Marcus Flint
MinorHis trollish scowl and hulking presence make the air feel thicker, like he's sizing up prey. There's a brutish edge to his every move, promising rough play and no mercy. You can't help but brace for the collision.
Marcus Flint emerges as the brutish captain of Slytherin's Quidditch team in Harry's early years at Hogwarts, embodying the house's ruthless antagonism through foul-laden matches and trollish intimidation. In Philosopher's Stone, he leads aggressive games against Gryffindor, while in Chamber of Secrets, his dirty tactics amid a rogue bludger heighten house rivalries shadowing the Chamber mystery.

Physical Description
Marcus Flint is a stocky sixth-year with a distinctly troll-like face, featuring heavy brows, a jutting jaw, and uneven yellowed teeth that flash in sneers. His sallow skin stretches over a broad, ugly visage, framed by lank dark hair. He wears the green Slytherin Quidditch robes tightly over his muscular build, exuding a brutish, intimidating presence. A very large teenager with a hulking, broad-shouldered build and distinctly trollish face—protruding uneven teeth, heavy brow, and small sly eyes glinting with cunning. Lank dark hair hangs unkempt over his green and silver Slytherin Quidditch robes. He carries himself with brutish swagger, broom in hand like a weapon.
