Prompt: In the dimly lit chamber of the mercenary camp, a deformed figure is shrouded in mystery: Markus, the enigmatic wizard of Captain Black's company. His appearance is marred by grotesque malformations, evidence of a curse inflicted on him by meddling demonologists during an interrupted summoning ritual. Markus bears the scars of nightly torment, both physical and spiritual, as malevolent demons relentlessly tear at his flesh and psyche. Despite his monstrous appearance, he plays a crucial role in the mercenary company as both a cashier and a wizard. The weight of his curse is hidden beneath dark, tattered robes that hide the extent of otherworldly afflictions. The origins of Markus' deformities remain shrouded in secrecy, known only to the Captain. The curse, a constant reminder of a broken summoning, drives Markus on a relentless quest for knowledge. Every evening, haunted by demonic forces within, he searches ancient tomes and scrolls in search of a solution to his predicament. Only the company captain, Captain Black, witnesses Markus' silent struggle. Aware of the wizard's desperate quest for redemption, Captain Black allows the group's mutual funds to be used to finance Markus' acquisition of elusive books and information. It's a burden shared between the brothers, an unspoken understanding that their enigmatic companion is on a quest to sever the chains of his demonic affliction. Markus, the tortured wizard with an insatiable thirst for knowledge, bears witness to the bonds forged within the mercenary company. His quest for redemption is seamlessly woven into the tapestry of the group's shared history, and as the company faces new challenges, Markus' presence is a constant reminder of the fragile balance between the corporeal and the supernatural.
