Group Role:

Often the one to burst out a joke, whether they're walking around or fighting for their lives, Marco is the one who often deals the laughter to the group, whether they want it or not. He'd rather die laughing than crying, but don't let that fact fool you: Marco deals with the harsh realities of war just as much as the other Animorphs, and at times even more so than what he really decides to show at face value.

When the war first began, Marco was the farthest one away from willing to join the fight, often criticizing at the insanity of it all, and the risk involving their families. However, once he learned the truth: that his mother (long persumed dead) was actually a host of Visser One, the highest ranking Visser in the Yeerk Empire, he chose to stay and fight to save her. This caused problems because as the war escalated further and further, Eva (Marco's mother) became a near impossible task to save as long as Visser One controlled the body.

While Marco may be the comic relief of the group, he proves himself to be a quick thinker and an excellent strategist by often being the one who opts to consider the clear harsh reality from point A to point B when no one else does; noting and planning what is best to win the war. Not willing to back down, and focusing entirely on a strategic stand point, he decided to be the one to kill his mother and get rid of Visser One even against the wishes of his fellow Animorphs.

As the series progresses further, Marco evolves in many ways, often showing his ambition and the responsibility he's willing to take in order to save his family and friends, and showcasing the talents that he possesses from a tactical standpoint to help win the war, all while cracking a joke.
