Description: He is scrawny and has patchy white stubble. He is dressed in earthy colors with a black and white handkerchief worn on his left side. He has a hunchback. His white hair is slicked back into a classic pompadour. His voice is smooth and creepy, always level, but somehow just slightly unnerving.

Personality: His voice, at times compared to that of a Nymph, lambasts those who consider themselves "civilized" with snide, belittling remarks; the subtle growl he speaks with growing louder in doing so, one can find it most pronounced, despite the otherwise natural purity of his tone. He loves teas. He is very sensitive about his face. To blow off anger he lifts weights and to control his otherwise explosive temper he works out a lot.

History: He was born blind and as such lacked many opportunities for work. He was an adventurer many years ago and he formed a blood bond with his Half-Elven companion (his 'brother'). During his travels, Marbas and his party rested in a cavern that was (unknown to them) infused with powerful dark magic. Upon awakening, Marbas discovered the rest of his party dead, transformed into horrible, mindless undead versions of their former selves. Marbas fled the cavern, stopping for breath at a small pool, and only then realizing his own horrible transformation.
