Biography
Quintilius Ganger was the second-in-command of Zaran Orlef of the Banished Moons, a faction of moon elves that were banished from and fought against the rule of the Moon Wardens. He lead the construction of several settlements on Sivurn meant to be a safe haven for all, until the Moon Wardens attacked and destroyed the Strange Cities. When Zaran went all evil and wanted to invade Sivurn to protect it, Marble lead a rebelling faction against him. In a final confrontation on a dead world, Marble and Zaran fought and were both killed by Volatar, the third leader of the Banished Moons (who was actually not really Volatar but a fake Volatar controlled by Sythus).
When Quintilius awoke on Sivurn in the mountains of Calvastus, he had no memory of who he was, where he was, or what had happened to him. He didn't even know his own name. He also realized he was a sentient undead skeleton beneath his advanced armor, which he didn't understand. After coming to and assessing his surroundings, he traveled to the nearby village of Valenhomme where he was helped by the engineer Otis. Otis helped Quintilius with his armor and gave him his notebook, and Quintilius helped Otis with his aerowings. After seeing Jasper, Otis told Quintilius about Meat Squad and Cardinal's Reach and the renowned research library at the guildhall in Allum. Quintilius decided this would be where he'd go next to try to learn more about himself. He went to Allum and convinced then-guildmaster Wise-Sky to let him join the guild.
On his first mission, Quintilius was partnered with Luden Gan, who gave him the nickname Marble based on the appearance of his white armor. They would be sent to investigate the Strange City of Thysalis.
Marble would later join Meat Squad and adventure with them for a time.
