== About ==

~~Fighty, brash~~, and ~~always willing to speak her mind~~, ~~Window embodies~~ the ~~many traits~~ of ~~one raised~~ in the ~~eastern frontier~~. ~~Better known as Lady Governor Win~~ of [[~~Fort Shagogbot~~]], ~~she~~ was ~~appointed~~ to the ~~role by the Emperor when the outpost was upgraded to a Duchy. Her family~~ has ~~been in Fort Shagogbot for generations — carving out a foothold in~~ the ~~harsh land~~ since ~~the Fort’s inception~~.

Ser Marcus Redholt is a name etched into the annals of Directionland’s history—not by bloodline, but by duty. Born in [[Ironwood]] and raised through the military ranks, Marcus now serves as the Commander of the '''[[Knights of the Four Lions]]''', the oldest and most honored military order in the Empire. Founded in the age of [[Saint Stylinson]], the order was established to defend the first crowned king—and has guarded the throne ever since.

~~Despite her sometimes seemingly rough exterior and~~ the ~~iron fist with which she runs~~ the ~~city~~, ~~Win has a deep love for~~ the ~~people~~ of ~~Shagogbot, often going to great lengths to ensure~~ the ~~city’s safety and prosperity~~. ~~Governor Win is also known to be generous — sending aid to other cities in Directionland when in need. Win has a keen interest in politics~~, ~~though her emotions can occasionally get~~ in the ~~way~~.

For much of his life, Marcus served as '''the Emperor’s adjutant''', a position of profound trust. When [[Emperor Alexander XVII]] disappeared during the Crowley crisis, Marcus did not retreat—he stepped forward, taking on the monumental task of guiding the nation through its darkest hour. He now leads the [[Regency Council]], which governs in the name of the ailing [[Prince Ethian]]'''.'''

~~Win has been a long-time member of~~ the ~~[[Defenders of Mundus]]~~, ~~always willing to step in and help in~~ a ~~fight~~. ~~She’s also close friends with her city’s MP~~, ~~[[Lukas Battlan]], often sending letters back~~ and ~~forth to apprise him~~ of ~~the goings-on in the world~~. ~~Some joke they’re a little ''more'' than friends, especially with the frequency she sends letters and gifts, but Win~~ often ~~denies such things, teasing the relationship as “professionally platonic~~.”

Though rarely seen outside the palace, Marcus remains a commanding figure. He is not known for speeches or grand gestures, but for unwavering discipline and an unshakable sense of purpose. His decisions are often quiet—and final.

== Notable Traits ==

* ~~Often seen surveying Fort Shagogbot from her perch atop~~ the ~~redoubt~~

* Commander of the Knights of the Four Lions

* ~~Wields the sister sword (Shagogbot Savior)~~ to ~~a certain MP’s sword~~

* Former adjutant to Emperor Alexander XVII

* ~~Enjoys baking~~ the ~~Fort’s specialty: Shagogbot cookies~~

* Current head of the Regency Council and protector of Prince Ethian

* ~~Once raced the entirety of Ironwood to Fort Shagogbot on horseback to see how long it’d take “for fun”~~

* Revered by many for his incorruptible loyalty and service

</blockquote>

== The Knights of the Four Lions ==

Named for the four houses that first united to protect the crown, the order is said to have never broken rank in its thousand-cycle history. Ser Marcus is the only living person to have led it through both peacetime and civil upheaval without being removed or disgraced.

== Rumors ==

Some say ~~you can hear Win’s voice crying~~ on the ~~wind when a door is left open anywhere~~ in ~~Directionland: ''“Close~~ the ~~doors!”'' She may also be aware~~ of ~~some of Directionland’s previous “pasts~~.”

Some say Ser Marcus knows more than he lets on about the Emperor’s disappearance. Others believe he carries with him the last sealed orders of Alexander XVII, to be opened only in the event of the Empire’s final hour.
