Marcus (vampire)

"It's through the pain that we find the truth of who we are... It strips us of our defenses - we are made innocent again, like children. I like children, Angel... it's all right, I'm here to help you find that innocence... here with the light..."

- Marcus

Marcus was a rather old vampire and a torturer for hire. He's portrayed by Kevin West.

Biography
"Marcus is an expert. Some say "artist", but I've never been comfortable with labels. He's a bloody king of torture, he is. Humans, demons, politicians, makes no difference. Rumor has it he invented several of the classics, but he won't tell me which ones. Beneath the cool exterior, you'll find he's rather shy... except with kids. You like kids, don't you Marcus? Well, "likes to eat" and other nasty things."
