Marcus

Marcus (マーカス, Mākasu) is one of the minor character of The Promised Neverland and a recurring character from the A Letter from Norman light novel.

He was a twelve-year-old orphan who resided at Grace Field House Plant 3 under the parental care of Isabella. He was two years older than Ray, Emma and Norman. Due to his age, Marcus was considered to be one of the house's "premium quality goods".

History
Marcus was born at Grace Field in 2032 and sent to Plantation 3 a year later in 2033, growing up along with several other children under the parental care of Isabella. He was shipped out in 2044 at the age of twelve. Marcus was the child shipped before Gary.



Appearance
He has a round, smiling face with freckles, and blonde hair styled in several bangs. He wore the standard Grace Field uniform- a plain white long sleeved button-up shirt and white pants along with brown boots. His identification number, "57194", is tattooed on the left side of his neck.

Personality
He is prankster, but mostly protective of his siblings. When Olivia read the children a ghost story before bed one night, Marcus became scared, but was also curious. Like all of his siblings, he enjoyed playing tag and hide and seek.

Emma, Norman and Ray
Being two years older than Norman, Emma and Ray, Marcus acted as the three's older brother figure and helped them and cared for them on numerous occasions. Emma has a deep regard for Marcus, as he is a part of her "family". Upon learning that all of their sibling that had been shipped out were dead, Emma and Norman cry and are grief stricken. Although, Ray had learned to mask his emotions over the years, he still deeply cared for his siblings and was sad whenever someone was shipped out. Ray described all of his siblings that had been shipped out as "good kids" who were "so kind and carefree."

Isabella
Marcus did not know the real intentions of his caretaker and therefore it is assumed that he loved her very much, up until his death.
