Marcus is a merchant who is found on the first floor of the Sea's Bounty Tavern, once the task of retrieving some documents from him is given to you by Edwin during the side quest Find Proof of Mae'Var's Treachery. You can pay the man to receive the documents (or sweet talk him if you're a female), pickpocket him, bully him, or kill him (which can be done "legitimately" or in cold blood).

Some of these options are based upon his reaction to your strength and charisma, just your charisma, or your strength and dexterity.
