I think you're forgetting what half of being a good criminal is: not getting caught. Marcus probably lived far enough away from the kingdoms that actual forces wouldn't be mobilized against him, and was most likely good enough at his job that most people wouldn't be able to just waltz up to his front door and kick his teeth in. Marcus probably did have a reputation, but again, Mercury wasn't an assassin. He was trained as one, but he wasn't running around death-kicking people back in the day.
