History[]
Early life[]
After the death of his father, Marius, age 7 at the time, inherited a cravat and an epaulet factory, quickly gaining prominence among the richest of the rich in his home area.
Season 2[]
In "Northwest Mansion Mystery," Mabel Pines, Candy Chiu, and Grenda Grendinator discover and fall in love with him while looking at the guest list for Northwest Fest, but, fearing he may be out of their league, hesitantly make a pact not to pursue him. However, Mabel and Candy go back on this promise and attempt to use their "combiуned cuteness" to have a shot with him, excluding Grenda and her "aggressive" flirting style; they have no success. When Grenda learns what her friends have done, she approaches him and flirts as she always does, and Marius ends up falling for her. Later, Marius is assumed to be among the people at the party turned to wood. After being restored, Marius approaches Grenda and confesses her admiration to her.
In "Dipper and Mabel vs. the Future," Grenda mentions going to Austria to visit his castle at the end of the summer.
In the end credits of "Weirdmageddon 3: Take Back The Falls," Grenda and Candy visit him during the final days of summer. They are shown travelling in his yacht with Grenda giving him a big kiss.

Trivia[]
- His phone number is 555-0516.
- In Dipper's and Mabel's Guide to Mystery and Nonstop Fun! Grenda predicts that she will marry someone rich. This could be implied as being a possible reference to Marius' eventual appearance.
- Marius is a boy's name of Latin origin. This name translates to "manly" or "dedicated to Mars," referring to the Roman god of war. Marius also appears as a character in the iconic Victor Hugo novel Les Misérables, as well as the movie and musical adaptation of the same name.
- A baron is one of the lowest ranks of nobility, just below count. The German word for baron is Freiherr (literally "free man"). German noble titles go between first and last names, so Marius' full name (if he were a baron) in German would be Marius Freiherr von Fundshauser.
- If real life facts are taken into account, he would only be known as Marius Fundshauser outside of Austria, as nobility titles have been abolished there since 1919. However, in Germany they do still exist.
- In the interview "Between the Pines", Alex Hirsch said that Marius is "the Austrian prince".
- According to Grenda, he is "so clingy."
