## Technical Information

### Model

Michael Addo

**Mark Nestor** is one of the five main protagonists and a playable character in *The Dark Pictures Anthology*'s fourth installment, *The Devil in Me*. He is the cameraman for the documentary film show *Architects of Murder*. He was voiced and motion captured by Fehinti Balogun and was modelled on Michael Addo.

## Appearance

Mark is an African-American with dark skin. He has brown eyes, short curly black hair in a Hi-top fade and a short black beard trimmed at the temples.

According to Du'Met's medical details catalogue he stands at 5'10" (178cm) and weighs 200lbs (91Kg).

Mark wears a white hoodie with a white t-shirt underneath, black pants and white boots. Of accessories, he wears only a thin gold chain around his neck. As a cameraman, Mark always carries a camera and a tripod with him on a black strap. Outside, he completes his image with a red plaid overcoat with black lines. In the interview, Mark wears a black two-button polo shirt with open buttons and an open collar.

Upon arriving at the hotel, Mark takes off the overcoat, but puts it back on when he tries to leave the island. He may be without the overcoat again if he is incapacitated by Du'Met. After falling into a trap but successfully avoiding it, Mark will be noticeably dirtier, although the dirt will wash off when he jumps into water in the finale.

## Personality

Mark comes across as very friendly, having a good relationship with the entire crew, even Charlie. Although he works as a cameraman, he loves photography and dreams to make his name as a photographer.

Although Mark is generally good, he is very indecisive and lacks ambition, preferring to let someone else make the decision. Thus, the reason Mark turned down his friend Murray's offer to be his partner in the studio was because he thought Kate wouldn't approve. He is also hesitant to tell the crew that it was he who broke up with Kate and not she with him, making her look in a bad light.

Despite his indecision, Mark is brave and not afraid to stand up to danger when those around him are in peril. This is evident in the finale, where he always tries to fight Du'Met on the speedboat.

## Biography

Mark was born on June 29, 1992, at some point in his life, he joined Lonnit Entertainment to be their cameraman for their show called, "*The Architects of Murder*". He started a relationship with their TV Host, Kate Wilder, but decided to break up with her at some point, despite still having feelings for her.

On October 26, 2022, Mark was taken on a trip by Charlie to visit and document a replica of H.H. Holmes' "Murder Castle", in order to film their final episode for season one of "*The Architects of Murder*". He arrived on a remote island in Lake Michigan and was checked into the hotel. But when walls began to move and voices began wailing within them, he realized he had stepped into a death trap. His fate would then be decided by the player, in which he would successfully check out of the hotel, or become one of the killer's many victims.

## Relationships

### Charlie

Charlie is Mark's boss, and he is Charlie's most loyal crew member. The two have the highest relationship together, and Charlie always depends on Mark to back up his plans when Kate and Jamie disagree. Mark is the least willing to believe Erin when she says Charlie is helping Du'Met, and is the most reluctant to disobey Charlie's orders. Despite this, Mark can side with Kate when she says she plans to move on from Lonnit Entertainment, and he can side with Erin when she makes an argument for why Charlie cannot be trusted.

### Erin

Mark and Erin are co-workers and do not interact much. Mark is protective of Erin when she is frightened by the blacked out room, and Erin is sympathetic over Mark and Kate's breakup. However, Mark tends to side with Charlie over Erin when it comes to their arguments over leaving the hotel and whether Charlie is working with Du'Met or not. He can side with her and tie Charlie up in Lighthouse.

### Jamie

Mark and Jamie are co-workers and friends, with Jamie being defensive of Mark because she believes Kate broke up with him and not the other way around. Though she makes fun of his fear of heights, the two stay on good terms throughout the game.

### Kate

*Main article: Kate and Mark*

Kate is Mark's ex-girlfriend and co-worker. In the game, the pair are together for a decent amount of time. Kate and Mark's relationship is shown to be strained but can be progressed in the many scenes the two share together. That being said, Kate finds Mark's lack of ambition to be upsetting and does not shy away from calling him out for his indecisiveness. Though their relationship as a couple hangs in the balance, they can still remain on good terms, as seen in the ending if they do not reconcile during the events of the night.
