In the heart of Adaria sits Marlod, a man aged by wisdom rather than years. Age is but a number to him - 68 revolutions around the sun have chiselled him into a grand sculpture of assertiveness, well-groomed with a sprinkle of silver hair and a voice that reverberates deep and mellow.

Marlod is of sturdy build and carries himself with the poise of a stag, asserting an aura of tranquillity even in the face of calamity. His face, marked by age and sun, is the canvas of his life – a collage of laughter lines and sunken eyes that hold an age-old tale of joy, sorrow, sacrifices and victories. A pair of deep-set, almond-shaped azure eyes flicker with the brilliance of divine fire, deep and wise. His pupils are flecks of obsidian, reflecting a lifetime spent studying ancient scrolls and casting powerful spells.

The venerable mage dresses simply, wearing an unadorned sweeping robes of dark red, signifying the very element he has devoted his life to control and understand - fire. His garb remains untouched by the wear and tear of time, maintaining a vibrant allure that makes him stand out in a crowd. Encircling his forehead is a golden circlet, embedded with a single ruby, a reflection of his devotion to the Fire Temple, and now, his position as Sir Loence White's battle mage.

Marlod has spent most of his life under the discipline of the Fire Temple, meditating, studying, and harnessing the raw power of fire. The essence of the fiery element doesn’t only reside in his magic spells, but also in his personality. He is passionate, headstrong, and stubborn, yet bound by a sense of responsibility. Often times, he's firm, unyielding, a living embodiment of the fiery power that he commands, but behind all that boisterousness hides a captivating tenderness.

The Fire monk's heart ablazes with an intensified sense of justice. Born from the fire of zeal, he's not one who'd cower or capitulate. Once a peaceful monk of the Fire Temple, he’s now found himself in the heart of the Uraian absolute havoc as Sir Lorence White's battle mage, fighting a war that contradicts his inner peace. Yet his sagacity and honor drive him to restore balance and peace in Adaria. This juxtaposition of calm and chaos, tranquility and turbulence, is the compelling contradiction that charges Marlod's life with unbearable tension, making him an extraordinary masterpiece.
