## Biography

### Early life

Born to an immigrant Irish mother and American-Irish father, Marc took pride in his Irish blood. At the age of 17 in the Iron Heart Pub, he drank two jugs of alcoholic beverages in an act of pride. He was beaten by his father following the incident, as one of his classmates had ratted him out. Later in 1971, Marcus and his family lost their house to an arson attack. Due to the family's struggling income, they were unable to recover from the loss. This motivated Darkhand to enlist in the military, as he saw no other way to gain money.

### Enlistment in the military

Marc enlisted in the army when he was 18, and fought in Vietnam alongside the 2nd Special Forces Group after proving his combat skill and capabilities at Camp Weighton in Pennsylvania.

### Kidnapped by the North Vietnamese

During another operation in Khanh Chi Mong he was captured by the NVA, however instead of being killed was brainwashed, and made to believe his name was **Minh Mong Bui**. He was an important member of the Vietnamese special forces from 1972 to 1975.

### Repurposed by the Soviets

After the Móng Cái incident, the Soviet Union (who knew about Barber's existence) kidnapped Barber, and began to manipulate his mind using the shadow goddess Lilith Umbranata, who they had also captured in Cambodia. After she realized he was the one who saved her life in Cambodia, she not only gave him more powerful shadow-particle powers, but also began a plan to use him in the future.

After having his mind manipulated, he was made to believe that his name was **Misha Radomir Bedavich** (Russian: **Миша Радомир Бедавич**) and that he was a stone-cold killer who was a Lieutenant in the Soviet Army. He was granted the rank of Kapitan in the KGB and later promoted to a higher rank in the Shadow Korps. During one of his operations in 1977, Barber and his entire team were killed during an operation in Malaysia, and thrown into the Malacca Strait. Lilith felt a disturbance signifying the death of Barber, and she went to go look for him. After a long seven years, she found his body, and revived in 1984. The two had their first full conversation, and together assaulted the base of Kesuma, an enemy of the Soviets who had fled to Malaysia.

### Returning to the Soviet Union

After returning to the Soviet Union, he was able to regain his rank and title, becoming the Overseer of Operations in the Shadow Korps in 1989. After being given his old quarters back, he began to lose sleep, and when he did get it, he dreamt of his old life as Marcus Barber. Specifically, he dreamt a lot about the Battle of Khanh Chi Mong City, and Karolyn Woodrow, a woman who he loved. She was a member of MI6, who oversaw Operation Velvet Carpet. His rank would not last long as the Shadow Korps would fold in the following year, foreshadowing the collapse of the Soviet Union. In early 1991, he regained a memory about Karolyn Woodrow and MI6.

### Planning an escape

After finding some notes left over by Kazimir Poltorak referencing finding ways to escape, Barber realized Poltorak was after the same thing he was: a way to escape the Soviet Union. After being informed of a smuggling route to the United Kingdom, he used his status in the Shadow Korps to summon Poltorak to his office. He could also sense the collapse of the Soviet Union, and so he abandoned the KGB with Poltorak and left for the smuggling route.

### Getting to the United Kingdom

First, the two traveled from St. Petersburg to Riga. While in Riga awaiting for a naval transport to Putgarten, Barber had a run-in with the Latvian street gang Kopiena, who were targeting those believed to be Soviet-sympathizers, or communists. Due to Barber's heavy Russian accent while speaking in Latvian in a bar, five members of the gang began to harass Barber, and assume that he was a dirty Soviet. One of the members, Stanislav, threw a drink at Barber, which he caught and threw back at Stanislav, cutting his right hand open. The four other members then rushed at Barber, who was able to handle them with ease. Poltorak, who was hanging out outside of the bar, rushed in, and helped fight the gangsters.

Stanislav, witnessing his friends being beaten up, pulled out a handgun and began firing randomly. The patrons of the bar scattered, causing chaos. Barber was able to disarm Stanislav, and knock him out, ending the fight. The two fled quickly, able to hide until the transport they were waiting for arrived in a port in Jūrmala. After getting to Putgarten, the two were eventually able to get involved with another small smuggling effort in order to get to Amsterdam, and eventually, the United Kingdom.

### Assassination Attempt on Laura Rudawski

During the assassination attempt on Laura Rudawski, Marcus was sent in to the manor later on during the operation. He not only captured Ryan, but killed Adam Rudawski during the mission, however failed to catch up to Laura.
