Mikael Vierge (born July 11, 1991) is a French professional wrestler. He is best known for his appearances in the United States with WWE NXT under the ring name Marcus Louis and with Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) under the ring name Baron Dax.
Vierge was trained by Darren Burridge. He debuted on December 17, 2005 for Irish Whip Wrestling working as Pierre Marceau.
In 2013, WWE signed Vierge to a developmental contract. In WWE's developmental territory NXT, under the ring name Marcus Louis, he appeared on the November 24 episode of NXT, losing to Wesley Blake. Louis formed an alliance with Sylvester Lefort, playing up a gimmick based on their French heritage. They wrestled their first match together on December 19, in a triple threat tag team elimination match against Colin Cassady and Angelo Dawkins, and The Ascension (Konnor and Viktor), which was won by Cassady and Dawkins. Starting into and during the course of 2014, the team of Louis and Lefort endured more losses in tag team competition. At NXT TakeOver: Fatal 4-Way, Lefort lost a Hair vs. Hair match to Enzo Amore, but he did not adhere to the stipulation post-match and ran away, leaving Louis to be shaved bald instead. On the October 16 episode of NXT, Louis finally snapped and turned on Lefort and attacked him during a tag match. Nearing the ending months of 2014, Louis went on to wrestle more singles matches, winning most of them, including gaining a victory over his former partner Lefort.
