Overview

      Marcus is a local boy of Desrocher blood who left Tamarack Falls over a decade ago when he went into the city and signed on the dotted line of some papers generously provided by the United States Army. For the first few years he came back to visit his folks once or twice a year before he was deployed around 09. In 2008 he was briefly in the news as Missing In Action over in Afghanistan and it was believed he had been taken prisoner, he was presumed dead by most and his parents even buried an empty casket in 2012 and his death was in the local newspaper. This was until he was suddently made the news briefly in 2016 again as he was located and returned to the States, even getting some fancy ribbons for his troubles. The media frenzy such as it was was short-lived as Marcus himself refused to talk about it and the only real sign of it is the brace he has to wear for his knee.

      These days he works at a small local auto shop in town and is known thereabouts as a helpful handyman.
