A former officer in the Taldan Horse, Marina was forced into retirement after a catastrophic injury. While riding in a full charge against a bandit camp, her horse stumbled into a pit trap, throwing her. Both of her legs were amputated by a buried blade, and she would have died right then and there if not for a nearby cleric of Iomedae. Despite her disability, she has remained active on the joust circuit, using a set of armored false legs to sit on a mount.
Lieutenant Gortius was met at the Tanager Jubilee and participated in the jousting competition.
