First Memory: Sitting by a fireplace being warm
Most important childhood event that still affects him/her; how/why: His father telling him that to succeed, you have to want to do it by any means necessary. It still affects him because it gave him a drive to do well at what he did.
Other memories/events that still affects him/her; why/how: His grandfather telling him and his sister old Hungarian folktales, playing music with his sister at a young age, walking past homeless people on the street, his first piano recital, and as a child having his glasses stolen because kids wanted to burn ants to death.
Past failures s/he would be embarrassed to have people know about and why: Messing up in the middle of a piano recital, getting bad test grades, failing to keep his father from sacrificing people for his own gain, failing to save himself from being sacrificed and instead having to rely on mages, failing to even be able to heal himself, failing to be able to handle Baphomet on his own, failing to be able to handle Mr. Cassius and Ms. Ripley on his own, failing to be able to keep an entire restaurant full of people from being killed by Mr. Cassius and Ms. Ripley, failing to keep Dago from dying.
Biggest role model and why: Himself, because he's disillusioned with almost every adult he knows and because he's too prideful to have anyone else.
Biggest disillusions from childhood: Seeing crime in the world and watching people get away with it. As he got older, though, he stopped caring so much that they were getting away with it and began to realize more how he could benefit from it.
Backstory: Marian Havas II was born into a nouveau rich Hungarian family in New York City. He grew up privileged and soon attended Harvard Law and became a prosecuting attorney. However, before his final year at Harvard, his father tried to sacrifice him to the King of Greed, Mammon, but Marian was rescued by Dimitri Archer, the then Head of the Order of Eradicto Pravus. After about half a year, Dimitri named Marian his successor. Four years and a few months after Marian finished law school, Dimitri Archer died alongside Marian's friend-with-benefits Dago Vivar, and Marian became the new Head of the Order and gained immortality to help rebuild it.
