Marcus Corvinus is the first Vampire in the Underworld mythos, portrayed by Tony Curran . He is the son of the first Immortal and was bitten by a bat, thus making him into a vampire. BIOGRAPHY Marcus is one of three sons of Helena and Alexander Corvinus . He, along with his twin brother William , inherited the same virus which transformed his father into the first true Immortal . Marcus has a strong bond with William. While, William was bitten by a wolf which resulted into him becoming the first Lycan , or werewolf, Marcus was bitten by a bat which transformed him into the first Vampire . William went on to ravage the countryside of Hungary , infecting the populace with his highly infectious Lycanthropy virus. In order to combat the growing lycan threat, Marcus was forced to create the Death Dealer s, an army of Vampires dedicated to the extermination of the lycan race. Marcus also approached Viktor , a dying warlord, to borrow his military genius in exchange for immortality. Viktor accepted and became one of the Vampire Elders. Viktor started to gather more power to himself to become the true leader of the Vampires, going as far as to alter history into naming him as the original Vampire. Later, Marcus also personally infected Amelia , making her a Vampire Elder. Marcus supposedly frowned upon the practice of feeding on humans. In 1202 , Viktor led a charge into a Hungarian village which William supposedly passed through. Instead of finding only William, they found an entire village of lycans. The Death Dealers injured William gravely before Marcus, who pleaded for his brother's life before Viktor. Viktor, knowing that if any of the Corvinus brothers was killed the immortal bloodline will eventually die, locked William far away from the reach of Marcus. Marcus, then swore vengeance against Viktor and all those loyal to him. After William was captured, the "Chain" was constructed, a system when only one Elder ruled while the other two slumbered. Supposedly, Marcus ruled the two covens (the New World and Old World), but power was truly in the hands of Viktor, the ruler of the Old World coven. Marcus claimed that he enjoyed the company of Andreas Tanis , the Official Historian of the Coven, most likely because Tanis knew that Marcus was indeed the original vampire. The Blood of the lycan Scientist Singe, who was killed by a death blow from Viktor's claws, revived the slumbering Marcus. Thus, Marcus became a Vampire-lycan Hybrid , with newfound powers. He gained bat wings which no vampire ever achieved. He slew Kraven , not before learning the regent's memories, and burned down Ordoghaz , the Old World Coven . Determined that the time has come to free William, he sought to find Selene , who held half of the key to William's dungeon. He learned from Tanis, that the other half was held by his father, who retrieved it from Viktor's body. Retrieving both keys, he released William from his dungeon, their bond so strong that even the crazed William refused to harm his brother. Marcus combated Selene, and was enraged when Michael , Selene's hybrid lover, killed William. Marcus drove a wing-spike through Selene, who survived due to her drinking of Corvinus' blood. However, Marcus was distracted by the death of his twin, and wracked by shock and disbelief. These emotions caused him to be temporarily stunned and off guard and gave Selene her opportunity. She broke off the spike and impaled Marcus' head with it before shoving him backwards into helicopter blades, killing him. EXTERNAL LINKS |
