Alexander himself did not believe he would become famous for taking out notorious criminals or bringing them to such justice but it was an ideal place for him to start. His life before then?

THE CALL HAS BEEN SENT FORTH!! GO HEROES AND PROTECT THIS LAND! (IC)
 
HOW WERE YOU PICKED OUT FOR THE GROUP?: Expert Archer and King's Royal Guardsman; one of the few that hangs about in banquets and parties because of his skills and manner, so he was sent as something of a representative [Do tell if I must change this]
NAME: Markus Morten
AGE: 38
APPEARANCE:
http://waterdeep.freeforums.org/download/file.php?id=657
PERSONALITY: Courteous and generous, kinder to the female spectrum from his own personal type of sexism ["Men are monsters, but women are often not, and when they are, they have the decency to do kill you gently"], and generally agreeable, though can be angered if he is ignored when he attempts to add a valid suggestion. Also believing in a very isolated, rare religion, believing in not a God or multiple Gods, but rather of a single omnipresent Goddess, with various separate personalities that control different things.

SKILLS:
Primary: Hand-to-hand combat. Includes knives and in some cases, shortswords. Prefers to beat the crap out of you than stab you, which is why he was quite suitable for dinners and parties; he didn't need to have any weapons.
Secondary: Logical Reasoning. He's the one that'll 'spot' a trap, simply by thinking of Where would I put it?
Tertiary: Swordsmanship; Carries a very large 'great-sword' on his back, smithed just for him, named 'Blackbiter' for its very distinctive black blade, though the rest of it is gold-colored, purple-colored, and leather brown colored. Only used for encounters with heavily armed enemies, so it usually stays in a special scabbard on his horse.

BACK STORY: Markus was born to a family of High Nobles, of a trade that he never bothered to learn. From the start, Markus was a natural at combat. He grew up running about his family's halls, and many times, the King's own halls, due to his family's close association with him. At an early age, it appeared to be agreed on that he would be taken under the King's wing for training as a royal guard. Markus never learned why, or how, this arrangement came to pass, but he grew up training and learning, and eventually coming into the time at which he can become a full guard. Because of close association with the King, he never remembered much of his parents or family.
RELATIONSHIPS: Royal Guards are too busy to have enough free time to formulate relationships with any particular person. He does, however, have the trust and a bit of a friendship with the King
