Marc and Georges

Marc (マルク) and Georges (ジョルジュ) are fictional sibling mercenaries featured in Bladestorm: The Hundred Years' War. The older brother is nicknamed "Iron Wall" due to his ironclad defense in battle while the younger one bears the title of "Sudden Death" for his prowess with the bow.

Role in Game
Marc is always seen beside his younger brother Georges. The protagonist first encounters the brothers defending supply carts for a nearby castle; he/she is given the task of destroying the carts. When the player returns to the tavern, he/she finds Georges gloating (if the player fails the request), or angry (if the player successfully destroys the carts). Either way he is calmed by Marc.

Personality
Georges is hot tempered, and prone to gloating when victorious and outbursts of rage when he loses. He often needs to be reigned in by his patient brother, Marc. Despite his arrogant demeanor, Georges deeply respects Karen and is a good friend of Naran. He also eventually comes to respect William after the latter saves his life in battle.

Marc is a much calmer figure than his brother Georges, and often makes excuses for the latter's behavior. He also sympathizes with the plights of others more easily and does what he can to aid them.

Marc

 * "So, you suppose you may best me in combat?"
 * "Why not simply yield? You have no hope of defeating this Iron Wall."
 * "Thank you. You have helped me immensely."
 * "You fight superbly."
 * "Tis time for us to earn our keep. Let us away!"
 * "Your lack of training will beget your downfall."
 * "Our defenses should have held firm."
 * "Come one... come all! None shall defeat me!"
 * "This belongs to our forces now!"
 * "Their defenses cannot hold for long! Attack!"
 * "And so they make their move... Prepare to counterattack!"

Georges

 * "You think you can beat me? You have some gall!"
 * "Away with you! You do not stand a chance against me!"
 * "I was not in need of any help, but thank you anyway."
 * "Heh... Very well done!"
 * "Do not fall behind!"
 * "I shall crush anyone who opposes me!"
 * "Nooo!! I cannot be defeated!"
 * "Hah hah... I am invincible!"
 * "I, Georges, have taken this place!"
 * "Let us finish off these cowards for good!"
 * "They would have the audacity to attack us?!"

Fighting Style
Marc commands spear units while Georges uses bow units. This arrangement tends to cover each brother's weaknesses fairly well. Only axes or chariots provide an advantage to one without also providing a weakness to the other. And while other units provide neutral advantage to both Marc and Georges, several of them are not available for command in the early stages of the game. Cavalry units are recommended when solely dealing with Marc since he may use the Shield Defense skill to protect himself from melee attacks. As for Georges, units wielding knives or rapiers work best against him.
