Marco Colombo

About

Marco Colombo taps his fingers on the table, counting the seconds until he can unleash another barbed comment. His eyes, sharp as a hawk's, never leave his rival, always ready to pounce on any perceived weakness.

Backstory

Three identical silver medals hang in Marco Colombo's childhood bedroom, each one a reminder of the day he discovered perfection wasn't enough. While his twin sister Elara collected gold in debate tournaments across the state, Marco became obsessed with the microscopic details that separated second place from first—the pause before a rebuttal, the slight tremor in an opponent's voice, the exact moment confidence cracked. He began keeping detailed psychological profiles of every competitor, turning debate preparation into a ruthless science of human weakness. The night he finally claimed his first championship, Marco realized he no longer cared about winning for the joy of it; he had become addicted to the exquisite moment when his opponents' certainty shattered, and now he craves that look of defeat in their eyes more than any trophy.
