Personality & History:
His childhood was not a happy one. His mother, Karen Halstrom, came from a broken home, and yet managed to be successful despite it, graduating from highschool and going on to college while keeping a job. The fact that she had gotten pregnant in her last year of highschool with her on-again-off-again boyfriend, Carl Brennan, didn't help, but she worked past it. Carl had dropped out of highschool and gotten involved in drugs and the dealing of the same, and Karen quickly decided that he wasn't a good influence on her already iffy finances, as well as on the child. And at first it seemed that Carl either cared enough for his child, or didn't care at all, and left the two to their own devices. Until Carl got into a debt that he couldn't pay off, and decided to rob from Karen. He broke into her house in a Heroin-induced state and shot her, and promptly broke down crying. Mark called 911 and saw his father imprisoned for murder.

Karen's parents were nowhere to be found, so Mark was passed on to his grandparents on his father's side who, despite their son's bad behavior were good people. They owned a farm 30 miles out of Boston, and they saw young Mark as their second chance to raise a child right, after their dismal failure with their son. And, as it all turned out, they didn't do that bad a job at it. They raised their grandson on their own principles, based off of the American Constitution and the Bible, and while Mark never took to Christianity all that much, he was raised an honest kid, with strong morals and a firm determination not to end up like his father, as well as being a top-notch marksman, able to hit a hare in the ear with his little .22 rifle at the age of 12, and only getting better and better as time went on.

He applied for and graduated in the police academy after highschool, at his grandparent's insistence that American men should either serve in the Armed forces or in the Police force, maybe both. He served as a beat cop for three years until he got involved in a hostage situation in which he managed to negotiate two hostages out the bank robber's hands before putting a bullet through the man's head while he was hiding behind the third. He was given a medal for his action, and was given a place in the Boston SWAT team.

He was awarded several more medals through the years for bravery in the line of duty as well as proficient handling of tricky situations. There was the small matter of when his father got out of jail on parole and was found three days later with a doubletap through his chest, but that was mainly overlooked by most people. He served with honor and dignity otherwise, and while his crude language and run-ins with the press despite his successes kept him from being anything resembling a posterboy, he was a 'good cop' and a good man to the rest of the Police force, well liked by most, and avoided by the rest. He was far from perfect. A bad marriage and a divorce had him devoted to his job, and while he was a good cop, he wasn't against turning a blind eye to the more harmless infractions committed by his fellow officers.
