Legacy: Sargon the Sorcerer/Sargon the Sorcerer II
WW II Predecessor: Sargon the Sorcerer
Name: Marcus Sargent
Alias: Sargon the Sorcerer
Relationship to Predecessor: Son of Sargon the Sorcerer II, Great Grandson to Sargon the Sorcerer
Age: 28
Powers/Skills/Equipment: Marcus possess the Ruby of Life which grants him the ability to control and reshape what he touches. He is also a skilled sorcerer allowing him to perform amazing feats as long as he has enough time to perform the required spell. Before inheriting the Ruby of Life Marcus tried his hand at stage magic. Nothing like what he is known for now, but rather sleight of hand, midsection and the normal assortment escape artist stunts.
Weaknesses: He is no more durable than a normal human and his spells take varying amount of time to cast making some of them unviable during actual combat.
Appearance:
Predecessor's History: David Sargent, the second Sargon, dropped out of college and became a drifter. The man lacked in real direction in his life. While drifting he was sought out by the Ruby of Life, guided by his grandfather, in hopes that he would follow in his footsteps. David kept to mystical emergencies rather than dealing with normal criminals or even the war in Europe until he sacrificed himself in hell to allow several other heroes to escape the pit. It wasn’t until after his death did he become aware that he had gotten a woman pregnant during his time as a drifter. So, much like his grandfather before him he sent the Ruby of Life to the last of the Sargent line so that Sargon would live again.
BRIEF Bio: Marcus lived with his mother and knew nothing about his father or his ties to the supernatural. Early life was simple and as happy as it could be with a mother devoted to making more of herself and certain that she didn’t need any help from a drifter to raise her son. That was until Marcus was nearly ten years old and he was woken in the middle of the night by a ruby floating above him as he lay in bed. It told him about his great grandfather and then his father after that. It spoke of World War Two, monsters, demons, Nazis, hell and even the nature of sacrifice. His great grandfather was trapped in purgatory and his father would never be free from the pits of hell, but now it was his turn to choose. Would he take up the ruby and do as those two damned men had or would he turn and hide from his responsibility as his grandfather had done?
His mother hadn’t needed any help raising a son that would do the right thing and somedays she regretted that. Marcus had accepted the Ruby of Life and went on a journey of discovery. Discovery of the self, horror, power, responsibility, and above all else, sacrifice. He learned many lessons as a teen and Europe burned under the heel of Master Man. As much as he wanted to help the European countries he knew he wasn’t ready. Even when the war had finally come to America he wasn’t sure he was ready, but now he was out of time and it was time to join the fight.
Additional Notes: Like his father before him the Ruby of Life is imbedded in his chest.
