Marx

Marx (マルクス), or Markus, is a player in NewWorld Online and a supporting character in the BOFURI series. He is a member of the Kingdom of the Flame Emperor guild and ranked eighth in the 1st event.

Description
Marx is a thin guy with gray hair and black eyes. His bangs covers one of his eyes.

Personality
Marx is a defeatist. With the emotional support of those in his guild, he doesn't give up even when his traps are useless.

Guild Competition Arc
As Marx and Misery defend their base, a robed figure with a hood kept setting off Marx's traps. As he set up more traps he knew would be triggered shortly after, Marx felt more down than he normally would.

When Maple brought the twins, to attack the Kingdom of the Flame Emperor, Marx's traps showed little effect. Knowing about Maple's defense and poison, several traps were set up to delay and bind her but with the twins and [Predator] at her disposal, they were quickly overcome. Though Mii was able to come back and help them overcome the situation, Maple revealed an unknown ability and efficiently dealt with Marx and Misery.

During the chaos when their guild was under siege and Marx's traps were removed, word of Maple's likely arrival made Marx all but give up.

Marx was friends listed by Maple after the guild competition event and attended the Maple Tree after party.

Rulership Arc
During the jungle exploration event, Kanade and Marx appeared near each other and teamed up since they had the same goal. Marx made full use of his traps and Kanade made full use of his support skills as they easily defeated enemies who fell victim to their combination.

Kanade and Marx met with Chrome and Misery at the base of the tree just before the boss Maple and Payne defeated before Maple logged off. On their way to the boss, they met up with Payne and decided to form a group of 5. Once they defeated the boss, they headed towards the ruins and picked up Mii on the way. Inside the ruins, they solved a shifting room puzzle and defeated the skeleton king boss.

Companions Arc
Marx, Misery, and Shin stumbled upon Maple as she was leveling up Syrup. After spotting some changes to Syrup, they decided to show off their pets. Marx's pet was color-changing chameleon.
