Legatus Origines[/b]
Born to the Wealthy Roman family of Particians. His Father Gaius was a Roman senator who had garnered decent fame for his campaigns in the 1st Punic War until his untimely death at the hands of Carthaginians soldiers in battle, but due to his young age and being his father's only son (also possibly due to some manipulation by his uncle) Marcus was left with few holdings, the bulk of his father's estate going to his uncle Atonius ( at the time Legatus of Legio IX). Even though his Uncle stole his rightful inheritance the man was still kind enough to take marcus under him as a ward. Planning to send him off to the legion (prefferably to his death) cementing his hold on his brother's estates his uncle groomed him as a military man teaching marcus the basics of military order and strategy along with how to fight.
So at the age of 17 he left his young wife Aurelia he joined his uncle in the Legion's campagins in sicily hopeful in garnering the fame and renown his father had earned in the Punic War. By the End of the Punic War with the help of his uncle Marcus had become a centurian in the Legion's Equestrian Units and from there proved his skill not only to his uncle but the other Officers in the legion.Marcus like his father before him commanded with Dedication and Ruthlessness soon becoming known as a domineering and inditimidating leader earning the respect from his troops for his Fearlessness in battle. It was during the 1st Illyrian War that Marcus gained control over the legion. While the legion was marching to help the forces at Appollonia Atonius lead his cohort forward to clear the road the cohort was ambushed by Illyrian forces. Marcus upon seeing the smoke signals rise up quickly raised his cohort pushing them on toward his uncle's position but by the time they arrived Atonius's forces where in a dire state. having been ambushed on both sides Atonius' lines were in chaos as they struggled to rally and organize. Leading his cohort in a counter attack Marcus managed to rout the Illyrian forces giving enough time for the remains of Antionius' forces to rally and push the attack. Soon enough the Illyrians were in full retreat but sadly marcus had come to late his uncle was mortally wounded by a Illyrian arrow as he lay in his tent Antonius gave the Position of Legatus to Marcus.Putting his men on a forced march he followed the retreating Illyrian forces back to their encampent. Surrounding the encampment he lead forces on a massacre of the Illyrians killing both foe and civilian. A few weeks later Marcus arrived at Apollonia his men carrying the crucified Illyrian Commander as both a sign of their victory and to avenge the death of Antonius and sowing the seeds of his future reputation as a unmerciful and menacing commander..
