Artwork for Marcus Moore

Character

Marcus Moore

Created by Alistair Redmont

Marcus Moore was born to a human mother and elven father in the glittering underground data havens of New Meridian, where he quickly earned a reputation as the most fearless netrunner in the criminal underworld, jacking into corporate servers with nothing but his wits and an unshakeable appetite for chaos. His meteoric rise through the ranks of digital thieves ended abruptly when a rogue AI defense system caught him mid-hack and severed his dominant hand as a warning, forcing him to replace it with an ornate prosthetic of burnished steel and intricate engravings that became his badge of honor rather than shame. Embracing his newfound notoriety, he adopted the persona of a high-stakes gambler and information broker, donning a theatrical dracula mask and filling his top hat's band with playing cards—each one representing a different corporate executive he'd blackmailed or ruined. His towering frame, coupled with his meticulously tailored black overcoat embroidered with royal patterns and his distinctive elven ears, made him an unmistakable figure in every underground casino and black-market auction house from coast to coast. Marcus operates by no moral code save his own amusement, taking jobs that interest him regardless of their legality or consequences, and his metallic hand has become legendary in hacker circles as the instrument of both creation and destruction. Whether he's cracking unbreakable encryption or orchestrating the downfall of entire criminal syndicates on a whim, Marcus Moore remains a chaotic force of nature—half-human ambition, half-elven mystique, and entirely unpredictable.
