* TheEngineer: Marshall would appear to be one of these, as [[spoiler: Not only does he actually have an engineering degree in Aeronautical Engineering, he also successfully built a fortress out of salvage in the middle of a jungle, and is generally the one between the two survivors who comes up with practical applications for Twilight's discoveries about the island.]] For instance, in Chapter 9, he [[spoiler: successfully integrated magic and human electronics when he built a functional Thaumic Field Expansion Detector out of salvaged C-130 Cockpit electronics and a crystal he had had Twilight build for the purpose. Bear in mind that the electronics in question had been sitting around for five plus years, and that in order to make it he had to do so in poor lighting. With insufficient tools. In a cave. [[MemeticMutation With a box of scraps!]]]] Since between the two of them, Marshall is usually the more violent, though probably the less dangerous, he might qualify for the Combat Engineer. In Chapter 11, [[spoiler: Marshall improvises a pony seatbelt for the Crimson Maverick utilizing a BDU blouse, a lapbelt, and a roll of duct tape.]]
