Subject's Known Aliases: Susannah Marius, Maria Valeria Marius, Aelia Marius, Aelia Maria Marius, Maria Aelia Marius, Maria Gratidiana Marius. Subject also is known to have used "Nitakribit" and "Maribeth." Seventy-two other aliases are suspected but remain unconfirmed.

The investigatée began her writing career with a Pulitzer Prize winning exposé of scandal in the archaeology industry called Big Bone Room, Little Bone Room. She then tried her hand at writing a romance novel. Before she could complete the book, however, her reputation as the world's foremost authority on the oeuvre of Barbara Cartland led to a summons to Hollywood to write for Sweet Savage Possession, a BAD-TV anthology series loosely based on famous romance novels. The success of that series led to the position of head writer on Forever Gulch (repentant vampires condemned to fight crime in the arroyo country), You're a Good Man Charlie Chan (a 30's revival series), and Relic Raider (an archaeology series).

During a stint with Luuzidez Studios, the subject served as creative consultant for a series of hits syndicated directly to cable: The Daughters of Josiah Banks, Return of the Daughters of Josiah Banks, and The Daughters of Josiah Banks Return.

Marius was head writer for Johnny Peoria, a made-for-TV movie which was redone for theatrical release under the name of The Insubordinate and won six Oscars (including best costuming but not best writer).

Subsequently, Marius produced a string of hits in rapid succession for Lazy Dog, including:
Bod Squad
Cleopatra 1803
Dusk to Dawn Zone
Man of the Wild Frontier
Queen of the Wild Frontier
Loretta Swit Theatre
Wagon Train to the Stars
Fairy Circle
Cooking Secrets of the Mata Hari Brigade
The Six Thousand Dollar K-9 and
Vacuum: 1999.

The subject's age is indeterminate as several birth certificates are of record but none can be confirmed. However, it appears that under an alias she may have served a one of the writers for several of C. Lou Le Sexec's movie and television projects, including The Guns of Minnistrone (1980). If true, the subject is well over thirty and completely superannuated by Hollywood standards.

It appears that the subject intends to found a Hollywood dynasty to rival the Cochrans, the Hustons, the Matosians, the Consadines, the Quaides, the Keaches, and the Baldwins. She's imported several relatives to the Los Angeles area and is reputed to be summoning more on a monthly basis.

An embroidered pillow in the subject's office bears the legend: Nepotism: it's not a vice, it’s a lifestyle.
