Dodger Savage

Mark "Dodger" Savage (né Blake) is the son of Anna Blake. He was raised believing that Dirk Savage - Anna's second husband - was his biological father until 2012 when he met Patrick Blake, ultimately learning that he had a twin sister Sienna. Through Anna, Dodger is the half-brother of Will and Liberty Savage. He also has two children: belated Nico Blake through Sienna, and Myra-Pocahontas Savage-McQueen through Theresa McQueen. In August 2024, Patrick's twin brother Jeremy Blake was revealed to be Dodger and Sienna's biological father.
== Biography ==
=== 1986-2011: Early Life ===
Mark Blake was one of two children born on 5th December 1986 to Anna and Patrick Blake. In circa 1987, Anna fled from an abusive Patrick and soon met Dirk Savage, who Dodger grew up believing was his biological father. Dodger received his nickname at the age of three, through his inability to properly pronounce his cousin Roger's name. Through Anna's marriage to Dirk, Dodger gained two siblings: Will and Liberty. The family were abandoned by Anna in 1997, and Dirk was unable to track her down.
In 1999, Dodger met Sienna Blake whilst assisting Dirk at work at a fancy school. The pair slept together, unaware of each other's identities. Also unbeknownst to Dodger, Sienna fell pregnant following their one-night-stand and gave birth to a daughter, Sophie (later renamed Nico Blake) in February 2000.
