# General Info
The dark and mysterious eminence who holds absolute sway over [[organization/the-black-hand|The Black Hand]]'s varied operations was originally an elaborate fiction, created by the Hand's founders during their period of exile from Haven as a means of instilling discipline and order in their newly recruited ranks. By using the gimmicks of a full face-concealing cowl and a low rasping whisper of a voice, "Marco" could be (and was, in fact) portrayed by several people enabling them to create the effect of being everywhere at once, a malevolent, fear-inspiring presence whose comings and goings could never be completely anticipated. In time, however, one of these founders decided to make Marco's single-handed dominion of the Hand a reality, and patiently but ruthlessly removed his fellow collaborators in the original deception over a period of several months. That man now has become so completely immersed in the megalomaniac personality of his namesake that he retains only shadowy vestiges of his former true identity (who was in daily life a successful and very wealthy legitimate merchant). 
 
 Marco is a undeniable criminal mastermind, who has single-handedly directed [[organization/the-black-hand|The Black Hand]]'s movement into a number of lucrative criminal activities theretofore shunned or given short shrift by the more traditional Thieves Guild, and its accretion of a significant number of low-level government and intercity contacts whose cooperation has been assured. He is also undeniably mentally unbalanced, . a psychopathic paranoid who trusts none of his associates completely, and maintains a dozen separate aliases under a variety of disguises to protect his personal safety. His organization reflects his own murderous and merciless temperament. He has no qualms about shedding blood - even that of the innocent - in order to obtain his objectives, and believes in making rather graphic examples of those who fail him, or cross his directives. 
 
 Marco's own thiefly skills are modest (he's a planner, not a participant, in such operations), but he has developed an exceptional skill with thrown weapons of all types, and is rumored to have some modest spell-casting abilities. He wears two types of magical defenses at all times, but has no personal bodyguards, and his secret identity remains his best protection. Although, as noted, he trusts none of his lieutenants fully,, the only one he truly fears is [[person/angelina|Angelina]]; [[person/cariadoc|Cariadoc]], though equally ambitious, is considered by Marco to be a man of straight forward violence, and not the sort to launch any type of subtle intrigue against him. He has observed the former's efforts to identify his haunts and weaknesses with cautious interest, and has felt the need to send her a not-so-subtle warning on two occasions when her snoopers have gotten too close for comfort.
