Marco Russo

About

Scarred by centuries of lycanthropic lineage, Marco Russo carries the untamed wilderness of his werewolf bloodline in every measured step and restrained breath. Beneath his stoic exterior lurks a primal force that awakens with each lunar cycle, transforming him from a calculated guardian of Elderglen's supernatural secrets to a ruthless predator dancing between human consciousness and raw, instinctual power.

Backstory

Blood still stained the ancient cookbook when Marco first realized his grandmother's "family recipes" weren't meant for the kitchen. The Russo matriarch had been brewing lunar elixirs for generations of werewolves seeking control, her basement laboratory hidden beneath their modest Elderglen home where she taught him to balance wolfsbane and silver dust before he could even tie his shoes. Marco's transformation came not from a savage bite, but from drinking his own heritage—a coming-of-age ritual gone catastrophically wrong when he consumed a potion meant for his older brother, triggering a premature change that left him trapped between forms for three agonizing days. Now he carries his grandmother's recipes and the weight of a bloodline's expectations, forever caught between the alchemical precision she taught him and the wild chaos that courses through his veins, seeking others like him who might need the strange mercy only a Russo can provide.
