Valentina Marcaius

Valentina Marcaius is an Imperial commander of the Legion. Coming from a troubling past, she put forth such troubles intro becoming an important member of the legion, wanting to do good in a society full of corruption and power abuse. Though good hearted, she can be merciless when it comes to serving justice.

Early Life
Hailing from the planet of Cyrodiil, Valentina came from quite unique, yet abject circumstances before attaining her rank of commander in the Imperial Legion. She grew up as the youngest child with 2 older sisters and 3 brothers, often receiving the short end of the stick when it came to the standard pampering of the Marcaius family; a group of nobles and politicians obsessed with keeping up their own self-image among Imperial politics. As a child, she was heavily influenced by her siblings, most of which following the path to become politicians- something she took no interest in. However, her oldest sister Octavia took a separate path from the rest of the family as tensions grew among them, wanting to do more for the people rather than please the politicians.

Moving to Tamriel
Octavia was only 24 when she founded her humanitarian mission to Tamriel, wanting to help those in need while using stolen funds from the family. Valentina was hardly 13 when such plans were made, and seeing her sister as a role model, begged to accompany her. Albeit slightly unsure of taking on such a task of taking Valentina from her family, Octavia agreed, as well as convincing their 22-year-old brother Luca to come along. Valentina was eager to follow her siblings to another world, though such large amounts of funds gone missing as well as the sudden disappearance of 3 members of the family was bound to raise immediate alarm. However, the brother having an underhanded profession as a programmer and hacker alongside becoming a lawyer made it easier to cover their digital tracks and divert their trail from their whereabouts.

Humanitarian Work and Capture
Valentina helped her siblings with establishing a base of operations on Tamriel, recruiting those there in need of employment in return for basic necessities such as food, shelter, and water. It was a nice change for her to be able to help others regardless of being raised by such a ruthless and corrupt family, despite such a feat being difficult while trying to avoid being caught by their family. Bounties on Octavia and Luca were everywhere for theft and the kidnapping of Valentina, raising suspicion across empire controlled space, meaning one small slip-up would cost them their lives. Unfortunately, making deals with those living off of the grid meant limited access to background check, forcing them to rely on their own gut feelings when it came to potential outlaws and miscreants. Making a deal to provide a supposed run-down medical clinic with supplies ended up being a massive mistake, springing a trap set by the Marcaius family themselves. 2 years after the siblings’ disappearance, the family received a tip off from a criminal organization with whom they had secret ties to. The group was instructed to eliminate the two older siblings and return Valentina to the family under the suspicion she was kidnapped. Upon arriving to their base- the so-called “clinic-" the three were seized, and Valentina was made to watch as her older brother and sister were executed while she was injected with a paralyzing agent and eventually returned to the family.

Return to the family, Escape, and the Legion
Scarred for life, Valentina was kept in solitary confinement within the household after her return. Three years had passed until she had synthesized a plan to escape from their grasp, and seeing only one way out of this mess, she stuck with it. When the housekeeper came to check up on her, she took the chance and attacked them, bludgeoning them on the side of the head with a steel lamp and rupturing an artery, killing them. She then bolted out of the house after stealing the keys, but didn’t get very far; Valentina was eventually caught while trying to book a flight off of Cyrodiil and back to Tamriel, and was arrested under the charge of first-degree murder. She was given the choice of either death or serving in the Legion until she was either killed or died of natural causes; she chose the latter. Despite her being one of the many serving to pay off their time, she was treated with much more brutality than those serving voluntarily due to her crime. This, coupled with her given trauma shaped her into a fine, yet ruthless soldier. Proving herself to be a reliable addition, she rose through the ranks, eventually hitting the rank of Commander. Despite her unfortunate circumstances during her childhood and teens, she has proven her worth in the military, eventually gaining the respect of those who were once her greatest critics. Nevertheless, she still faces scrutiny of those close to her family who continuously prove to be her biggest obstacle that still must be overcome.
