**Marius**

Marius mingled with the other Ylissean Knights as the ragtag followers of the proclaimed “Champion of Naga” entered into the courtroom of Exalt’s palace.  The cavalier was partially baffled at how young the majority of the “Champion’s” followers were.  And the only man who looked a little older than Marius himself did not seem of good character.  Kids and Sellswords, it seemed.  Was this really the party that was supposed to do Naga’s will?

At the moment, Marius decided to stand back and wait for the Exalt’s reaction to this motley band of warriors.  While he did indeed attempt to position himself closer to get a better view, Marius bided his time until he would reveal himself, if such a time was even necessary.  For if the Exalt, and therefore Ylisse, turn their back on this group, what would any introduction do?   His role was to help protect this kingdom and he has dedicated his life to that.  Why change now?
