Lord Makarta once led the Ivory Mark, the organisation dedicated to avenging those unable to do so for themselves, in the fishing town of Jaru. Day after day he donned his stunning suit of ivory armour and stood outside the home of the Ivory Mark on Bridge Street where he waited to register prospective members.
Makarta was passed the Blade of the Masters by his mentor, the assassin Callibius. He held onto it for many years until it was stolen and cursed by Derillin Yu'tar in 401 AF, resulting in the creation of the arena game called Champions vs Assassins. For a time, he took Derillin as a protege who later revealed himself to be Callibius' son.
During the year 446, Lord Makarta was murdered while attending a wedding at the Scarlattan Theatre in Delos. Naoise, the liquor merchant, came upon the scene and began yelling, alerting adventurers to the incident. Those present were witness to the verbal taunts of a shadowy, cloaked figure who was later linked to the Quisalis Mark.
