Prologue - Marcus
"Sooooo … you want to hear another story, huh?" Marcus narrated, "Wellllll... I have some time."
"The Borderlands of Pandora were told to contain mysterious alien treasure troves filled with advanced technology and incredible power.
Vaults, the people called them... and to seek one out was to earn you the title of Vault Hunter... at least by me. You could say Handsome Jack was one such explorer, though his methods could be seen as... somewhat unsporting. He ran the corporation Hyperion... and died trying to claim Pandora as his own.
History's attention is fickle, my friends. It will remember those pirates like Handsome Jack but forget the adventurers who risk it all for less... especially those who are cursed by obsession. Sometimes you have to learn how to let things, or people in this case, go. And other times, some lessons and people, are worth more than the price of a Vault. Stories remember both sides of the tale.
Thank God I don't have to go through any of that!
Our story begins with a crazy professor and a bedazzling stallion."
