Marcus Aleksandr Makhailov

Marcus Aleksandr Makhailov is a twenty-eight-year-old, cultured and well-spoken son to one of the oldest noble families in Sokovia. 

Raised as an only child Marcus received the best Catholic education and martial training at the most opulent and expensive private schools in Eastern Europe. A graduate from Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, Marcus enjoys cars, classical music, plays the piano, and likes cooking authentic Sokovian cuisine.

In 2012 after the attack on New York by alien Chitauri forces. So it was no surprise that Marcus joined the Sokovian military. It was a time when many nations took a critical look at their military budget and defense posture. In the Sokovian service he was promoted regularly, rose to field agent, and in two years became a covert special forces operative. 

Then in 2015 Ultron targeted Sokovia killing hundreds and laying waste to his homeland and the stability of Eastern Europe. Marcus stood helpless as he watched on television as friends, family, and lands were lost to an insane robot intellect intent on killing the Avengers and reducing the world’s population.

Distraught, Marcus returned to Sokovia and gathered what resources he could find and unintentionally unearthed his family’s dark connections with Hydra and the true origins of his family’s wealth.

Marcus learned his family had deep ties with Hydra and supported The Red Skull during WWII and his innovative experiments with the Tesseract. Marcus also discovered it was also his family who smuggled Chitauri tech out of New York. As well as extra-terrestrial assets that included a leviathan carcass his family shipped across the Atlantic for Von Strucker of Hydra.

Additional findings revealed the Makhailov family also helped fund human experimentation combining alien technology with Hydra’s Project Centipede in recent years. 

It seems that himself may have been groomed for eventual induction into Hydra. 

Feeling the weight of atonement for his family’s atrocities Marcus turned to prayer

Marcus eventually settled in a decommissioned safe house over a coffee shop in Rome, Italy. Here Marcus works as a café barista in the day. At night Marcus protects the streets of Rome as the vigilante “Morning Star” while he searches for former Hydra agents and their victims.

Marcus has been decoding a list of Hydra war-criminals and a smaller list of test subjects he can hopefully find answers for. It has been an on going process.

Since the beginning of the year there is an uptick in smart tech smash and grabs in Rome. Mostly AIM  smartphones, but what is concerning for you and your continued work is these smartphones use the same charging component as your tech. This puts a strain on this already rare resource. 

You have been investigating these thefts outside the law and have not made much progress. Last night was the most recent robbery- the second in a week. The AIM Store at the Roma Termini.
