Traveled a lot, got tangled up in romance after romance, in plots and schemes and conspiracies. Then, in March of 2020, something happened.

Quotes

  • "You're not really a Malkavian until you've been John Barleycorn."

Rumors

  • Mark is a reincarnation of Emperor Norton.
  • Mark is actually the true Prince of San Francisco. After all, he’s crazy and likes to talk way too much. What more proof do you need?
  • Mark can hear anything said within earshot of a tree anywhere in San Francisco. That’s why he always warns people that trees aren’t Masquerade safe. That or he’s just really into Order of the Stick.
  • Is the secret gay lover of Virgil Deems
  • Mark loathes stuffed animals.
  • Mark really likes talking about food.
  • Mark has had sex with William Stanford. He says Stanford wasn't that good.
    • Why would this be surprising?
  • Accidentally became King of the West on All Soul's Day, got torn apart by Maeanads, then was buried under a hill to dream prophecy for a season. He got better.
  • "He went off into a private room with Prince Villon of Paris, and another time with Raphael de Corazon, and both times came back with his shirt buttoned wrong." "Man, his shirt is always buttoned wrong. That doesn't mean anything except that he's too dumb to know how to button a shirt."
  • Had some sort of drama at Glitter and Gloom in 2017.
  • Appreciates poetry more than certain Toreador.
