[QUOTE="redhound, post: 1150455, member: 14574"] [b]Marcus[/b] A man pushes himself up from his chair on Marie’s right; he seems to have some difficulty standing. His age is difficult to judge -- a veteran’s dark eyes crown the smooth cheeks of a youth. His skin seems a bit sallow in the pale Alpine light from the windows above, and he lists a bit as he stands, but his voice is strong. "Salvete," he rumbles. "I am Marcus filius Drusus of House Jerbiton. I was trained at the Scuola di Santa Sophia." A brief disgusted look flits across Marie’s face as he continues. "The Scuola, in the event that you have heard otherwise, is a society of philosophers in Venezia. Their devotion is the study of the alchemical arts, and through them the mysteries of storms and ocean tempests. They feel that their destiny and that of the maritime Republic are inextricably entwined, you see. My own interests, however, are … less provincial. And so here I stand." Marcus smiles as he looks around the room. "I have no doubt, socii," he says, "We shall do great things together." "Plans to make the earth tremble, however, are perhaps a topic for another day.
