The opening was a nightmare. He was in jail because during the wars with the Locust, he disobeyed orders from Hoffman and ran off with the Hammer of Dawn targeter in order to save his Dad, and due to this, lots of men died, and they lost the battle, thanks to Marcus.

He was court-martialled and sentences to life in prison. User Info: oArctic. WingZero posted In Gears 1 the game started with Dom getting Marcus out of the prison to fight the Locusts, why was he in prison to begin with? Isn't it stupid how the first game is set 14 years after E-Day not a couple of days or weeks after it? Was the opening in Gears 3 just a dream? He was in Jail because he abandoned his post to go save his father, and was considered a traitor.

They put him in jail for life, and yes, that opening sequence in 3 is a dream.. User Info: TastyBeverage. Brumak 1 — Killed by Marcus using the siege beast.

The resulting scar was visible throughout the games, yet this story of how he got it was only told in Gears of War: The Slab. Marcus is also known as a legend, during the Pendulum Wars and as recently, the locust war…. Is Adam Fenix alive? What happened to Marcus Fenix? Are the Locust in Gears 5? Who is the Locust Queen in Gears of War?

Is Kait the Locust Queen? Who is Queen Reyna? Why was Marcus Fenix a traitor? Who has died in Gears of War? Is Queen Myrrah alive? After the COG collapsed under the constant struggle to survive, Marcus and the rest of Delta banded together with other Gears and civilians aboard the CNV Sovereign , seeking a way to survive in the new world. Eighteen months later, Chairman Prescott returned with the startling news that his father was alive. Marcus led humanity to victory over the Locust and the Lambent, but was at a loss of what to do next after losing both his father and Dom along the way.

He was married to Anya Stroud who gave birth to his son James Fenix. Twenty-years after the end of the Locust War, Marcus came out of retirement when the Locust reemerged as the Swarm. Although briefly an enemy of the state, Marcus is later pardoned and is officially reinstated into the COG army. Marcus was born 21 years before Emergence Day to Dr. Elain Fenix and Major Adam Fenix. His mom would often take him on trips to the mall, where he would explore, [4] and on her research trips near the Hollow.

In the 62nd year of the Pendulum Wars , Marcus was almost five years old, and Adam was getting ready to be deployed to Kashkur.

Marcus had gotten old enough to understand where Adam was going, and became upset whenever his father's deployment date neared. Marcus was reading a map book in the library when his parents arrived, and Adam asked him to come along for a walk.

Marcus got out of his chair and asked Adam why he had to leave again, and his father explained how being a Gear meant going where you were sent, and watching out for your friends and comrades on the battlefield.

Marcus was struck by the comradeship being a Gear brought, and declared he would become a Gear as well. Adam told him that he wouldn't have to be one, and that the war would be over by then, which upset Marcus. As they went to the garden, Adam told Marcus that his mom had discovered some monsters, but Marcus told him that monsters didn't exist, and if they did, Adam would kill them. They then went around the garden, and Marcus impressed his father by naming all of the plants in the garden.

Afterwards, he ate lunch with his parents. Adam returned several months later, having been wounded in the leg during a battle. Marcus rushed out to greet him, but slowed down and stopped himself, and greeted his father formally. He asked if Adam had saved everyone, but Adam told him he had been unable to, but he would change things so he could save everyone in the future.

Marcus was skeptical, and Elain sent him to get some pictures he had drawn at school so he could show them to Adam. Four years later, at the age of nine, Marcus was sent to Olafson Intermediate School by his parents in order to "mix with people" after having been home schooled for a couple years. On his first day of class, his math teacher, Major Fuller , had Marcus introduce himself to the rest of the class.

Several members of the class were resentful of him because he was rich, but another kid named Carlos Santiago , defended him, and ate lunch with him when no one else did. During a Thrashball game in gym class, Marcus was picked by Carlos to join his team.

