Oh, my interpretation had been that someone came for revenge against Marcus, and Mercury had helped to fight them off, but his dad didn't survive the fight and the attackers fled once their job had been completed (probably being hired hands). I figured that if it had been Mercury, having been trained as an assassin, he would've managed to kill his father with poison (or at least with the element of surprise) instead of a long, drawn-out battle outside. Also, he would have probably looked more triumphant and less angry once it was done. I might be wrong, though; there's no proof either way.
