Weaponry:
•3-foot metal rods, usually lengths of simple iron rebar bundled together in a cloth sling
•Falconet-style marine cannon, 5-feet long, roughly 500 lbs. of iron alloy.

Ability:
•The manipulation of iron, including the ability to liquify, levitate, and harden it in any form. Effectiveness decreases with distance and Marshall must establish touch to initiate control, but can maintain it indefinitely afterward. He can rust iron at will or reverse oxidization, and de-carbonize steel, titanium, or other alloys to revert them to pure iron. Marshal can also alter the temperature of iron, but often cannot control this aspect; it only manifests when he becomes enraged.
•With a bellowing, primal shout of pure rage and bloodlust Marshall can cause an enemy's underlings, pets, summoned beings, clones, and the like to flee in outright terror for ten to twenty minutes; those who can't hear the shout are still affected by the intimidating aura he gives off. This is unavoidable to any hostile NPC in an eighty-foot radius, even those "immune" to fear and those being directly controlled by Marshall's opponents. Marshall calls this technique "******** OFF".

Personality: Brash, outspoken, raucous, and disorderly, Marshall's main goal in life is to succumb to whatever guilty pleasures he can get, often with ruthless abandon. He speaks his mind with a bluntness that some would call "uncaring" or "tactless" and often seems to be extremely irresponsible and almost childish at times.
He is fiercely loyal to his friends, however, almost never lies, and is much more clever than he usually lets on. He is also very friendly and slow to anger, and abides by his own code of honor (twisted as it may be).
Backstory: Marshall has yet to disclose any information about his past, yet a few facts have been gleaned so far:
•Marshall has had professional martial arts training, perhaps military training
•He is skilled with the staff (bojutsu), short staff (hanbojutsu), and spear (sojutsu)
•He is proficient in kendo despite his apparent dislike for swordmanship, and his fighting style has shown muay thai influence.
Other: Marshall doesn't smoke but for some reason he is fond of rawhide dog treats that look similar to cigarettes
