Marcus Braed

Appearance
Marcus has brown hair, cut to a reasonable length, and a light goatee. He is relatively tall, standing at 6'4, with a muscular build. Normally wearing the XCOM armor, off-duty, he wears a simple hoodie covering most of his face, willing to hide his face for an unknown reason.

Personality
Marcus is relatively unknown to anyone but the most high-ranked XCOM psychologist. Outwardly, he is blunt and to the point, not much for small talk. However, inwardly, he harbors feelings of loss, and carries the remains of a once bright candle that had died down a long time ago.

Weapons

 * Plasma Rifle
 * Main weapon, used to keep back enemies.


 * "Old Betty" Laser Pistol
 * A weapon Marcus carries with him, it is old, possibly as old as the Contact Defense War. It carries a scratched out symbol, that is unrecognizable.

Skills
Marcus has unmatched skill with the standard XCOM Medikit and medical tools. On field, he is able to not waste a single use of the healing mist, and is able to use medkits even when others assume the pack is empty. He is a decent shot, but his main combat strengths are his durability and his almost miracle-like ability  to heal others.

History
Marcus was born in Ontario, raised by normal parents. Before the Contact Defense War, Marcus planned on being a army man, and during the war, he fought in the Canadian Army for a while.

=WARNING: UNAUTHORIZED INFORMATION: ACCESS LEVEL 9+= Marcus eventually landed into the attention of Project: REBIRTH, due to his excellent medical skills on the battle field and his skill with a firearm, but his age is what almost disqualified with him. However, high powers within XCOM allowed Marcus to join the Project for a currently unknown reason.

Trivia

 * Marcus has a pendant that he carries around with him, of a small wooden angel. Sometimes, he is seen rubbing it for good luck.
 * Marcus does not like anyone asking question about his past, going as far as to assault the perpetrator and pound him into submission.
 * Marcus has been a avid celebrator of holidays of any faith, even ones of conflicting origins. Some personel think this is because of his upbringing while others believe that the Archangel spreads goodwill to all men even when off the battlefield. Marcus does not change his serious demeanor during this time, however.
