Early life[]
Oh. You don't think I know who you are? Oliver Queen?, Marcos to Oliver Queen, Toxic
Marcos, almost shoots in Tess.
Marcos and his gang killed a group of marine biologists studying the Pacific Ocean, kidnapping the survivors Tess Mercer and Megan. Marcos' gang also found a poisoned Oliver Queen and had Tess nurse him back to health so they could ransom him. Marcos shot Megan and prepared to leave on a boat. As he was leaving, Oliver shot Marcos with an arrow covered in poison of a flower that grew on the island. Oliver and Tess boarded the boat and left Marcos to die. Most likely, Marcos survived by feeding the leeches his blood, allowing them to pass their curing enzyme to him as Oliver hinted leeches could cure him.
Personality[]
Marcos was a ruthless and bloodthirsty drug-runner. He was shown to be greedy as he planned to ransom Oliver Queen, due to his wealthy playboy status. He has no qualms for hurting and killing innocent people, since he killed Tess Mercer's team of marine biologists, kidnapped and killed her best friend, Megan, and almost killed Tess, had Oliver not convinced him not to. Marcos is also shown to be vengeful and hold a grudge, as he waited years to get his revenge against Oliver and Tess for poisoning him and leaving him to die on the island, by poisoning Oliver. Additionally, he is very sadistic when threatening and assaulting Tess, and taunts her that he remembers her fearful demeanor from years ago. All these terrible traits is what led to his deserved and painful death by Tess' hands with her slashing his hand with the poisonous flower.