The new student did well, but another kid, Joshua Curzon , tackled him harder than he needed to. In the locker room, Marcus told Carlos not to worry about him, and that he would be okay, but Carlos told him it wasn't fair that the other kids were picking on him. Carlos left first, and was attacked by Joshua and his older brother, Roland , along with one of their friends. Marcus intervened, and grabbed Joshua by his collar and slammed him into the ground, and punched Roland hard in the face, receiving a glancing blow in return.

The Curzon's and their friend backed away from him, scared, and Marcus warned them to leave him and Carlos alone. The three ran off, and Marcus helped Carlos up, and asked if a mark was forming over his eye yet, because his father might get worried. Carlos told him to tell his dad that it had been Thrashball, and asked why he was in a regular school.

Marcus told him that his dad wanted him to "mix with regular people" because he was alone a lot. Carlos thanked him for his help, and they talked a bit more until they left. After this, Marcus and Carlos became really good friends, along with Carlos' brother, Dom.

Three years later, Marcus was at the Santiago's house helping work on an engine with Carlos and his dad, Eduardo Santiago. He ate lunch with them as well, putting large amounts of hot sauce on his food.

He asked Eduardo if he would ever reenlist, and Eduardo told him that he would because it had been the best times of his life with his friends, but he now had a steady job and a family to take care of.

Carlos said he was going to join the army. Marcus became worried that he would be alone without Carlos, and began thinking about joining the army as well. The phone then rang, and Eva Santiago answered it.

She told Marcus it was his dad, and Marcus took the phone. He learned that his mother had gone missing, and his father came and picked him up. Marcus missed the next day of school, and his mother remained missing. When he went back to school, he stayed afterwards and talked with Carlos and Dom, telling them he didn't think his mom was coming back. He told them the police were looking for her, but that his dad wouldn't tell him where she had been when she disappeared.

He was worried that she might have left because of him, but Carlos and Dom told him that that wasn't the cause.

Elain remained missing for several months, and by the time of Marcus's fourteenth birthday, he no longer talked about her, and began spending even more time at the Santiago's house. Five years later, Marcus decided to join the Coalition of Ordered Governments army as a regular infantry soldier, rather than going through officer school. Carlos had already joined, and came with him to the Fenix Estate when Marcus decided to tell his dad.

Carlos asked him if his joining had made him decide to do it, but Marcus assured him he had made up his mind long ago. They found Adam in the front room, and Marcus told him they needed to talk. He informed him that he was going to enlist in the army as a regular Gear, and Adam protested that he was throwing away a college education. They argued for a moment, and Adam asked Carlos if he could talk some sense into Marcus, but Carlos told him he would do his best to keep Marcus safe.

Adam realized he couldn't do anything to stop Marcus, and said he would support him. Marcus and Carlos then went to get lunch, and Carlos told him that Dom was marrying his girlfriend, Maria , and that she was pregnant.

Marcus was surprised, and offered to help out, but Carlos told him that Dom wouldn't accept money. Marcus enlisted later that week, and was proud to receive his uniform.

At Dom's wedding, he and Carlos wore their dress uniforms, and Dom later joined the army to support his family. After finishing basic training, Marcus and Carlos were assigned to C Company of the 26th Royal Tyran infantry , and were deployed to the Acastu Imulsion Fields in Dushin to defend them.

They were flown there on Corva CC , and Marcus read a letter from his father that he had received prior to deploying.

Major Helena Stroud , Marcus' commander and an old friend of his father, saw him reading the letter, and asked him if Adam still worked all day long. Marcus told her that he did, and she asked him to tell Adam that his old Lieutenant said hi, and to take a day off from the lab sometime.

After she walked away, Carlos remarked that she was one to talk, since she never took any time off either. Marcus remarked that he had heard her daughter, Anya , had joined up as an officer cadet, which excited Carlos.

He asked Marcus if he had seen her, and Marcus told him he had noticed how attractive she was. As the Corva prepared to land, Helena addressed Marcus and the other Gears, warning them that they needed to stay sharp and realize that they were out of training now, because she didn't want to have to write to anyone's parents if they were killed.

