Marlo is definitely a one dimensional character in that the only thing he cares about is power, and that keeps him from being in contention for the GOAT character to me.
I do still have him in my top ten (though he would be near the bottom of it) because of Jamie Hector's performance. I just think he brought such an aura to the character that made any scene with him in it popcorn worthy, and that makes me rate him higher than I would have otherwise. Most of my favorite characters have more depth to them though.
