Marlon (MySims Kingdom)

Marlon the Wizard is a close friend and trusted adviser to King Roland. He is the kingdom's wizard and is capable of crafting the scepters the Royal Wandoliers use to do their work. In MySims Kingdom, the king announces that there will be tryouts for the position of Royal Wandolier. You, harbormaster Barney Cull and Princess Butter compete through a series of trials hosted by the wizard in order to win the wand. Marlon teleports the contestants to his private isle and they undergo challenges such as collecting Mana and building structures. Marlon lives on the Isle of Magic but spends his days at the kingdom's capital in the castle with Roland and speaking to other island residents. He even conjures up batches of cupcakes for the king!

Profile
Although an accomplished conjuror and all-around enchanter, Marlon failed his Teleportation Etiquette 101 class in wizardry school, and as a result developed a bad habit of popping in on people unannounced. Fortunately for the residents of The Capital, he generally keeps to his Isle of Magic, where he spends most of his time playing with, errr...posing his beloved collectible Kingdom Pals stuffed animals.