After disembarking from the Corva, Marcus and Carlos, along with the other two members of their squad, Cpl. Maxon and Pvt. Quinn , listened as Helena remarked that they could now see the thing the COG was really fighting for: Imulsion. The four Gears then began a patrol around the refinery, and Carlos asked Marcus what his dad had said in the letter. Marcus told him that Adam was still talking about him coming back from the war and going to a university, acting like Marcus was only taking a year off from his studies.

Carlos remarked that his dad just didn't give up, and Marcus said that people thought he took after him in that regard. Quinn asked if Adam was really the top scientist at the DRA, and after Marcus confirmed that he was, Quinn asked if he was working on anything cool.

Marcus told him that he never told him about any of that kind of stuff, since it was classified. Maxon then alerted them to a report that a UIR Khimera had been detected, and they looked up and saw it flying at maximum altitude, doing a recon of the plant. Two nights later, Marcus and the others were assigned to do a night patrol around the fields.

As they walked among the pipelines, Carlos said that he wished somebody would shoot at him to get the waiting over with.

Marcus told him they would enter battle eventually, and that he just had to be patient. Carlos told him he was worried that he would freeze up, but Marcus assured him that drill would kick in and he would shoot back. Maxon then contacted them and asked them where Quinn was, and Marcus told him he was with them.

Maxon ordered them to meet him at the north perimeter gates, because one of the drillers claimed to have heard a bike near there. The three of them hurried to meet Maxon and began searching for signs of an intruder. Marcus told Maxon that he didn't hear anything, but Maxon stopped him and said there was someone else out there, and called in to control to report a possible contact.

They then saw a motor bike zoom out from under a pipeline, and opened fire on it. However, more Indie soldiers appeared and opened fire on the Gears, causing them to take cover behind some pipes. Maxon was hit in the throat, and Marcus told Quinn to see to him, and asked Carlos to give him some covering fire. Carlos told him he was crazy, but Marcus told him to just do it, and jumped over the pipe and charged at the Indies.

He shot two of them, and a Packhorse arrived, driven by Sgt. Bernadette Mataki and with Sgt. Daniel Kennen on the gun. Kennen ordered him to get down, and he fired on the rest of the Indies with the gun, cutting them down.

Kennen asked him if he was okay, but before he could answer, an explosion from the other side of the facility lit up the night. Marcus realized the Indies had blown up the Imulsion wells, but Bernie told him not to worry about that, and that they had to get Maxon help quickly. Marcus helped Carlos load Maxon into the Packhorse, and asked him not to mention this to his dad, and Carlos reassured him he wouldn't.

Marcus waited at the medical building to see if Maxon would be okay, but Bernie eventually arrived and told him that Maxon hadn't made it.

Marcus remarked that it was a "fucking terrific start" to his first tour of duty, and Bernie told him that he had stopped them from blowing the pipelines. Marcus protested that it didn't matter since Maxon had been killed, but she interrupted him and said that they lost people and it would never stop hurting, but that they had a job to do, and had to go back out every day until it was done.

Marcus told her he understood, and she told him that he and the others had done a good job, and told him to follow her. Bernie led them on the remainder of their patrol, and Quinn remarked that the damage would be repaired in just a couple of days.

Marcus looked at the burning fires and remarked that this was all for just keeping the lights on back home, but Bernie told them to stop talking and finish the patrol. A week later, Marcus was out on another patrol with Carlos and Quinn in a Packhorse. Quinn told Marcus that his dad should try inventing an alternative to Imulsion, since if they increased the fuel supply, nobody would have to fight over it.

Carlos pointed out that all the alternative fuels from the past had had wars fought over them as well, so it likely wouldn't do any good. When control reported that Khimeras had been detected along the border, they pulled over next to some pipelines and tried to see if they could spot them. They couldn't, and as Quinn climbed onto a pipeline to try to get a better view, he asked Marcus what he thought they were doing. Marcus told them they were just assessing their strength, and would be back sooner or later.

Quinn then began telling Marcus about something his mom was sending him in the mail, but he was suddenly shot in the head by a sniper and fell off the pipeline and onto the ground in front of Marcus and Carlos.

