As the song goes, Marvin is the son of a son of a sailor. His dad, Thomas, had a fling with a Marid, and Marvin was the result. Mother had business back on her home plane and left them while Marvin was still an infant.

Thomas, with Marvin in tow, kept up his profession as a sailor. The Andoran maritime service is always quite busy, and they actually still do a bit of privateering against Chelaxian slavers. Marvin learned to be an expert in all aspects of life on a ship both sailing and maintenance of the vessel. His ability to breathe water made repairs below the waterline much easier. The crew took him on as a mascot of sorts teaching him what they knew, and this included work with a rapier.

After years of service on a variety of ships Thomas and Marvin finally ran into some poor luck and their ship was smashed by a dragon turtle on the Arcadian ocean. Marvin, bceause he could breathe water was the only survivor. He was knocked out in the attack, but woke under water.

Able to survive in the ocean without much trouble, he did eventually find a passing vessel and was able to return to Andoran. However his love for sailing was no longer there. He sailed for a while for the Bountiful Venture Company, but when an opportunity to work in a new colony came up, he leapt at the chance.

Now he’s on the Peregrine. While he is a colonist(soldier), he does help out with the sailing since there’s never enough hands for the jobs that need to be done.
