MARBOZ
The long-haired Marboz, like the other dark mages of his circle, gave
praise to fallen
Implementors. Secretly living in the shadows of the
Millicus district of
Mareilon, they worshipped these constantly hungry
and demanding demons, including
Belegur himself. These magicians paid
homage to them and gladly received
their powers of destruction, in exchange for being theirs to
sacrifice.
Zarfil, the leader of the 398 GUE revolution in
Mareilon, needed every weapon available for the succession. The rebel
leader found it unlikely that the local Millicus gangs could
overcome their own inherent stupidity and hate for each other in time
to form a viable fighting force. Familiar with the forms of dark
communion employed in their mysterious halls of worship, he had arrived
at the conclusion that the best possible weapon in the struggle that
lay ahead would be the force of dark magic. As Marboz was the strongest
of the dark magicians he could find, Zarfil allied with him. Marboz
promised Zarfil that they would be perfectly protected from all magic
cast against them. Knowing that the remainder of Mareilon would not
support him if they knew about the allegiance with the dark magicians,
Zarfil decided to keep it a secret for the time. Even his own rebel
soldiers were kept in the dark about the mysterious magicians, who
worked in secret, isolated even from each other, toiling ceaselessly in
creation of powerful spells that would destroy the opposition.
Marboz
was not present in Zarfil's initial rally at
Beeblebrox Square on the
4th of
Oracle, 398 GUE. But when the rebellion began, the dark
magicians took the front lines. One by one, over half of Mareilon's
fighting force was blinked out of existence by their demonic
powers. Panic ran through many of the militia units as young men
already unwilling to fight saw their life-long friends disappear before
their eyes. Some units however had been spared the devastation. Thus
when Zarfil marched into the
Citadel, there was almost no resistance
along the eastern half of the marketplace.
Marboz marched with
Zarfil and the rest of his army to the
Jerrimore Plains. It was one of
Marboz's mind-probes which found the captured
Endeth to be a
servant of a fallen Implementor. Although Zarfil's armies were
completely annhilated at the Plains by the
Nezgeth tribe, Marboz's
involvement in the battle and his fate are not known.
