Mark was a police officer and member of the LAPD who joined the Resistance during the First Invasion. Mark was hostile to Willie when they captured him for research and was instrumental in convincing Harmony Moore of their true nature by exposing his real skin. When the operation to expose Supreme Commander John's nature on national television began, he and Elias Taylor agreed a mercenary named Dan Pascal could be their best hope of gaining access to John's ceremony at the Los Angeles Medical Center; which was later deemed correct. Mark had feelings for fellow Resistance member Maggie Blodgett and developed a relationship with her to the point they planned to get married. Sadly these plans were never carried out, as Mark was wounded in the assault on a Visitor water-absorption plant. He stays behind, kisses Maggie goodbye, and holds the Visitors back long enough for the others to escape and is killed.
Maggie later uses Mark's death as leverage to commence the plan on using the Red Dust to poison the Earth against Visitor habitation; stating that if they didn't, then all the personal sacrifices, such as Mark's life, would have been for nothing.

Famous quotes containing the word mark:
“Now mark me how I will undo myself.
I give this heavy weight from off my head,
And this unwieldy sceptre from my hand,
The pride of kingly sway from out my heart.
With mine own tears I wash away my balm,
With mine own hands I give away my crown.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“But the mark of American merit in painting, in sculpture, in poetry, in fiction, in eloquence, seems to be a certain grace without grandeur, and itself not new but derivative; a vase of fair outline, but empty,—which whoso sees, may fill with what wit and character is in him, but which does not, like the charged cloud, overflow with terrible beauty, and emit lightnings on all beholders.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.”
—Bible: New Testament, Mark 10:25.
