Marcus Purcell

Marcus Purcell, the Spider of Chicago. His web extends into almost every dirty little secret across the city. Between innumerable agents and a massive, prescient network of Fate magic at his disposal, there are few things in the city that slip his notice.

Early Life
Marcus, his birthname unkown, was born into a Saxon tribe in the early, borderless days of the Rhineland in the Dark Ages. Such times are mostly lost to his long memory. He experienced his awakening at some point in the early 6th Century. Nearly a decade later, he was discovered by a man who is known today as the late Pendleton Jacobs.

Pendleton took the young Mage's soul, molded it, and burned it in the crucible of his own soulless husk. Leaving Marcus without a soul, but now transformed, for he had inherited Pendleton's hunger.

Tremere Liches, such as Pendleton, and now the young Marcus, descended from a clan of Vampires who attempted Diablerie on Mages take the souls of others to sate their own fading existence. Should a Lich be without souls for a significant length of time, they will fade from the world. However, should an adequate supply be on hand, they may live for eternity.

And such as it was, Marcus and Pendleton ventured the known world for well over a hundred years before division and resentment drove them apart. Marcus fled his vindictive, abusive master and lived alone for centuries.

Modern Days
At an unkown date, (estimated to be sometime in the 18th Century), Marcus took to the Koimanoi, otherwise known as the "Death Sleep". In which a Lich descends into a sort of stasis not unlike that of a Torpid Vampire. He was awakened in 1903 by one Tessa Duquesne, as part of an expedition funded by the Ordo Dracul. Tessa, fascinated by her discovery, nursed him to health and saw to it that they were never seperated, despite her collegues attempts to dissect and observe.
