Marco used his influence to build his organization, earning him the nickname, The Baron. He then settled on Koutor, a planet in chaos due to the global gang warfare. Marco, instead of joining the Dark Spacers, assembled his own PMC with the funds he had acquired working for the Blue Suns. Prior to becoming the Baron, he was an officer in the Blue Suns, up until their dissolution in 2425 CE, when they became the Dark Space Mercenary Company. Baron Marco Verrasi was a notorious crime lord on Koutor most noted for his sadistic means of torture and warfare.
