Like every Khorenheim person Markus is very strict and like every other Khorenheim he wears the uniform with honor and pride. He takes his duty very seriously even above his "average Khorenheim" and he views Khorenheim standards as the only standard that matters. "You succeed of you die." To Markus that is the only standard worth anything. To question orders is question the Primarch himself, the only result is to be shot like a dog in the street. when it comes to religion and duty it is very black and white, and many that he served with both feared and respected that part about him. having said this, Markus is a very good person. There are many who would vouche for bravery and self sacrifice in combat, He will fulfill orders, but he will do his best to bring as many of his men back alive. by Khorenheim standards he is soft willed, since he refuses to abandon or to waste the lives of his brothers and sisters in arms like many of his commander. Not to say his commanders were heartless, but they had very ridged ways of thinking. For many who look at his record they would see an excellent soldier with a soft spot and for the most part you would be right.
Most people from other worlds tend to believe people of Khorenheim as strict almost machine like in their every day lives. This is especially the case with Markus as he believes himself to be a born soldier, Due to his family status on his home world he was pushed to extremes to be of future service to the union. This has caused him to develop mildly sociopathic tendencies, even among a people that created emotionless soldiers who would gladly die in service to humanity if it meant the betterment of humanity he was a loner. He doesn't want to be a loner, but because of his upbringing he is unable understand the problems of his own people let alone issues that bother off worlders. The only people he was close to growing up was his older brother, and his high school training squad. To most off worlders at best he could be considered awkward and at worst weird and creepy. He does how ever have some good social points, as he is fascinated by animals often times spending his time with the kennels of the few military dogs are kept on his previous post. Lastly in battle he is a great leader, as he is not as narrow minded as most of his people.

Markus was born the third of six children of the Jager family. On Khorenheim the Jager family is well known as one of the loyalist most traditionalist families on the planet. During the war The Jager family served with distinction as they fought the Novogorod during the occupation. Having to live up to his great grandfather's example during the war, Markus was pushed ruthlessly to be the best soldier he could become. Alongside his mandatory military training, Markus was forced to follow a training regime created by his father.
