Marco d’Ezzelini is charming, spiritual, but deadly. A great lover and a brilliant shot – definitely a man of fascinating contrasts. He remains a man of absolute integrity, and is deeply frustrated by corruption within the Republic. Brusque but good-humored, Ezzelini is both commander and elder brother figure to the Reggimento Corazzieri; their respect for him knows no bounds. Yet as the Republic continues to ascend unto oblivion, Ezzelini has learned the tough political reality of attempting to keep peace and stability in Veneto.

His actions are ruled by his own sense of duty. As leader of the Corazzieri, he feels he has a heavy responsibility that he must uphold whatever the cost. With a hard exterior, he doesn't show any sign of weakness, even when the Doge questions his integrity. As part of his responsibility, he feels the need to keep some details quiet from those close to him, such as his men. When it comes to his Corazzieri, d’Ezzelini respects them and would fight for any of them if necessary. He doesn't take kindly to criticism for their skills or decisions.

However, he is quite independent and often makes his own decisions. Ezzelini even goes as far as to defend his Corazzieri at court. As their leader, Ezzelini imposes a sense of responsibility over his men and incessantly displays loyalty to their cause whenever one of the Corazzieri is in trouble. Although, he does not inform the Corazzieri of every detail as he feels his sense of duty stands above everything else, no matter what personal feelings they might have against him. At court, Ezzelini bravely defends his men against any accused crime for the honor of Corazzieri.

d'Ezzelini is known throughout the Cuirassiers' Regiment and throughout Veneto as being an amazing marksman with exceptional aim. He is also well versed in horsemanship, sword fighting, and hand to hand combat. Despite a rigid ethical regiment, he possesses a deep insight into human nature that makes him a faithful friend.

Being the most romantic of the Corazzieri members, others cannot help but admire his effortless charm with women, despite the trouble it has caused in the past. Playful, but with a good heart, Marco shows a very sentimental side when it comes to the women, as he loves and cares for the women he's with and never mistreats them.

At times, he can also display quite an intellectual side to his character, being a literati (those who love, read, and comment on literature) and an experienced code-breaker... In addition to this, he has good medical skills and is fluent in English and French.
