The first leader of Velikorossiya in its modern form, he liked chocolate cookies and comic books, during his lifetime he personally led his army against Nazi-Deutschland in the Madagascar Wars, entered the United Soviet of Socialist Republics, founded the Superstate of Soviet Republics, had a leading seat on the United Nations and was a sitting Councilman on the North American Coalition Council. He expanded his empire's reach to include the Wisconsin-Maryland Territory, the Galapagos Islands, and the island of Trinidad. On the first of October, PD 167, hell ill, passing away a week later, at the age of 134. Before his death he appointed his closest living relative, Aleksandr Romanov, as acting Chairman in his absence, Aleksandr later succeded him to the throne, he was, however, unfortunately defeated in his bid for the position of Executive Chairman by his longstanding rival Leyonid Vasilyev, who has drastically different views from Marius' chosen successor, being openly accused by Marius himself as a vicious warmonger.
Following his resurrection as a Holy Half Dead in PD 182 at the hands of Jester, who is Rasa Incarnate, Marius retook his seat of power, using simple means, he showed up and scared the living shit out of then current-Czar Mikhail the Mello. Mikhail soon abdicated in Marius' favor, who set up a diarchy, in which both Marius and Mikhail are recognized as Czars of Greater Russia, creating the first counterbalance for the Czars' power since the death of Aresanctus. Marius soon moved on to challenge Leyonid Vasilyev for his seat as Executive Chairman, following Vasilyev's refusal, Marius promptly and unceremoniously went lycan and tore Leyonid Vasilyev limb from limb.
During the Third Ashen War, Holy Half Dead Czar Marius I oversaw a master plan, one that would save his people, he sacrificed his humanity. Many of the details are unknown, or overly sketchy, but Marius managed to create a single being between himself and the thousands of Ashen he came across, and later, the Recently Dead even became a part of him. Marius reemerged as a powerful being, one not seen in several millennia, a Psychopomp of the Immaterial. His obsorbing of the Recently Dead of the Third Ashen War allowed them to pass into the Underverse, giving them true peace. Marius now can take an Immaterial form, as he is made up of matter memory, where he constantly ebbs and flows, he can never sleep, and if he is not careful, he will simply dissipate into the Cosmos. He possesses the ability to pull himself together into his old form as a mortal, but that takes an extreme amount of concentration, and is very taxing on his power.
When Marius emergerd from the Creation, he emerged a new being.
Psychopomp of the Immaterial, Marius the Unliving.
