Marcus

Marcus is the most recent member of the Cypress Coven.

Biography
Marcus was found by Aryst buried deep underground with a small metal plate (presumably something leftover from a rotted coffin) reading only Marcus's name. After Aryst woke Marcus from his slumber, Marcus found himself unable to remember anything from his past life. Aryst could sense Marcus' latent powers but was frustrated by Marcus' timidity and apparent inability to use his powers. Once he became sufficiently fed-up with Marcus, Aryst called in a favor owed to him by Soul and pawned Marcus off on her. At the time, Soul did not have any way of housing Marcus and put him up in a room at Jordan and Nathaniel's house. Soul eventually ended up moving in herself and with the eventual addition of Dilan, Marcus had a makeshift family that he eventually opened up to. After six months, Aryst called a meeting with Marcus' 'family' and the coven. Seeing Aryst regressed Marcus back to the trembling vampire he was before moving in with Soul, so Aryst decided that Marcus still was not worth his time and released him from the coven and Soul from their agreement. None of Marcus' family (with the possible exception of Nathaniel) wanted to separate so they continued their living arrangements.

Personality
Marcus is very timid and jumpy. He seldom speaks to people and is known to "shut down" on occasion. On such occasions, he simply stares blankly into space. When he is brought out of such episodes, it takes him some time to remember who he and the people around him are. Eloise has speculated that this is a result of Marcus going without using his mind or body for so long.

Powers
Marcus appears unable to do much of anything in his normal state but when angered, Marcus changes dramatically. He is able to summon shadows to cling to his enemies and drag them into the ground.

Trivia

 * It is possible that Marcus regains his memories and true personality when he accesses his powers but this has not been confirmed as Marcus has only done so once and did not speak during that time.
