Marth

Marth is a character in the Black Bard manga.

Appearance
He has long wavy black hair including a section tied into a long ponytail on the back of his head. Marth wears a chain consisting of circular interlocked hoops around his neck as well as long billowing wizard robes.

Personality
Confrontational both in his demands others move out the way for him, and threatening them with fire related violence for not doing so. When the Black Bard is not fazed by his aggression, Marth switched to laughing before turning his attention to Apollo to mock him for trembling.

Story
Marth comes across Black Bard and Apollo in the street and moves to demanding they move out his way. He appears livid that Black Bard does not seem to know who is talking to and threatens him with a taste of his flames.

Seeing that Black Bard will not budge in this exchange, Marth becomes jovial and praises Black Bard for his guts. Hearing the unflattering description of Apollo from the mages around him, Marth advises Black Bard to not hang around with him and join his group instead to get into the castle.

In response to Apollo standing up for himself, Marth gives a display of his fire magic which both Apollo and Black Bard run from.

Black Bard
Impressed by his lack of fear, Marth offers to let the Black Bard join his entourage to get into the castle. His friendly gesture changes back to expressing anger towards him when the offer is declined.

Apollo
He does not take kindly to Apollo perceiving him as weak. Marth uses Apollo as an example for Black Bard to leave and join his group instead.
