A long time ago on a ghetto server far away a Halfling was born, and shortly after dropped on his head. His parents knew not that the midwife had dropped this poor baby and she did well to hide it. It became apparent after only a short while that Marathe was not like the other halflings in Rivervale; Marathe was not like anyone at all...
Anyone who graced the lands of Sullon Zek would soon find an adversary quite different to the other players here. Marathe received training from the elder druids near Rivervale and they did not have the heart to tell him he was several sammiches short of a picnic and instead advanced him to graduation at an early time, surely he would not get into trouble and spend his days gardening or partaking of the spirits in the local tavern.
This was not the case! Marathe had the heart of a lion and believing he was a fully trained druid of the circle he ventured from Rivervale spreading the word of justice throughout the lands! He threw himself at orc and goblin alike, but alas his injury gave him a lack of power and he fell on the swords of his enemies over and over...
Folks from the neutral races tried to help gear him as best we could because we could not talk him out of fighting the evil that was rising in power on antonica. We tried to come to his aid on the battle field but he was in what some may call a berserker rage and charged headlong into battle no matter where it lie. The evil races soon learned of Marathe and his unshakable will to join battle at all times, some even avoided the poor soul not wanting to stain their blade with his blood for fear his disease might be contagious.
I think everyone who played Sullon Zek had seen Marather or his corpse because he had several in each zone. Many speculated he was mentally challenged in the real world, I like to think he was a young boy living out his everquest life as champion for justice. I have never heard him out of character as long as I played...ever. So whatever the case may be this character while extremely poorly played embodied everything we the player base wanted from a game...the chance to be a champion for some cause or another. To be that unwavering voice of justice, or evil whatever your desire but to be pure...
I tried to follow his code even when crazycloud used his xteaming alts to camp me because of a disagreement over a spawn. I always fought for my guild and for my team even several levels below and severely undergeared I showed up and played against Hate every day and I got kills...
Marathe no matter how annoying was the soul of gaming and the reason many of us strap on our gear day in, day out. Pure, like a child before they grow and their innocence fades...