Marcus told Carlos to stay down, and cradled Quinn's body in his arms. Carlos was deeply upset, remarking that it was just Quinn's first week, and he was just picked off from a kilometer away, and not even in a proper firefight. Marcus told him that he understood exactly what he meant.

Two days later, Marcus was called into Helena's office, and she asked him if he was okay. He remarked nobody could feel okay after seeing one of their friends die within a week of deployment, and Helena told him not to beat himself up over the deaths of his comrades like his father did. Marcus told her he would get used to it, but she told him he wouldn't and shouldn't.

Helena remarked that they all learned to deal with loss in their own separate way, and his father had done by deciding to leave the army and focus on building weapons. Marcus told her that he understood him a lot better now, and she ordered him to call his dad, saying that it was bad to leave things unsaid, since you never knew if you would get another chance to say them.

Marcus agreed, and called his dad on the bases phone. Adam was surprised, and asked him if he was okay, and Marcus told him he and Carlos were fine, but that they had lost a couple of guys, and that he knew how it was.

Adam told him he did, and that he was sorry about his comrades. Marcus asked him how his project was going, and Adam told him it was fine, and that they would get there eventually, and that Marcus knew how it was. While there, Marcus learned of a massacre of a native village by the UIR that left few survivors. While out patrolling, Marcus noticed a native, Tai Kaliso , shadowing him and carrying a bow and arrow. He told Tai that he knew he was there, and warned him not to fire on him.

Marcus told him that he was sorry about what had happened to his village, and explained that he and the COG were there to drive the UIR out of the South Islands.

Marcus told Tai that while the COG were not Saints , they were going to win the war, and that he wanted Tai to be on the winning side, offering him a place in the COG army. Since he had nothing left on the island, Tai accepted Marcus' offer and joined C Company.

One year later, Marcus had been promoted to Corporal, and was stationed at a base along the Sarfuth - Maranday border along with the rest of C Company. It was winter in Sarfuth, but Marcus refused to wear a helmet, instead wearing a do-rag that was permitted under regulations. He and Carlos were assigned to work with sniper team Three-Zero to protect a pipeline from sabotage by Indie soldiers.

He then contacted Pvt. Padrick Salton , and he told Marcus that someone had been digging animal traps along the pipeline for the past half hour, and he needed them to check it out. They arrived at the pipeline and inspected the traps, which looked legitimate but might have just been preparatory work for a bomb.

They hid in the shadow of the pipeline to see if anyone else showed up, and they eventually spotted a Ski-Bike arriving at one of the traps. Marcus reminded Carlos they were not to cross the border into neutral Maranday, and to wait and see if the guy was actually a saboteur before acting. Padrick told them that the guy was taking a lot of things out of his pack.

Marcus told him to wait, and they watched the guy a little longer, until he got spooked and began running. Marcus and Carlos chased after him after shooting and disabling his bike.

Marcus told Carlos to try and take the guy alive for Intel to have, and to try to avoid killing him. Their chase took them over the border, but Carlos managed to tackle the guy. However, he reached into his jacket for a weapon, forcing Carlos to stab him. Marcus searched the body, and found explosives in his jacket, as well as some papers. They loaded the body into the APC for Intel to look at, and drove back to the base.

Marcus was upset with Carlos for crossing the border during the chase, but didn't say anything on the ride back. The Intel guy was happy with what they had found, and he and Carlos went back out in the APC to check for any more possible sabotage. Marcus apologized to Carlos for getting angry about him not following the SOP's, and that he had been right to chase the guy over the border. Carlos said he might have brought Maranday into the war if he had been caught, and that he was too caught up in trying to make a difference to pay attention to regulations.

Marcus told him that they would be able to once winter was over and the regular fighting began again. Nine months later, Marcus and the rest of C Company had been sent to Merrenat Naval Base , where they began training for a unknown operation. During a training exercise for a beach landing, Carlos tripped and fell into the water while exiting the landing craft.

Marcus pulled him out from under the water and dragged him ashore, stopping for a moment to let him recover. However, Helena yelled at them for stopping, and ordered them to continue the exercise. They began crawling up the beach with the rest of the unit, and Marcus asked Carlos if he was okay.

