His hair is usually barely kempt, most often just brushed back.

He is fiercely loyal to those who have been good to him and is a protector by nature. He's got a very driven personality in that, once given a task, he will stop at nothing until it is complete. He's not above using trickery or bending the truth to achieve his goals. He is highly competitive and stern in his decision making, valuing logic over emotion. He tends to be quick tempered and, passed a certain point, he's been known to go into a full fit of rage letting the beast within take over.

He's not opposed to exploring a relationship with someone else, but it's definitely not his top priority.

While Edward was very much a stern second-in-command as he role demanded, Catalina was much more free spirited and nurturing when raising Marrok. Because of his association with his father, Marrok was always treated with inherited respect from his peers within the extended family. There was only one among them who dared sneer at the Valentines, a rogue amongst the pack who wanted Catalina for his own and resented not only losing at his shot but Marrok himself, the product of his failed attempt to court his love. This beast went by the name Ryker. One night, when the last thread of his sanity finally snapped, Ryker decided to attack Marrok, successfully slashing his shoulder before his mother stepped in and took the larger wolf head-on by herself. In a blind rage, Ryker reacted as an emblazoned wolf would. When Edward came home that night, he found his son crying upon the body of his dead wife. Edward sought Ryker out and made sure that no one would recognize his remains once he was through with him. Since then, the light in the family unit had grown dark. Both Valentine men blamed themselves for being unable to protect their matriarch. From that day forward, Marrok trained and trained hard with the help of his father to be a wolf that could protect the rest and take down whatever threat dared loom. It was no surprise to Edward that Marrok received an invitation for Alpha Prep, though he would certainly be disappointed if Marrok returned with anything but absolute victory over the challenge.

I'll make that happen."
