Marcus Hargrave Xenoria, a massive leonid and representative on the Continental Council, arrives with the physical force of an angry, snow-white hillock. His hard leathers and predatory grin make him seem built for danger, while his deep leonid rumble commands attention. He meets Jason in the course of council business, balancing an imposing adventurer’s presence with the responsibilities of representation.

Description

Marcus is a massive, muscular leonid, one of the largest of his kind, covered in dense snow-white fur and crowned by a huge white mane. His broad face carries a predatory grin that exposes many very large teeth, and his deep, rumbling voice adds to his formidable presence. He wears hard, practical leather gear suited to adventuring and is associated with a heavy axe. His sheer bulk gives him the aspect of a furred hillock brought to life.
