Marco Beckenbauer

Marco Beckenbauer is the son and only child of Elijah Beckenbauer and Orsina Castello, and is the First Commander of The Order of The Blood. It was he who was responsible for adapting the Order from an outspoken military group to a stealthy and secretive society that acted discreetly and held no territories - it was this that saved the Order from extinction in a new world where Demigods are both feared and hated.

Childhood
Marco grew up in his mother's care outside of Ordino in the Spanish Dukedoms, far away from The Order and his father. He was segregated from the rest of society, not allowed outside the boundaries of their farmstead in the mountains - his mother claimed this was for his own protection because of 'what they were'. As such Marco never received a state education, taught only the basics of survival by his mother. He never truly learnt how to control or hide his powers from the world at this age.

Orsina grew bitter and resentful at having to care for a child she had never wanted. She often spoke hatefully of Marco's father in front of her child, distorting Marco's view of his father's behaviour towards women and children. From the age of 12 he decided that he wanted to try and find his father and ask him why he abandoned him and his mother - Orsina soon drove the idea from his mind, but curiosity got the better of Marco by the time he came of age at 18.
