Marcus is shown to be aggressive towards Zaunites and arrogant towards his peers, especially after his elevation to Sheriff. He often dismisses the concerns of his inferiors, i.e., Caitlyn, and does not hesitate to assert his authority when needed. An example of this is assigning the graveyard shift at the Progress Day festival to Caitlyn when she disobeyed his orders. Although he is depicted as unfeeling and apathetic to people's suffering, he is shown to have a soft spot for his daughter whenever her safety is concerned. Silco uses this weakness to manipulate him by threatening to harm her if Marcus doesn't comply with his orders. Even though he is corrupt, occasionally, he is shown ruminating and regretting his harmful actions—but he never takes action to repent for them. " Hm?"
