Background
"Currently working for a security company in Raccoon City, Mark is a Vietnam veteran. Approximately 51 years old, his robust strength has not diminished. He has tasted the emptiness of war and now, more than anything, he just wants to live in peace."Mark is implied to have worked at the Apple Inn in midtown Raccoon City. He has an unnamed wife and son who either escaped from Raccoon City intact or never lived there in the first place. He is troubled by an inability to connect with his son and a growing disillusionment with the patriotic ideals of his youth. It's also hinted that he struggles with drinking, although he does not seem to be a full-blown alcoholic.
Items
Personal Item
Custom Handgun: Mark's personal automatic is similar to the other handguns found commonly throughout the game. Although Mark's Custom Handgun inflicts slightly less damage per attack, the barrel has been modified to inflict more damage at longer range.Extra Item
Handgun Magazine: An extra clip for Mark's Handgun, this clip enables faster reloading. The Handgun Magazine can be refilled by combining it with Handgun Rounds.Special Actions
Guard
Mark can guard against most enemy attacks. Mark can fend off common attacks from most frequently enqountered foes. However, his viral meter still increases due to the contact. Strong attacks from unquie boss enemies may still cause damage to Mark even while he is guarding.Full Swing
Equip a cylindrical melee weapon, such as an Iron Pipe, a Long Pole, or a Crutch. Mark will raise the melee weapon to the usaul position, and then after a moment he will raise it higher. This indicates that Mark is ready to perform a "full swing", causing more damage than the normal attack.Costumes
- Mark:A (Default)
- Mark:B Casual Wear
- Mark:C Colonel's Honor
Fate
There are several endings of the game. Since most Resident Evil games count the good endings, it is safe to assume that it is the same case here and that Mark survived.Escaping With Daylight
The best ending in File #1, Mark is cured of the T-Virus, escaping Raccoon City with Daylight shortly before the government's bombing run.Escaping Without Daylight
Though he is cured of the T-Virus, Mark is unable to recover a sample of the vaccine before the city is destroyed.Escaping Uncured
Mark boards the Helicopter without using the vaccine, though he has a sample of it. Shortly before the city is annihilated, he succumbs to the effects of the virus, and the helicopter crashes in the mountains.No Escape
The serum was never found, and David and Mark remain in the city. Determined to go down fighting, they manage to repair a tank, and charge a hoard of zombies as the missiles destroy the city.Trivia
- Mark's character design seems to be patterned after Ving Rhames.
- Mark is the only character in the Outbreak series who does not have a scenario devoted to him or his workplace. All other characters either visit their place of employment during a scenario (Kevin, Jim, Yoko, George, Cindy) or are always present at the beginning of a stage (Alyssa, David, George, Yoko).
- Mark, as well as Kevin and Jim, never dies over the course of a scenario; all the other primary cast members can be found dead at some point if they aren't chosen as PCs or AIPCs. As Kevin and Jim share a bad ending in the original Outbreak, Mark is left as many fans' pick for a canonical survivor of the Outbreak series.
- While in the elephant stage during the "Wild Things" Scenario, Mark says that his son loved the elephant show.
- In the "Underbelly" Scenario, Mark states that he rides the trains often enough, that he is not good with machines and that he is not crazy about dark areas.
- Mark has a wife and one son and he cares for them a great deal. He can mention them during several scenarios like "Underbelly" and "Desesperate Times" by saying things such as "Did my family make it out of town?" and "I hope they're safe."
- Mark and Kevin Ryman do not have a good relationship.
- Conversely, Mark gets along well with David King.
