Markus has always question his origins, "they", in the Schola Pregenium always told him that his parents were Imperial Guardsmen and the died valiantlly in some battles far away and that to honour their sacrifice, he is now under their care and guidance. For what seems like years, Markus was drilled to be stormtrooper for that was the role of his father was when he was still alive. Markus never made the decision to be a stormtrooper but it was the Schola who made the decision. Markus excelled in what he believed was the choice that was to be in store for him. He was the top of his batch and was soon shipped out to the Guard.

For the next long part of his life as a stormtrooper, Markus always was the first one in and last one out in any engagements he and his unit got into. He was so good that he received many commendation medals from the Guard. But over the years, doing the same thing over and over again made Markus question his very existence. For once, the stormtrooper was unsure of his very existence. Whether was he truly what he is now or was he destined for greater things. Markus never really gave it much though until the voice in his head appeared during one firefight. Under the influences of the voice in his head, he went against direct orders and did unconvential methods that was never taught to stormtroopers.

What he did that day made his superiors wonder whether it was time for this glorified stormtrooper to call it a day. But fate or rather other influences saw to it that Markus was not to be rested but instead put to one final test. One more battle and it was time for Markus to really know what he is destined for.

Such is Markus background and now he is with the others men of the five regiments heading to God-Emperor knows where. All Markus know is that this battle or rather the objective will bring glory to the Imperium and that he is here to ensure that glory happen or that was what he was told.

Markus is like every other stormtrooper, clad in carapace armour, armed with a hotshot lasguns and equipped with tactical gear. Markus has stowed away most of his commendation medals and only keep the one he got from the Schola when he "Graduted" still pin on his armour. A simple medal with red ribbon and odd shape on the medal.
