We're highlighting the soldiers of Delta Squad all week, and Marcus Fenix leads the charge. Learn about the man behind the legend.

In the world of Gears of War 3, few soldiers are better known than Marcus Fenix. He leads Delta, and came through as the bloody hero of some of the most important engagements of both the Pendulum Wars and the conflict against the Locust Horde. His indomitable will and remarkable combat skills have brought his friends through hell and back again.

To learn more about Fenix, click on the image below for a full-sized version of our first Gears of War 3 Character Profile.

When I saw "Character Profile," I was expecting a lot more information than this.
by Brian Monday, May 17, 2010 at 01:06 PM

I'm sorry but no, Marcus does not weigh 230lbs at 6'1".

He would be MUCH more skinny if those dimensions were even realistic.

Pretty cool.
by kgreene03 Monday, May 17, 2010 at 01:18 PM

actually @brnmbrns, John Cena of the WWE is 6'tall and 240lbs and is slightly bigger than than Fenix is shown here. I think there pretty much spot on with the size weight ratio.

Cool feature, but Marcus is probably the least interesting one you could do. If your a fan of the series that is. The one on Anya should be cool.

Why is it bar code tattoos are so B.A.?
by Jeph Monday, May 17, 2010 at 02:14 PM

I'm with brnmbrns on this one. Those dimensions are STUPID.
by Zombieathon Monday, May 17, 2010 at 02:22 PM

sweet can't wait for the rest of the team's profiles...

love the skull and lancer cross bones pic, (first one on top) that would make a great tattoo.....hmmmm
by Hellbound Monday, May 17, 2010 at 02:25 PM

he's a freaking gorilla!there is no WAY he weighs only 230lbs!
by stayedstar Monday, May 17, 2010 at 02:39 PM

I always pick the dude with the helmet who has like 4 twin brothers who each die in the game xD
by Andy Pierce Monday, May 17, 2010 at 03:03 PM

I am aware that they will only do delta profiles for now, but i would like to see profiles for characters such as Kim, Tai, and Dizzy. That would be awesome. I can't wait for Gears of War 3, that is going to be intense.
by Eric Kinsey Monday, May 17, 2010 at 03:03 PM

I like the "assumed romantic involvement with Anya Stroud" at the bottom. Do you think they'll finally kiss in Gears of War 3?
by maddkilo Monday, May 17, 2010 at 03:11 PM

Ha this is fcuking awesome. although when you say character profile, lol i was thinking you were submitting a psychological profile with everything analyzed from his stance in morality to the thinking behind his every action and choices... but its still a good write.
by Dan Monday, May 17, 2010 at 03:25 PM

you guys just cant stop making the 1 year wait hurt more can you?
by Stu Monday, May 17, 2010 at 03:34 PM

*** 230lbs at 6'1". i weigh 255lbs at 6'4" and i almost look like that
by achuie Monday, May 17, 2010 at 04:12 PM

Nice. I don't know if this makes me a woefully ignorant noob, but I didn't know about the "romantic involvement" part.
by Chase88 Monday, May 17, 2010 at 04:20 PM

While it's a very basic profile, Fenix is and always be a BAMF
by Threebrain420 Monday, May 17, 2010 at 04:21 PM

You also have to account for his ridiculously bulky armor when saying he would be skinnier.
by mikeymike1 Monday, May 17, 2010 at 04:31 PM

@brnmbrns

maybe that is the weight WITH the suit and kit. just a thought.
by TARG Monday, May 17, 2010 at 04:33 PM

There's no way he only weighs 230. Of course, in reality there's no way he'd be able to move do to the fact that his skin would rip open as soon as he merely flexed a muscle.
