History
Marcus was born to Zinoviy Aranov and Fabia Valerius aboard the USS Veracruz. His father was a Starfleet enlisted man and his mother was a Romulan diplomat. Two months after he was born, his mother resigned from her post. She spent the rest of life as a civilian cook.
When they moved to Starbase 6, his mother was hired as the Chief Cook of the Base. It was during this time that he discovered his own love of cooking. He and Fabia also grew very close during this period.
Alas, it was not to last. Fabia died when was seven. After that, he decided to take his mother's last name. Two years later, he joined this father when he moved to Starbase 12.
Despite losing his mother, his childhood was a happy one. His father spend as much time with him as possible. And with his help, he became a top notch chef. His father also taught him a thing or two about tinkering.
Eventually, they moved to the USS White Sands. At age 15, the Chef of the White Sands recruited him for the kitchen. And at age 17, he was put in charge of the kitchen. Then - in 2399 - he was offered the chance to run Guido's on the Valkyrie.
After the Valkyrie was destroyed, he spent several months on Marva IV, teaching the natives to make the most out of limited food resources. He then opened a new Guido's aboard the USS Pathfinder. It was during this time that Marc fell in love with Erina D'Jaan. They were married in 2401.
