Marco serves as the quarterback for the Dinosaurs. He prefers the name Marco over Maruko, since Maruko is considered a female name (in Japan, "ko" is primarily a feminine suffix, and there is the irony that their manager is named "Maruko"), while "Marco" resembles a male Italian name.
Initially, he was simply a kind-hearted football player who enjoyed the affection of his eventual manager, Maruko. However, after watching a Christmas Bowl where the Kansai finalist Teikoku dominated the competition, he became fixated on the idea that strength is the only way to win and defeat the strongest teams. Driven by this motivation, he recruited players like Gaou, aiming to advance through Kanto and build a force capable of stopping Teikoku. This obsession with strength, however, put him on bitter terms with Maruko.
In an interview, Marco stated that he likes girls with love. According to Deimon's Musashi, Marco seems somewhat like a yakuza member. He has a habit of ending his sentences with "I'd say." He also dislikes facing strong opponents.
