Mark Duncan

Mark Lee Duncan is member of the Duncan crime family and a key player within the Hyperian borough of the Harborne Boys criminal syndicate. Holding the position of General, Mark is responsible for overseeing the counterfeiting and bookkeeping operations of the borough across all of Hyperion, solidifying his reputation as one of the few powerful figures within the borough. There are still a few individuals who surpass his level of influence, such as his cousin Edward Duncan (who holds the title of lieutenant commander), and Otis Byrne, who reigns supreme as the commander of the entire organization on Hyperion.
== History ==
=== Early childhood ===
Mark Lee Duncan was born in Jade City in 2666 to Aurion, a prominent member of the Hyperian borough of the Harborne Boys, and Xiulan, a Cantonese girl from Maogang that Aurion had met during business trips south. Growing up, Mark was exposed to the intricacies of the criminal underworld from a young age, as his father was a skilled bookkeeper and counterfeiter.
Despite his mixed ancestry, his mother initially instilled in him a strong sense of his Cantonese heritage and culture. Nevertheless, Mark identified more with his British roots as he grew older and more involved in the Harborne Boys. He was a quick learner, and his father recognized his potential early on. Aurion began teaching Mark the tricks of the trade, imparting his knowledge of bookmaking and counterfeiting, and soon Mark was an expert in these illegal activities. One night in 2682, as Aurion was on his way home from a meeting with some of his associates, he was ambushed by a group who had been trailing him. They had managed to mortally wound him following a drive-by, leaving him for dead on the side of the road.
Despite his best efforts, Mark arrived on the scene too late to save his father. The loss was a devastating blow, both personally and professionally. It also drove Mark to become even more dedicated to the family business; he tried to find answers for who had killed Aurion, but the current reigning commander at the time, Elijah Crawford, said that it was nigh impossible to find out.
As Mark grew older, he filled in the gap that his father had left behind in the group's high echelon of Duncan family members, eventually becoming a key player in the Hyperian borough's finances. Promoted to the position of General during the Southern Albion Gang War by Elijah, Mark was responsible for overseeing the counterfeiting and bookkeeping operations across all of Hyperion, an impressive feat that cemented his reputation as one of the most powerful figures within the organization.
Currently, Mark is silently siding with his biological cousin Edward Duncan in an ongoing dispute with their adopted cousin, Otis Byrne, over control of the Hyperian borough. However, due to the clearly negative implications of such a dispute going hot, Mark has distanced himself a bit from the overall situation.
