Often mistaken for one of the greater demons and frequently called
the Demon Lord, Marlu delights in death, destruction, and the devouring
of still-living prey. Tales tell of Marlu being seen around ancient
ruins, prying open old chambers and delving into all manner of spaces.
Common legend has it that he seeks others of his kind to loose upon
the innocents of Elanthia.
Just as some believe Koar is actually the
last Drake, there are those who hold that Marlu is a true Ur-Daemon
who sought asylum with the Arkati when the rest of his kind were
killed or driven out of this realm of existence.
Marlu derives power from the summoning of demons, one reason that
such practices are frowned upon by many worshippers of the Light
Gods. Whether his power comes in the same manner as other Arkati,
or from the loosening of the portals between dimensions, is unknown.
Marlu is also drawn to all manners of destruction. More than any
other of the Dark Gods, Marlu seems bent on destruction of a scale
so massive that it might actually eliminate the world and all his
worshippers with it. While Eorgina personifies
power over others, Marlu is the embodiment of personal destructive
power.
Marlu’s preferred manifestation is that of a gruesome creature
with glistening black skin, leathery wings and barbed tentacles.
In manner, he is demonic. His symbol is a black six tentacled "star"
on a field of grey.
