Biography
Marcus Yeon was born in Springwood, Ohio sometime around the year 1990. It is possible that he may have lived on Elm Street, though this has not been confirmed. Marcus attended Badham Preschool in 1995 and was one of several children who fell victim to the predatory nature of gardener Freddy Krueger. When the parents of the Elm Street children learned about what Freddy was doing, they organized a manhunt, which resulted in Krueger's seeming demise. However, his spirit lived on and he sought revenge against the children whom he believed had betrayed him and began tormenting them in their dreams.

As Marcus grew older, he relocated to New York. He began suffering intense nightmares about a burned man with a red and green sweater and a clawed glove. The nightmares became so intense, that Marcus was terrified to go to sleep. He began posting a video blog detailing elements of his dreams, in which he described Freddy Krueger. One of his preschool classmates, Nancy Holbrook, found Marcus' blog and began reviewing it. The final entry showed a terrified Yeon declaring how he thought he might soon die. At which point, his body was thrust forward by some invisible force into the computer screen. It is safe to assume that Marcus Yeon died at this time, though it is unclear what methods Krueger used to end his life.
