A villainous guy who starts off unfamiliar with Survivor, until Jessica teaches him.
First Fire Emblem fan character.
- The Bad Guy Wins
- Berserk Button: If anyone votes against his alliance and the vote goes as planned, Marius will make sure the guilty party regrets it.
- The Chessmaster
- Cursed with Awesome: Deliberately takes on a curse that prohibits him from winning immunity ever again for the rest of the season, which on the surface seems like a incredibly stupid thing to do but in fact becomes the main factor that gets him to the finals with him playing up his inability to win immunity as a reason to keep him in over others perceived as bigger immunity or jury threats.
- Dark Horse Victory
- Jerkass: Very much.
- Jerk with a Heart of Jerk: Tries to be this, with varying success.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Implied to be this back home, and treats Gatemaster, Amy and Jessica with genuine kindness.
- Laughably Evil: Him annoying the Oobashir alliance was hilarious.
- Manipulative Bastard
- Pet the Dog: Was given the chance to grant everyone the chance to see their loved ones, but considering that his only friends/allies left was Amy and maybe Gate, and that Mo and Greg had in for him, he has a right to say no, but he recalls Amy saying she was homesick, and decided to allow it, just for her sake.
- Please Kill Me if It Satisfies You: Begs for Greg to not give him a jury vote.
- Sitcom Arch-Nemesis: With Greg and in the cast releases, Barney.
- Sole Survivor: The fifth, who won with the least amount of jury votes thus far, with 3, because Gatemaster and Miranda had 2 apiece.
- Villain Protagonist: For as thorough of a bad guy he is, it's ultimately through his lens that we get most of the insight into the actual gameplay of this season.
- Zero-Approval Gambit: After Marius loses the majority he becomes as unpleasant as possible with everyone left, making it look like he's gone over the deep end and is less of a threat than other people.
