Marz

Marz was the unofficial second-in-command of Odeslani, acting mainly as its judge, record-keeper, and entertainer during festivals. Due to his odd manner of speaking, he communicated almost exclusively with Darina, and later, the party.

While they were in town, he trained Yasha, advising her that the truth was the only way to deal with every situation, including Silvy's mistrust of family. He also revealed to Londrich that the sorcerer is a descendant of the First King of humanity, Voske Agavor. Why a jester in a small human village would know this has not been explained, nor has it really been questioned.

During the Siege of Odeslani, Marz led the human battalion along with Darina. He mostly kept to the shadows, sneaking behind and through elven squads, though when Sachairi flung a wall of acid through the Odeslanites, he retaliated by killing the gnome. When Darina was blinded, he got her to safety before continuing the battle. Though he survived, he did not make it through the aftermath of Odeslani.

Marz wears a mask and strange dress at all times. Only once did he reveal his face to Londrich, showing a golden third eye in the center of his forehead. Marz' skin is a dark brown and he lacks epicanthal folds, as opposed to the rest of Odeslani, making it clear that it is not the town of his birth. His origin, as well as the nature of his third eye, is a mystery, and may call into question his humanity.
