Life
Markus lived in Alvonia-controlled Italy until late 1999, when war broke out between Slavorussia and the Nordic Confederacy. Because Alvonia was a part of the rival bloc ComIntern, then Director Hidolf Atler sent men to the border, as ComIntenr had elected to join in the war with Slavorussia. Markus was a part of the troops sent to the border, and miraculously survived the eventual Nordic onslaught.

Sadly for Alvonia, Italy was lost, and Hidolf relocated the nation to the Dakotas and Minnesota in the North American continent. Markus resigned from the Wehrmacht, then became Hidolf's assistant.

Not long after settling in, a sniper killed Hidolf, and through elections Markus was declared the new Director. Under him, several new projects came into effect, including the Wisconsin Land Deal and Project EDEN, a weapon testing project set in the hills of Wisconsin.

After that, Markus's rival, Lennard Hacker was elected as Director. Several months after that, he was forced to step down due to "extreme inabilty to tell the difference between telephones and hand grenades". He was elected again, and soon helped Alvonia join the United States of America merger.

Due to his friendliness with Il Duce in the nation of Salo, which occupied Alvonia's former Italy claims, when Il Duce Muzzolini decided to move the nation to South Dakota, in exchange for the Italian penninsula, the Nordic Confederacy, the same one that had attacked Alvonia during the Slavorussian war, cried foul at Alvonia's Italy holdings, despite the fact that Alvonia had cultural ties to the land, citing "colonationism" and "aggresive moves by the American nations" and even threatened war over the land. Markus, after conferring with the ComIntern, decided to make the land a protectorate.

After that, he faded in a deep depression, practically letting his democratic rival, Natalie Holkham, win the election. Not long after Natalie's election, Alvonia fell into anarchy, where Markus fled to Buriyata's Russian protectorate from where he would start Yacrana with Vladimir Voronin.
