History
Early Life
Marcus lived during the time of the American War of Independence, but had avoided the war to study. One day Bishop and his men, drunk from a massacre in Concorde, vampirizes his brother Silas. Silas, however, chose to die with honor and cut his throat, not wanting to return empty-handed Bishop transform Marcus. A little later Bishop turns Aidan, the perfect soldier, a fact of which Marcus was always jealous.
In 2007, Marcus finds and beats, two weeks before the full moon, Josh who works at a diner but is stopped by Aidan.
Season 1
He works at a local Boston funeral home, covering up murders perpetrated by other vampires. Marcus helps Aidan remove the body of Rebecca, and later nearly gets into a fight with Aidan while trying to assert his authority and often and blatantly tries to one-up Aidan to prove his loyalty to Bishop.
While under the influence of Ray, Josh beats Marcus, overpowering him with his temporarily superhuman strength. Marcus did not take the humiliation well and, without Bishop's orders, he brutalises Josh's sister Emily outside a club. This act, and is failed attempts to lure Aidan back, have caused him to lose Bishop's favour recently. Warned by Aidan, Josh moves with Emily back to the family's house, only for Marcus to follow them. After a brutal fist fight with Aidan, who demands Marcus keep their rivalry between them and keep Josh's family out of it, Marcus retreats.
Marcus is later shown to be in contact with another Vampire coven, The Dutch. It is unknown howewer if Marcus is a formally contacting them on behalf of Bishop or is their spy in Bishop's coven.
He is killed with a stake through the heart by Rebecca to prevent him from killing Aidan, as well as revenge for having been behind the death of Bernie, during Bishop's massacre of The Dutch.
