Marcus Tábor was the lord of Dras-Leona. He abused his authority however and for the first time in nearly ten years, King Galbatorix left the capital city of Urû'baen to put an end to Tábor's rule. Coincidentally his visit was very close to the time Eragon and Brom were in Dras-Leona, searching for the Ra'zac. The result of this visit is unknown.
