Description

【Markus was born and grew up in California. After receiving his diploma, he eventually came to work in Concordia Medical Institute where he met Lloyd Wilkens. During an experiment, Markus was attempting to remove a tumor from a mouse, only for him to let the tumor come into contact with artificial blood; the tumor then started growing at an unnatural rate and mutated into the pathogen known as Stigma. When Lloyd insisted on researching Stigma in spite of the risks, Markus left Concordia. Wishing to hone his skills and do some soul searching, Markus volunteered to be transferred out to the Montgomery Memorial Hospital in Alaska, followed by colleague and friend Valerie Blaylock who wished to learn the Healing Touch from him. Markus was well liked by the staff at Montgomery, and enjoyed the less hectic lifestyle. But when Director Hoover retired and closed Montgomery, Markus, Valerie and ex-patient Elena Salazar who was now assisting Markus were forced to move back to the golden state and return to their positions at Concordia. After the disappearance of Professor Wilkens, Markus, Valerie and Elena were drafted by Irene Quatro to join Caduceus. Markus is able to use a version of the Healing Touch that slows down time. Because he can only use it once per operation, Markus will only use the Healing Touch when absolutely necessary. Using the Healing Touch will fatigue Markus every time he uses it. If Markus overuses the Healing Touch, he will pass out.】
