"His death serves to illuminate [...]"
His death doesn't really serve any purpose once you notice 16-year-olds die a soldier's death on daily basis in the world of SnT.

His death actually servers a great purpose, and that is a development of other characters, especially Jean. By the way, this is wrong place for your statement, talk pages are for discussing changes to the article. 18:59, August 28, 2013 (UTC)

That said, his death also serves the purpose to illuminate the fact that '16-year-olds die a soldier's death on daily basis in the world of SnT', which is a pretty harsh thing to realize in itself. Also, it's probably worth mentioning, The Italian, Spanish, and Portugese 'Marco'  is largely agreed to be a form of 'Mark', or 'Marcus', which itself is derived from Mars, the Roman god of war (or to be 'dedicated/consecrated to [him]). I've also seen it with meanings including 'hammer', 'guardian', 'manly' (from 'mas'), and 'soft/tender' (from Greek 'malakos'). 174.63.121.51 01:00, September 11, 2013 (UTC)
