A picture of him before his injury:

Mark was a professional hunter for most of his life. He comes from the 19th century, and explored much of Africa and India looking for rare game to hunt. He is generally outgoing and friendly, but is suspicious of people who use magic, believing them to be sorcerers.He kept a collection of journals and books on an estate at his house. He also enjoyed exploring ruins and reading old tomes. After an unfortunate run in with a pride of lions, he lost all control of his legs. He retired from hunting, and started hunting books instead. He quickly became a renown archaeologist for literature. He came to the Library after discovering a buried Library in the middle of the desert, and discovered a Way into the Library. He came back the following day equipped to survive a long time, and has dedicated the rest of his life to reading and discovering great history books within the Library. He hates discussing his cripple and secretly believes he is less of a man because of it.
