⚠️THIS POST CONTAINS MINOR SPOILERS FOR DETROIT: BECOME HUMAN ⚠️

Well chat, it’s finally time for the third DBH post. Now, Markus may be my least favorite playable character, but that doesn’t mean he’s bad. He was originally an Android gifted to some rich and famous painter named Carl.

Carl is old as hell so he needs to use a wheelchair, which is why he needs an Android since he doesn’t exactly have anyone else to help him make food or go to the bathroom.

But one day, when Carl and Markus got home from a party, they found out that Carl’s drug addicted son, Leo, broke in to steal and sell his paintings. Obviously, Carl was not happy about this, but Leo went on a rant about how Carl loves Markus more than him, ending in him attacking Markus.

Markus was ordered to not fight back, but you can actually choose to become a deviant and hit Leo, which I did, resulting in Leo hitting his head on Carl’s wheelchair lift, knocking him unconscious.

The police, who were called by Markus earlier in the mission, then come in, assume that it was Markus and shoot him. A few missions later, you play as him in a junkyard, without your legs, one eye missing, broken audio sensors, and a broken pump regulator.

You eventually get out by getting parts from decommissioned androids and find a group called Jericho, filled with deviant androids that want freedom from human slavery. Markus tries to help them, and, at least in the ending I got, they send a broadcast to the entire city by breaking into a news tower.

That’s all I’ve done for now, and if you’ve read this far, play DBH it’s absolute peak³.
