Profile

Origin

Marduk was the head god of the Babylonians. Originally a local patron god of the city of Babylon, he displaced the earlier Mesopotamian deity Enlil as king of the gods by the end of the second millennium BC. In the creation epic the Enūma Eliš, Marduk becomes king of the gods after killing Tiamat. He splits Tiamat's body into two, and the two halves become heaven and earth. After this, Marduk wishes for humanity to be created, and the first humans are created from Kingu's blood and bones.

Marduk was commonly known by the title Bēl, meaning "lord" and cognate to the Northwest Semitic title Baal. During the Hellenistic period, Bel Marduk would be identified with the Greek god Zeus, and was commonly referred to as Belus or even Zeus Belus.

He is given the choice to remain or not in the shelter as the poison gas consumes the place, if Ayato Katsuragi decides to stay Nishino will go to the surface with Emi Kirishima and Tatsuya Hayasaka although he will leave these two upon reaching the Resistance Base, and as he travels through Tokyo he is killed, but later Nishino later is revived by Marduk himself, who accepts to be his bunrei and meets Sanshiro Soma at a unknown place, however Nishino was killed in Gokokuji Temple by Astarte the Tyrant, he tells Katsuragi this upon meeting Sanshiro Soma at Akihabara Metro Station Building.

Shortly after this Nishino is given the option to revive again, but by fusing himself with Marduk to become one, fusing soul and mind, but heart will remain the same.

One of the kids that lead the children, Eita comes and asks what happened to Marduk, Katsuragi can or not tell the truth to them, but regardless Eita realizes that he's only sealed, that there might be a way to break the seal of the Labis Sigil and free Marduk. After this Katsuragi leaves the place.
