The main character, a soldier thrown in prison 14 years prior to the start of the game. Before "Emergence Day" (the day that the Locust Hoarde invaded), there was a huge war going on between all of the nations in the world. When oil supplies were running low, an alternate energy source, called "Immulsion," was discovered. It turned out that Immulsion was not only more productive than oil, but it was environmentally friendly. Some nations had bountiful amounts of Immulsion, some had none. When the less lucky nations attacked the ones with all the extra energy, the Pedulum Wars had begun. Sera (the planet Gears Of War takes place on), was torn apart in war, and no one saw the Locust invasion coming. When the Locust attacked, Marcus was instructed to protect civilians and to fight the Hoarde, but instead he went to save his father and was charged with treason. | The main character, he is a soldier thrown in prison 14 years prior to the start of the game.

One long decade after Emergence Day, the Horde Army breached Jacinto Plateau's defenses and Marcus defied orders so he could save his father. He was too late, and in addition to losing his father, Marcus was charged with dereliction of duty and was sentenced to 40 years in Jacinto Maximum Security Penitentiary.[1] It's later shown that Marcus's father was mapping the underground tunnels of the Locust Horde (a detail integral to the plot of Gears of War), although it's never revealed whether Marcus was aware of how important his father's research was when he attempted to save him, or whether he specifically knew it related to the Locust Horde. Four years into his sentence, the Horde overtook the Jacinto Penintentiary, but Marcus was rescued by his best friend, Dominic Santiago, so that he could join the fight against the Locust Horde Army. Marcus Fenix is 35 years old at the start of Gears of War. Marcus Fenix's design varied at several points in the development of Gears of War.
