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:

    Throw the children into the river; civilization has given us too
    many.
    It is better to die than to grow up and find that you are colored.
    Pluck the stars out of the heavens. The stars mark our destiny. The
    stars marked my destiny.
    I am tired of civilization.
    Fenton Johnson (1886–1958)

    “Crucify him!”
    Bible: New Testament, Mark 15:13.

    The crowd at Jesus’ trial.

    Love’s mysteries in souls do grow,
    But yet the body is his book.
    And if some lover, such as we,
    Have heard this dialogue of one,
    Let him still mark us, he shall see
    Small change, when we’re to bodies gone.”
    John Donne (1572–1631)
