No Longer Buried - IWTV Verse
Disclaimer: I've only seen the show, only have interest in the show, so please excuse if stuff wouldn't technically work - also just going to use this as base for all vampire stuff from now on
Turned at 22 in the early 1700s, Marcus took over his father's established businesses and set about pushing investments into the industrial revolution in and around London. He had no interest in joining the London coven or interacting with them as they kept to their hunts, and he kept to his plan to use newfound immortality to steer human development towards a bright new era of ever-improving technology.
While business partners, politicians, and nobles thought of the man as a brilliant recluse, Marcus frequently welcomed those of lower birth into his abode both to feed and as staff. A fondness for humans continued to tediously gnaw at Marcus, occasionally turning to bouts of love; though this affection kept him from creating any fledglings as immortal company, unwilling to steal the humanity that made them so entertaining.
During the Great War, Marcus watched as numerous vampires in the UK rallied together with the growing idea that humans could clearly not be left to their own devices and that they should live under vampire rule. Disinterested in this farce (and enraged with his then-lover's draft into the war), Marcus set about to dismantle the plot and kill those who had 'masterminded' it. Unsettled by the sheer volume of death - particularly by personal loss - Marcus retreated to his country home for decades.
When another war of scale broke out, instead of leaving humans to their own devices, Marcus assisted the British Government from the start. Watching as humans continued to create atrocities, the vampire started to become disillusioned by the modern humans and lose his fondness for the country folk he had grown up with and adored even during his afterlife.
Realising that Marcus would be a huge threat should he decide humans were no longer worth his time, a plan was enacted to capture the immortal and seal him away until they could be assured he posed no further threat.
Stored within the Kaelidoscope Research Facility, Marcus was experimented on for over 50 years until the seemingly harmless 'Ben' was released into MI6's use. It is known by higher-ups that Ben is a vampire and is allotted the correct food.
As usual, Marcus definitely isn't as gone as initially thought.
