Editing Marcus Ren

|species=[[Human]]

'''Marcus Ren''' is a [[Hunter]] who became a legend in the [[Cosmodrome]] due to his skill in the [[Sparrow Racing League]].

During his efforts to perfect the [[Fr0st-EE5]]s, Marcus asked his fellow [[SRL]] racer Blue [[Boaz]] to help test them out. Boaz thought the boots were great despite the name, and Marcus was glad they worked so well despite the problems he still had not fixed, admitting that the Energy Transfer Capacitors had around a two-percent chance of exploding. His friend was furious that Marcus had him test them without warning about the danger, threatening to inform Deputy-Commander [[Sloane]], but Marcus quickly offered him rare Sparrow mods to ensure his silence.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/5/8)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Warmind (expansion)|Warmind]], Activision Blizzard - [[Fr0st-EE5]]''</ref>

During the [[Red Legion]]'s assault on the [[Last City]], Marcus was drained of his [[Light]] when the Cabal placed a [[Traveler Cage|cage]] upon the Traveler. Attempting to escape the occupied City, Marcus raced through the streets on his Sparrow while imagining commentary from the SRL narrating his ride. He was ambushed by a [[Centurion]] who destroyed his Sparrow, sending him crashing into a mound of debris, briefly knocking him out. As he came to, he found himself being picked up by the neck by the Centurion and with a broken leg. As the Centurion choked the life out of the Hunter, Marcus continued to imagine SRL commentary and thought that he had a good run, but this was the end for him. However, his friend and fellow SRL racer [[Enoch Bast]] arrived and tackled the Centurion before killing it in hand-to-hand combat. With Marcus heavily wounded, Enoch carried him to safety out of the Cabal occupied city.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/5/8)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Warmind (expansion)|Warmind]], Activision Blizzard - [[Comrades in Arms]]''</ref>

After hearing rumors that the [[Scorn]] Baroness [[Yaviks, the Rider]] had successfully ridden through the chaotic asteroids of [[The Ragged Valley]] in the [[Tangled Shore]], Marcus set out to prove that it was impossible to do so in order to discredit the murderous Fallen raider. He made four runs through the Ragged Valley, and the ever-changing orbits of the crashing asteroids destroyed four of his Sparrows and required him to be resurrected by Didi once. After the fourth attempt Marcus declared the Ragged Valley to be too random to navigate and that predicting the path of the asteroids was impossible, however he decided to attempt it for a fifth time. He successfully managed to cross the Ragged Valley on that attempt, squeezing through a narrow gap just before two asteroids collided. Despite proving that the Ragged Valley could be navigated, Marcus refused to admit that Yaviks could have accomplished the same feat.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]], Activision Blizzard - [[Lore]]: [[Lore:The_Lawless_Frontier#The_Ragged_Valley_Sprint|The Lawless Frontier - The Ragged Valley Sprint]]''</ref>

Marcus later played the role of the [[The Guardian|Young Wolf]]'s [[The Ghost|Ghost]] in a play written by Didi entitled "[[ORYX THE NIGHTMARE DADDY: One Brave Ghost Versus the Death from Outer Space]]" that was being put on by the [[Ghost Community Theater]].<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]], Activision Blizzard - [[Lore]]: [[Lore:Ghost_Stories#Ghost_Community_Theater_Presents|Ghost Stories - Ghost Community Theater Presents]]''</ref>
