Marius au Raa starts as the misshapen son of Romulus, lurking in the shadows of his family's power on Raa with his covetous gaze and spider-like form. He suffers a brutal slashing that costs him his right ear and nearly his eye, marking him further as the family's damaged outlier. Flanking his father in key moments, he embodies the Rim's stoic resilience amid the escalating conflicts with Darrow's forces.

Description

An ugly Gold in his mid-twenties with a crisp dark goatee and close-cropped hair frames his overgrown forehead and jaw. Intelligent mismatched eyes peer from an anemic, rabbit-skinned face marred by small brown splotches on his neck. His spider-like frame features knobby joints and spindly appendages that lend him a covetous, predatory air. Marius is a misshapen, spindly Gold in his mid-twenties, his knobby joints and thin appendages giving him a spiderlike silhouette. His anemic, pale skin is marked by small brown splotches on his neck, and his overgrown forehead and jaw frame intelligent mismatched eyes. He wears his hair close-cropped and keeps a crisp, dark goatee; his right ear is missing. His covetous, icily watchful bearing makes his awkward frame feel unnervingly alert.
