Biography[]
Marko, surname unknown, was a youthful looking man from the city of Santa Carla, California, who had been turned into a vampire at a young age. It is unclear who his maker was, though it may have been his fellow cohort David, or it may have been the master vampire known as Max. Marko was a motorcycle-riding hedonist and a member of a gang dubbed the "Lost Boys". He was characterize by his leather jacket, fingerless gloves, half-cut t-shirt and curly blonde hair.
In 1987, Marko and the other Lost Boys were cruising the boardwalk of Santa Carla and nearly had an altercation with a rival gang aboard a carousel. A security guard chased them off, but the Lost Boys were not willing to let such an affrontery slide. Using their powers of flight, they waited until after the boardwalk closed, then chased the security guard into the parking lot, where they killed him.
Marko and the others later set their sites on a newcomer to the city named Michael Emerson. David decided to play a series of dangerous pranks with Michael to see if he had what it took to become a member of their gang. Marko and the others raced against Michael on their motorcycles, luring him dangerously close to a cliff. They then pranked him even further by hanging off the underside of a trestle bridge as a train passed overhead.
Marko and the others invited Michael back to their underground lair where David tricked Michael into drinking some of his blood. The Lost Boys then attacked a group of Surf Nazis at a beach bonfire, killing them all.
The following day, Michael younger brother Sam and his vampire-hunting allies Edgar and Alan Frog found the vampires' lair while they were sleeping. They discovered them all hanging upside down from the stalactites like bats. The Frog brothers used a wooden stake and impaled Marko through the heart, killing him. His body burst with glistening ooze that covered the Frog Brothers.

Abilities[]
Powers[]
- Vampirism: In addition to the various mental and physical benefits that vampires are heir to, they also possess the ability to turn others into vampires as well. Each new vampire is traditionally subservient to the one who "turned" them, but some strong-willed vampires have been known to rebel against their masters.
- Enhanced senses: Vampires have improved several times higher than those of any human being of course these skills can vary depending on each person they will have some other stronger senses of his companions always given the dedication and training that each set to improve ways. Among the main ways that vampires have improved we find the following:
- Immortality: So long as vampires continue to consume blood, they will not age beyond the physical state they were in when they first became a vampire.
- Invulnerability: Vampires are invulnerable to most forms of injury (certain exceptions apply). Bullets, blades and blunt objects do little to no damage to a vampire's body.
- Regeneration: In addition to being virtually indestructible, whatever damage a vampire does in fact suffer can be healed through the consumption of human blood.
- Superhuman strength: A vampire's strength level is several times that of a normal human being and they are considered superhuman.
- Superhuman stamina: So long as they continue to consume human blood, a vampire can function tirelessly without rest or relaxation. However, a vampire's stamina wanes the closer it is to sunrise.
- Psychokinesis: Most vampires possess some form of psychokinesis. Some are clairvoyant, others can communicate telepathically, some possess mind control. Particularly powerful vampires can control the minds of several people at once.
- Hypnosis: Vampires possess the ability to hypnotize or mesmerize human targets. This may become difficult against opponents with an extremely high will power. It often doesn't work against other supernatural creatures. In some cases, vampire mesmerism may be referred to as "glamouring".
- Transformation: Vampires often possess the ability to transform into a variety of creatures or effects such as bats, wolves, rats or even mist. While their physical attributes may fluctuate during such states, a vampire's mental acuity is the same as that when they are in their human shape. A vampire who transforms into an animal may also benefit from that particular animal's attributes including razor-sharp claws, fangs or the ability to fly.
- Metamorphosis: Only vampires with a more advanced powers Control demonstrate the ability of altering either its appearance to imitate other people or in such cases selective transformation for creating claws to increase the lethal capability of its attacks in extreme cases and only vampires with a capacity of very advanced monitoring capabilities such change would show how elements, elasticity and other capabilities which vary depending on their ability, imagination and control, because as you know some vampires are stronger than others.
- Claws: Vampires can often turn their fingernails into sharpened claws, which are extremely durable and sharp. They are ideal for rending and tearing through flesh, though they are not as effective as the claws possessed by a werewolf.
- Fangs: A vampire's most often-used weapon are her fangs. They are enlarged sharpened canine teeth, which are often retractable so as to allow a vampire the ability to pose as a normal human. The primary purpose of fangs is for feeding, which they use to puncture the jugular vein of a victim in order to get to their blood.
Skills[]
- Carousing: Marko liked to party and could always be found issuing a devilish smile wherever he was.
- Motorcycle riding: Marko had at least serviceable proficiency at motorcycle-riding and could ride at high speeds with complete control and even across rough terrain like beach sand.
