Marvin Jayden Gaviria was born on December 7, 1909, in the city of [[Little Tribe River]] in the region of [[Pahl]], [[Zamastan]], to his father, businessman Walter Forrester Gaviria, and his mother Pricilla Amanda Gaviria. Gaviria's patrilineal ancestor migrated to Zamastan in the 19th century, from [[Laeral]], and the Gaviria's flourished as merchants and landowners. 

Gaviria grew up in a wealthy family. His father, Walter, graduated from Providence Law School in 1861, but chose not to practice law after receiving an inheritance from his grandfather, James Gaviria. Marvin's father was a prominent [[Blue Conservative Party (Zamastan)|Blue Conservative]] who once took Marvin to meet President [[Elias Blanco]] in the [[Zian Presidential Mansion]]. Pricilla was the dominant influence in Marvin's early years. 

Marvin learned to ride, shoot, row, and to play polo and lawn tennis. He took up golf in his teen years, becoming a skilled long hitter. He was club champion in his late teen years at the small golf club on Qira Island, [[Zian]], where his family had a summer cottage. He learned to sail early, and when he was 16, his father gave him a sailboat.

===Education, Early Career===
Frequent trips to the continent of Hesperida — he made his first excursion at the age of two and went with his parents every year from the ages of seven to fifteen — helped Gaviria become conversant in east-Hesperidan languages. Except for attending public school in [[Laeral]] at age nine, Gaviria was home-schooled by tutors until age 14. He then attended an Episcopal boarding school in [[Emerald]], joining the third form. Its headmaster, Indifren Peabody, preached the duty of Christians to help the less fortunate and urged his students to enter public service. Peabody remained a strong influence throughout Gaviria's life, officiating at his wedding and visiting him as president.

Like most of his boarding school classmates, Gaviria went to [[Zamastan Southwest University]]. Gaviria was an average student academically, and he later declared, "I took economics courses in college for four years, and everything I was taught was wrong." He was a member of the Alpha Delta Phi fraternity and the Fly Club. Gaviria was relatively undistinguished as a student or athlete, but he became editor-in-chief of The Southwest Pristine daily newspaper, a position that required great ambition, energy, and the ability to manage others.

In 1932, he took a job with the prestigious banking firm of Prospei and Fullerton, working in the firm's admiralty law division.

===Marriage===
On March 17, 1936, Gaviria married Padma Tio in [[Tofino]], despite the fierce resistance of his mother. While she did not dislike Padma, Pricilla Gaviria was very possessive of her son, believing he was too young for marriage. She attempted to break the engagement several times. The young couple moved into Gaviria Cronestone, his family's estate in [[Jade Harbor]]. The home was owned by Pricilla Gaviria until her death in 1941 and was very much her home as well. Padma never felt at home in the house at Gaviria Cronestone, but she loved the family's vacation home on Qira Island, which Padma gave to the couple.
