The son of Marcus McCloud and Calisto Daven, and younger brother to Marcia McCloud and adopted brother of Jessamine Pain DaShird. Losing his mother only days after his birth, Markus knew only his sister and aunts as they took care of him and taught him the ways of Enchantra. Marcia, not wanting her brother to be anything less then anything he desired, pushed him into studies, placing him in different colleges around the lands to learn as much as possible with magics, health, maths and the new study of sciences. Between colleges, Markus returned home to spend time with Jessamine and hunted down his father, spending time with him unlike her usually grumpy sister.
Upon returning to Enchantra from Spain, Markus bumped into his one of Marcia's adopted sisters Thea. Remembering their childhood fun, sneaking off for cookies and seeing her struggling, he decided to stay in Enchantra a bit longer. Not to mention, Jessamine's and his blood sister Marcia's problems, caused him to want to protect his sisters instead of studying all the time. The call to arms against an army of undead soon went up, giving Markus an opportunity that he had hoped for. And with Marcia and Thea going as well, he followed their lead. Thea recieved a terrible blow to the head, along with Markus. Instead of caring for herself, Thea used her magic to heal Markus. Soon after, Thea and Markus were unseperable.
Markus soon after joined the guard as the invasion of the Undead put all on edge. He recieved a position on Vampirism and Paranormal Investigations. His sister began to teach him more about his dragon, yet once he found out which dragon he held within him, he became uncertain of if he could indeed control it. The shadow dragon was known for it's fierceness, viciousness and it's evil tedencies. Maybe one day he will find someone to teach him the right control over the massive beast. For now, he tries on his own and strives to find some peace within himself.
