Marked Marksman (5e Class)

Marked Marksman

No one knows his origin, everyone who knows him says he has a mark on his heart, but his heart commands the marks on his skin. Some claim to see a third eye on his forehead, others claim he looks like a shadow, but what anyone see the most, are those who went crazy after crossing his path, disturbed by a symbol, as far as his mark is known. He is very good at leaving his mark, all beings that cross him get a mark, those who unfortunately live, go crazy with the symbol of his mark. The lucky ones who die, bear the same mark as him.
