Marco (Shaman King)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Marco is a fictional character in the anime and manga series Shaman King.
Marco is one of the two founders of the X-Laws (the other being Luchist / Luka), which is a group that aims to rid the world of Hao Asakura (Zeke Asakura). His Archangel (Arch-Spirit in the English anime) is called Michael.
Marco is extremely loyal to the leader of the X-Laws, Iron Maiden Jeanne, and will stop at nothing to achieve what he believes will bring about Jeanne's ideals of a world free of corruption and evil. Like Jeanne, he tends to see issues in black and white; either something is good or evil. Those who join the X-Laws are considered good and those who do not are automatically evil and with Hao Asakura.
Because of his utter and complete devotion to Jeanne, he is the most devastated when Jeanne's attempt to destroy Hao by opening the Gate of Babylon fails. However, while the other X-Laws go to challenge Hao and avenge Jeanne's defeat, dying in the process, Marco becomes the only survivor (not counting Lyserg Diethel, who leaves the group to help Yoh Asakura).
As Yoh Asakura prepares to defeat Hao, Marco chooses to follow Jeanne's lead and places his faith in Yoh in hopes that Yoh will achieve what the X-Laws failed to do.
Manga
There are many details in Marco's life that the anime never shows. For instance, it shows his source of indignation against Hao.
In the manga, Marco is a car entrepreneur who was once friends with the head leader of the X-laws, Luchist. He later shows during his suicide attempt that his car company was on the verge of creating a new sports car, but gave up when Hao had apprently destroyed his house and all of his family.
Later, near the last 3 chapters, Marco is killed by Luchist.
