Marcus Pallianor

Marcus Pallianor is a human fighter from Morelenas, and also carries the official title of Duke of Morelenas. As such, he sits on the White Council, though more often than not he cedes that position to his sister, Mariam, to whom he has also granted title to the family's estate in Tindon.

Marcus is the eldest son of Murphy Pallianor, who was himself the eldest son of Lord Morley, one of the architects of the White Alliance. His father died when he was very young, and he and his sister were raised primarily by their mother. During that time, Marcus' uncle, Milvey, was Marcus' proxy on the Council.

Like much of his family, though, he is more interested in adventuring than he is in politics, and for several years he traveled with Mello Yellow and his company, allowing his uncle Milvey to occupy his seat until his death two years ago in a mountain-climbing accident. Marcus attempted again to evade his responsibility, but Leviticus declined to take his place, citing his recent elevation to Dean of Invocation at Jar-Kahn. Thus, he officially holds the position as the eldest direct descendant of Lord Morley, although as noted, his sister typically speaks for him at council meetings.
