Marcus stayed, as mayor and sheriff, though he missed his friend dearly. Īfter ensuring that the town survived winter, Jacob said his goodbyes and moved on. There, he and Jacob founded the settlement of Broken Hills in fall of 2185. Marcus led the growing group to the site of a pre-War uranium mining town he knew about from old maps. After all, it doesn't get any safer than a Brotherhood Knight and a super mutant veteran. As they traveled together, discussing Brotherhood doctrine and the Unity (in particular the neurolink between the Master and the Cathedral computers), people gradually started following them. As the pair laughed, Jacob abandoned his sworn oath to destroy mutants and joined Marcus in his travels. The two fought for a couple of days, before realizing the futility of the fight. Around 2185, he came across Jacob, a Brotherhood Knight. After the fall of the Unityįollowing the fall of the Master, Marcus took to the wastes. Still, he missed his friends, the best that humanity had to offer. After all, if all humans fought for their beliefs like he did, the Master would not have had to come into being. Though he hated the Vault Dweller at first, he eventually developed a healthy respect for him. The destruction of the Unity by the Vault Dweller hit him dearly. Marcus believed that humans could never elevate themselves alone, that the Master's actions were a necessary step in the advancement of humanity. For Marcus, the Master's plan was a chance for elevation of humans above internecine conflict and war, to break out of the vicious cycle of war, which never changes. He served in Unity with distinction, a firm believer in his vision and philosophy. In fact, he prefers his existence as a super mutant, as he is free of the petty character flaws regular humans suffer from.

He doesn't have any regrets about his transformation into a mutant. 2 Interactions with the player characterĪ burly old mutant with a weary cast to his face, Marcus' toughness and vigor seem at odds with his long history and fundamental belief in the goodness of people.