Carlos told him he was, but was angry with himself for falling. Marcus told him that it was their first time trying that landing at night and he had probably hit a hole or something. As their training op continued, Carlos continued to cough up water, and Marcus ordered him to fall out and see a medic, worried about secondary drowning. Carlos tried to convince him otherwise, but Marcus called for a medic over the radio, and Helena backed up his order.

Two hours later, the training op was over, and Carlos returned to where the rest of the unit was camping in the woods. Marcus was expecting an argument, and told him that it had only been an exercise, and that they needed him for the actual operation. After eating a meal with Bernie and Tai, they joined the rest of the unit in being debriefed by Helena, who had brought her daughter, Cadet Anya Stroud , to the briefing.

Marcus attempted to get more information about the mystery operation they were training for, and Helena told him that even she didn't know beyond a beach landing. After the briefing, Marcus remarked to Carlos that Helena was a psychopath, but Carlos told him that she was psychopath who wins, which was what they needed. After training ended, C Company was transferred to Fesor Naval Base , where they were kept in their quarters until they were ordered to board the CNV Kalona at five in the morning, two days before the operation.

Marcus stood next to Carlos in the line of Gears as they waited to board the ship. Marcus asked Carlos if he had managed to get hold of Dom before they got their orders, and Carlos told him that they had left messages with each other, and that Dom was now completely locked down, and that Maria was due to give birth anytime. Carlos then asked Marcus if he had called his dad to let him know he was shipping out, and Marcus told him he had, and that his dad just went real quiet, as usual.

Carlos asked if he had told him he was shipping out on the Kalona , and Marcus realized that he hadn't told him, and that he hadn't asked, and felt puzzled and hurt.

Carlos told him they could work it out after he got back, but Marcus told him that he said that before every deployment.

When Helena began approaching the Gears, Marcus called them all to attention. As they stood in line, they noticed Anya was following her mom, and Marcus was worried she would fall walking up the ramp onto the ship in her high heels.

The Gear in front of them remarked that Marcus could give her CPR if that happened like he was dying to, but Marcus rebuked him and made him shut up. They then boarded the ship and dropped their equipment in their bunk, and headed up to the deck with the rest of the Gears to wave goodbye to their families.

As Carlos waved goodbye to his parents, Marcus saw that Adam was also there, and waved at him. As they went out to sea, Carlos told Marcus that at least his father was trying to be there for him, but Marcus just thought that it was interesting that he had managed to figure out where he was deploying from, suspecting that he had known all along.

Two hours later, Marcus and the others were briefed by Helena, and learned their objective: to prevent UIR reinforcements from reaching Aspho Point from Aspho Fields while a COG commando team, which included Dom, secured vital information on weapons research from the facility. Marcus realized that his father must have been involved in the planning of the operation, and hadn't told him. Marcus and the other Gears began congratulating him. The company then assembled in the hanger deck to wait for the go order.

Helena briefed them one more time, and they boarded their landing craft. Marcus asked Carlos if he was okay in the craft, and Carlos told him he would be fine when they landed. As they set off, they watched the divisionary attack on Berephus start, and realized that meant Dom was under way as well, and they both wished him luck. Twenty minutes after landing, Marcus and Carlos were set up behind a machine gun position.

Carlos was worried because they weren't hearing anything from Aspho Point, but Marcus reassured him that that was how things were supposed to go during commando operations.

They heard over the comm that an Indie commando squad had been spotted near Aspho Point, but Marcus told Carlos not to worry. Marcus then noticed some movement in the tree line near the field, and Carlos confirmed it as well, and contacted Helena. Helena ordered Marcus to load up a Longspear to fire, and Sgt. Daniel Kennen reported that Indie vehicles were approaching. Marcus spotted more Indie troops and informed Helena, and shooting broke out at Aspho Point.

Marcus locked onto the lead Indie vehicle, and Helena ordered the company to open fire. Worried that they might try to take out the facility and to prevent the COG from getting its hands on the research, Marcus began to look for a way to stop the Asps, and determined they would have to cross a bridge to get in range.
