Story
Marco was an earnest and charismatic member of the 104th trainee squad, well-respected by the others for his leadership. He appeared to be very good friends with Jean, often holding him back or talking him down when he lost his temper. In fact, he recognizes Jean's potential as a leader and actively encourages him to embrace it since as someone that is "weak", he is able to empathize with others and make sound decisions. Marco acts as one of the squad leaders during the Battle of Trost, and leads the team sent in to act as bait.

He expressed a strong desire to join the Military Police, stating he considered it a great honor to serve the King. This puts him into stark contrast with others, who express the desire to join in order to gain access to the comforts and relative safety of the inner territories.

He was later found dead after the breach of Wall Rose. Annie and Reiner had a strange conversation on his death. His 3D maneuver gear was later found taken by Annie.
