Back on [[Dostan]] (one of the [[Paragon (Moon)|Paragonian]] colonies), Marsello was a member of [[Clan Meggen]]. However, since all three of ''Mars Triumphant's'' loaders were from the same clan, only the [[Meggen|First Loader]] went by his clan-name, with Marsello and [[Ralt]] instead using their mother-names to avoid confusion.{{Fn|1b}}
Marsello was one of a batch of reinforcements recruited from Dostan to reinforce the [[Battlegroup]] that included the 7th Paragonian.{{Fn|1b}} By the time of the [[Kalidar War]] he was the youngest crew member aboard the tank, having replaced [[Atrellan|another Guardsman]] who was killed by the [[eldar]] in the [[Indranis Campaign]].{{Fn|1a}}{{Fn|1b}}
In '''328.397.[[M41]]''', the 7th Paragonian was stationed in [[Macaree's Tablelands]] on [[Kalidar IV]], the tanks powered down for reactor maintenance. However, an [[ork]] warband used a dust storm as cover to attack the [[Imperial]] positions. The crewmembers of the 7th's tanks who remained onboard during the maintenance cycle were forced to use the tank's small arms to prevent the tanks being boarded by orks, with [[Ganlick]] and Marsello manning ''Mars Triumphant's'' sponson [[heavy bolter]]s. Despite the weight of fire, however, one of the orks made it to ''Mars Triumphant'', climbing into the tank and attacking the crew. In the fighting, the ork stabbed Marsello in the chest with its knife, killing the young man.{{Fn|1c}}
