History
Biography Marco’s father was a young supermodel, around twenty two years in age, when he started dating this beautiful young lady model that he met. The two had a story book romance, falling in love quickly, and they looked rather handsome together. However, right as Marco’s father was getting ready to propose, the woman vanished, leaving him alone for seven months. At the end of that, a basket with a note and a baby appeared in it on his doorstep. There was nothing more in the note that a simple apology and the name of the baby.
Marco grew up doted on by his single father, but there was always a lingering sadness in the poor man. His heart had been crushed, broken by this beautiful woman, and whenever Marco would ask about his mother, he could tell that the hurt was real, so he learned quickly to not ask about his mother.
Marco and his father always knew that he was not going to be a normal boy, as he took an interest in fashion, needle felting, and both boys and girls quickly in his life. However, besides some trouble with school work and being diagnosed with both ADHD and dyslexia as a young age, his teachers always found him a charming and sweet boy, and it seemed that Marco was always able to talk himself out of any sort of terrible trouble that he might be in.
When he was about twelve, he received visions of a wolf and then met Lupa one day. Lupa told him of Camp Jupiter and Marco was interested, and told his father it was a fashion school that went year round, and then packed up and went there. He still wants to punch his mother in the face if he ever meets her, but other than that, he’s quite happy.
How Long Have They Been At Camp Jupiter: Marco was found by Lupa when he was twelve, and shortly after claimed by his mother and taken to the camp. He easily fit in with his siblings, and the young man has always been charming, so he easily fit in with the others. He has been at the camp for five years, but he still goes home to visit when he can.
Additional Information
He makes each meal for his little sugar glider by hand. He does enjoy singing, even if he’s not a child of Apollo. His first kiss was with a boy when he was 12.
Theme Song:All You Need is Love- The Beatles

🌓 Nancy Parker 🌓
"She did a good job bringing back the gem thing."
Marco knows Nancy from her usual daily trip into the coffee shop, and they have chatted, but he's pretty sure she doesn't know his name, which is fine. She seems nice, and she is a praetor, so he respect her.
💛 Leandra Lovelace 💛
"Good for a party, good for a laugh~"
Marco and Leandra get along pretty well, as they do have quite a bit in common. Both grew up in New York, both love fashion, but when Leandra talks politics, he's usually got a glazed look on his eyes. Especially when Leandra complains about not being Praetor.... Otherwise they get along well.
💛 Madalyne Crane 💛
"I could listen to her talk for hours~"
Marco and Madalyne get on pretty well, despite being in different Cohorts. He absolutely loves her accent and could listen to her talk for hours. He does wish she'd let him give her a bit of a make over, help her update her wardrobe, but he also does understand. Their relationship is a weird one at times, but he values her caring nature.
🌓 Niah Bautista 🌓
"The Oathkeeper... Do not cross her..."
They don't really interact much, and well... Niah doesn't seem to enjoy partying like Marco does.
💗Emily💗
"My love."
Marco and Emily have been in a relationship for several years. He was one of the first people to help her find true fitting clothing and their relationship bloomed from there. Marco might love many people, but in the end he always returns to Emily.
