Markus is trying to play detective, or at least discover more information about the Murder of his sister Victoria Eldridge, while also find connections of his own within the city. If you are interested in helping spin the web, I am more than happy to work something out.
Feel free to post below, or ping me on Discord if interested, or you want to know more!
*It is important to note that Markus is Mundane, as of right now does not know anything about the supernatural world
Connections to Markus
Markus is a smart, and charismatic individual with ties in the world of STEM as well as a past history with the Department of Defense. He graduated with honors and a degree in Engineering Physics, where he immediately started working with the DoD as a deployable agent who specialized in the deployment of specialized military technologies. Pretty much meaning, he was never one to see the front lines, but was a POI in combat zones tasked with getting in, setting something up, and getting out as fast as possible. When stateside he focused on DARPA and other STEM related contracting both as his cover, and to pass the time until he was needed again.
Now however, he has stepped away from the DoD, and moved to Easthaven where he enrolled at Baxendale College, as a student a random STEM related masters degree program who lives at the dorms.
This means there are a lot of possible connections with Markus that I am happy to flesh out:
Connections with Victoria
Another major way to connect and thread with Markus is to be connected with his twin sister Victoria. The two of them were very close, even if their paths took them in very different directions.
Victoria unlike Markus was very connected to the supernatural world, having lived in Easthaven for the past 8 years. She is a known arcanist, who worked with a number of supernatural shops. I have not yet determined how powerful she was, nor what her specialties(keywords) were. I plan to flesh that out in characters with the connections that know her.
Important notes are that she was always one to bite off more than she could chew, and looked at life much like a big adventure. Especially as she started to learn magic. She was not above skirting the law, and was very well know to tiptoe against the line. She had a thirst for knowledge, and would take every opportunity to advance her understanding or skill.
This however is what lead to her death, she was discovered murdered no long after the Circle Murders kicked off. It is important to note OOC that she was NOT a circle murder, but does have some ties with the ritualists, and got killed because she tried to step away when she realized she was in too deep. Beyond that, nothing else is known or decided about her story as not to influence the players or plot being created around that event. The goal is to keep it vague, and go with the flow.
It is finally important to know that anyone who knew Victoria well would also know about Markus. She was not shy when talking about her brother, and what she knows about what he does(which isn't much), in the same vein she would have talked about close friends, coworkers, and dates in letters she sent back to him, with one carveout being that she keeps anything that has to do with the supernatural cut out. This means, expect Markus to look for you, and try to make contact as his search for information grows.
There are loads of possible connections with Victoria, here are some I think of:
Adoptables
Currently I have no direct adoptables, though as threads come out and names are mentioned they can be found here.

This means there are a lot of possible connections with Markus that I am happy to flesh out:
- Individuals who are Special Forces, or DoD whom were deployed or working with him.
- Individuals(Guy or Girls) who were deployed, and had a passionate night with him.
- Individuals with a background in STEM, or government contracting who knew him professionally, but not as DoD
- Current students or professors at Baxendale who might cross paths with him
- Other connections I might have missed I am happy to talk about!

There are loads of possible connections with Victoria, here are some I think of:
- Past lovers, or individuals she has been on dates with. She was not a shy girl, and though she had no long term partner, over the years there were probably fluttering's.
- Close friends, people who knew her well, and spent time with her. The kind of person she would have talked about most often in letters, that would frequent the same haunts as herself.
- Fellow Arcanists, she was always wanting to learn more about magic, and push her craft. She would have tried to find likeminded people, especially if they have connections to curses, or other mysteries.
