Mars is the son of Sir Jiles, the greatest warrior in Odegan's history. After
his parent's untimely death, Mars' grandparents assumed the task of raising the
lad. Ebinezer, Mars' grandfather, has devoted much of his time teaching him the
ancient skill of 'acceleration'. Mars has been as excellent student, and is now
prepared to begin his service in the King's guard at Odegan Castle.
