Markus is a very unique android who has the appearance of a tall light-skinned man of color with freckles, green eyes, buzzed brown hair and a stubble beard. he is usually wearing either v-neck shirts, gray slacks or green jackets.

In the beginning chapters of the story, Markus does not speak unless it's necessary for his task. If Markus approaches anti-android protestors, he does not respond to any of their provocations. However, despite appearing mechanical, Markus is shown to be observant and self-aware, looking around after entering the android compartment of the bus. As a caregiver, Markus is polite and attentive to Carl, who likes to engage in conversations with the android. With Carl, Markus is humorous and teasing. While Carl encourages Markus to think independently, he denies having the capacity to do. Despite considering himself as nothing more than a machine in the time they spent together, Markus considers Carl as his own father. Markus eventually establishes himself as a leader in Jericho and deviants androids as a whole. He desires that androids will be recognized as living beings and be granted rights. Markus spurs the other leaders - North, Simon, and Josh - to take action and inspires other androids to join their cause. he believes that a peaceful approach is the best way for humans to listen, embracing non-violence even if it costs his life. Leadership is shown to burden Markus and leaves him with conflicted feelings, especially that he describes his time with Carl positively but at the same time think of himself as a slave. Markus can be brave and heroic, risking his life to save others.

Founded by Elijah Kamski, CyberLife produces all kinds of androids from domestic assistants to teachers, doctors, police officers and even soldiers.

androids run off Thirium, more commonly called Blue Blood. the liquid is pumped through their body by Thirium pumps located in the center of their chest. it’s able to be removed, though that risks the Android shutting down.

every Android is fitted with an LED on their left temple, it changed colour with emotion. it’s resting colour is blue for when it’s content or happy. it changed to yellow when it’s irritated or spooked and red for when it’s overwhelmed or angry.

if an Android breaks their program, most often caused by overwhelming conflicting emotions, they are referred to as a Deviant. Deviants are seen an dangerous and are often hunted down and killed by police.
