Mark Thorn

A jackal! You were born of a jackal!
Mark Thorn was the son of Richard Thorn from a previous marriage and cousin to Damien — with whom he got along very well. The two boys enjoyed the privileges of a prominent and wealthy family and attended Davidson Military Academy together. They both held the rank of Cadet Staff Sergeant in the Bradley Platoon. Mark played the bugle for the marching band.
He was portrayed by Lucas Donat.
== Early Life ==
Very little is known about Mark, except that he was born Richard and his first wife.
The novel states that his birth mother was named Mary and she died in an accident some time after Mark was born.
== Damien - Omen II ==
At school, while waiting to meet with their new platoon leader, Daniel Neff, bully cadet Teddy mocks the Thorn family in front of Mark. Mark punches Teddy in retaliation, and Teddy then starts beating Mark up until Damien intervenes. Damien causes Teddy to go into a fit of terror, to Mark's awe, until Neff breaks Damien's focus.
To take their minds off of what Damien just did, Mark and Damien decide to play rugby in the academy field. Days later, on Mark's birthday, the Thorns have a large birthday party for Mark. The day after, Mark, Richard and Damien are playing ice hockey on the frozen-over lake, when Richard's old friend Bill Atherton falls through the ice and is killed.
Some days later, Damien takes Mark and several other academy cadets on a field trip to a Thorn Industries chemical plant. There, when the machinery breaks down, releasing toxic fumes, Mark, Damien and the other cadets are taken to hospital; but are allowed to leave and return home when they do not suffer any severe effects from the chemicals.
Later one night, while the Thorns are watching a movie at home, Dr. Charles Warren visits to speak to Richard in private. Mark overhears Charles' conversation with Richard, in which Charles theorizes to a denying Richard that Damien is the Antichrist. Mark discovers from a Bible and what he previously saw Damien do to Teddy that it is true.
The next morning, Damien follows Mark into the woods near the Thorn residence, and Mark tries to avoid him. When an afraid and upset Mark confronts Damien about his unholy origins and what Charles said, Damien admits first reluctantly and then proudly to being the Son of Satan. He also admits that Mark is like a brother to him, and asks him to join him. When Mark refuses, Damien introduces an aneurysm into Mark's brain, painfully killing him.
== Physical Appearance ==
Mark was a Caucasian male and was 13-years old. His height was unknown, but he was noticeably taller than Damien. He had thick dirty blonde hair with bangs, brown irises and a cleft chin.
Strangely enough, in the novel, he is said to have had light brown hair.
== Powers and Abilities ==
• Bugle Skills: As he is the bugle boy in the marching band, Mark is capable of playing the bugle.
• Punching Skills: Although he is mostly friendly and nonviolent, Mark has been shown to punch, as evidenced when he punches Teddy after he insulted his family.
== Trivia ==
• Some fans ship him with Damien Thorn.
• In the novel, Mark is said to have had light brown hair. This is ironic since he has dirty blonde hair in the film.
