Marcus Cambridge

Marcus is a main character in the entire Gambit, always with his math, and his bets. He is totally oblivious to most human interactions (Tina had to ask him to marry her - he never got the message), and is a genius at anything space, math, and transportation. He was and is one of the original members of Team BMW, loves beer, and believes in Barnabas.
