The Duke of Selisshan, a territory in Western Alacia near the Arad'uun border. His father and the former Rainahd chief were allies.

* BadassLonghair / BadassLongcoat
* CelibateHero: His loyalty still [[{{IncrediblyLamePun}} lies]] with his deceased fiancee.
* CombatPragmatist
* ConsummateLiar: He prefers being truthful, but if he has to lie, he does it very well.
* ElementalPowers: Fire, earth, wind, and lightning.
* GentlemanAndAScholar
* GuileHero: Most of his personality was based on this concept. Not his name, though.
* IcyBlueEyes: Piercing and icy. Ironically, water and ice are the only kinds of elemental magic he can't use.
* LivingLieDetector: No supernatural abilities for it; he's just good at reading people and looking for telltale signs.
* MagicKnight: Not only is he a talented mage, but he's skilled with a quarterstaff and has a physical build better suited for a melee fighter.
* MightyGlacier: He's not a quick caster, but both his magic and physical strength are impressive and he wears armor.
* MinoredInAssKicking
* NobleFugitive: Guile's the only thing standing in the way of his old neighbor Duke Maxell Raxis taking over Selisshan's territory, and Raxis isn't one to pass up any opportunity to eliminate the competition.
* NonIdleRich
* ModestRoyalty: Or Nobility, in this case. Still doesn't stop him from inadvertently standing out.
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: His real name is Maurice, but no one outside of Selisshan knows that. He goes by Guile Selden.
* PhotographicMemory: When he puts his mind to it.

[[AC:[[http://forums.feplanet.net/index.php?showtopic=40827 Marik Stavron]]]]\\

* BadassLongRobe
* BadPowersGoodPeople: As a Shaman, he uses [[{{CastingAShadow}} Dark magic]], which is often viewed as evil and corrupting. But he's [[{{DarkIsNotEvil}} actually a pleasant guy]] if you can get past his mistrust and defenses.
* BlackMagic: It's implied that he's addicted to using Dark magic, and that it has been gradually and subtly affecting his personality for the worse.
* BookDumb: He's dyslexic, and ''can'' read, but it's very difficult. He makes up for it with keen observation and a good memory, and doesn't need tomes to cast magic.
* TheCaptain (in training): If anything happens to the current captain of the ''Black Phoenix'', Marik's next in line to take command.
* Claustrophobia: A mild and somewhat specific case: He doesn't mind small spaces, per se, but put him in an [[{{FreakOut}} isolated space with anything remotely resembling a restraint]]...
* DeadpanSnarker
* DistinguishingMark: The stylized phoenix tattoos on his neck and arm that represent his belonging to the crew of the ship ''Black Phoenix''; the blackened skin and scarring on his chest and back from a Corruption spell; and most recently, scars on his wrists and ankles from being stuck in shackles for a month. Considering he's currently a fugitive, each of these also doubles as a MarkOfShame.
* FunetikAksent
* GlassCannon
* HurtingHero: He became a fugitive after escaping arrest for crimes he didn't commit. Anyone attached to him runs the risk of getting involved in the mess, forcing him to adapt a JerkassFacade to try to keep them at bay despite the loneliness it brings.
* KnightInSourArmor: Trauma has turned him cynical and bitter, yet he still cares for the world and those in it and goes to great lengths to help people, with no concern for his own safety.
* LightIsNotGood: The Light magic-wielding priests and elders of his village get very heavy-handed in their efforts to root out "evil" Dark magic.
* LivingLieDetector: He's not foolproof, but he's good at noticing even slight tells.
* MasterOfIllusion
* MessyHair
* MistakenForMurderer: A string of [[{{GuiltByCoincidence}} coincidences]] and mistrust led to Marik being falsely accused of participating in mass murders while [[{{NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished}} trying to help a sick friend]]. [[{{HonorBeforeReason}} To protect her, he refused to fully explain himself to the priests who apprehended him]], and was shipped off to TheAlcatraz for his troubles (but escaped on the way there). He's now a wanted fugitive and would like nothing more than to be able to [[{{ClearMyName}} clear the accusations against him]] and return home.
* MysteriousPast: Even Marik doesn't know what happened before he was six years old.
* {{Pirate}}: Type 2. The ''Black Phoenix'' only targets other pirates and the occasional merchant who is already suitably well-off [[{{BreakTheHaughty}} and usually arrogant]]. Marik was kept out of harm's way during skirmishes.
* RealMenWearPink: He embroiders designs of plants and animals on his clothes, and expect a scathing rebuttal if you try to mock him for it.
* ShoutOut: The ship ''Vastmark'' and its captain, Dhirken, are Shout Outs to WarsOfLightAndShadow.
* StoicWoobie: He'll show pleasant emotions, even if they're faked, but he does his best to hide his real suffering. [[{{NotSoStoic}} It doesn't always work]].

[[quoteright:393:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Samsoncolor_5608.jpg]]

* ActualPacifist: He hates fighting and dreads the thought of killing, but mercenary work was the only real choice he had to earn the money he needs; as a result, he's become a very ReluctantWarrior.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: He's a compassionate guy, albeit with poor social skills, pacifistic, and has a background in medical training. He also knows how to prepare healing salves and poisons, is good at utilizing his surroundings and ascertaining [[AttackItsWeakPoint weaknesses]], and has enough skill and speed with [[{{BowAndSwordInAccord}} both bows and swords]] to be able to hit them while running circles around you. It turns out that [[{{BerserkButton}} getting him mad]] really isn't a good idea.
* BrainyBrunette: An uncommon male example.
* CelibateHero: He's [[HatesBeingTouched not even one for contact as basic as holding hands]]. The thought of sex very much [[{{Squick}} Squicks]] him out.
* ChronicHeroSyndrome: He just can't pass up an opportunity to help out, even if it lands him in trouble.
* CombatMedic: Although a mercenary by profession, his real talent lies in his medical training.
* TheDeterminator
* FragileSpeedster
* HeroicSelfDeprecation: He doesn't view his skills or accomplishments as anything special and constantly berates himself as useless.
* HeroicSpirit: His miserable self-image belies his real determination and inner strengths.
* HonorBeforeReason: He'll go out of his way to avoid killing his enemies, even if doing so would save him a lot of trouble in the end.
* IronWoobie: He spent most of his life getting constantly berated by his stepfather for everything he did, even taking the irrational blame for his stepbrother, Jeremy, getting sick, effectively destroying his self-esteem. Yet he still started training in swordsmanship and became a mercenary - an entirely ill-suited choice for his pacifistic nature - just so he could get the money to pay for a rumored treatment for his brother's paralysis, despite this decision resulting in his stepfather banning him from his own home until he could come back with fame and fortune. All to see Jeremy walk again.
* LoyalAnimalCompanion: Diablo the Mauthe Doog.
* MessyHair
* TheNondescript: In a setting with so many characters having distinctive traits that would set them apart in a crowd, Samson is remarkably unremarkable.
* ParentalSubstitute: Callan acted as this in absence of his stepfather's emotional support.
* [[SuperSenses Super Hearing]]: And it annoys him to no end.
* WeakButSkilled: Sort of; he's got skill and speed on his side moreso than brute strength, but physically he's still not exactly a pushover.
