Lore
From a very young age, Marcus saw the natural beauty of the world. He was often found looking intently at scenes or objects, occasionally scratching their picture in the ground. When he was old enough to enter school, his gift for painting was quickly identified. Though his natural talent, training and time, he became one of Runeterra's greatest artists. His paintings spanned genres and where beyond compare. Many of which where bought by collectors or held in galleries.

As he painted more and more of what he saw, his desire in capturing its essence grew. He started experimenting with dissolving magical runes into his paints, which gave them many more colors, as well as other side effects. Many see him as overcautious about spilling paint on himself or any surfaces, but only he truly knows what might happen.

Then one fateful day, one of his paintings vanished. It was not uncommon for his paintings to be stolen, but this one was unfinished. He had been commissioned by the League of Legends to paint an epic scene, of a match on the fields of justice, but whilst he slept one night it was taken.

His rage when he found out was unparalleled, someone had taken his work away, but the capturing of the scene was incomplete. He knew that the only reason someone would steal an incomplete painting would be to uncover the secrets behind his paint.

To find the evil-doer, Marcus contacted Vayne. He had heard that she has had experience in hunting down evil. Whilst searching for clues, Vayne convinced Marcus to remain at the League, to continue to paint the leagues many battles and champions, he now fights on the fields, throwing his painful paint at his foes, and beneficial at his allies. He continues to fight in the hopes that he will be strong enough to confront his enemy alone, when he finds them.
