Mark-G313 has a remarkable ability to handle stress, with [[Ash-G099]] remarking he would only become more composed under increased pressure.<ref name="goo116">'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 116''</ref> He has a wry, sometimes morbid sense of humor and is generally more aloof and detached than his peers. He is quite ruthless, tending to favor lethal action as a solution to most problems. Mark is very protective of his teammates, sometimes to the others' annoyance; during the incident on [[Neos Atlantis]], for example, he was convinced he alone should take the blame for his mistake, failing to realize the entire team would face the consequences if he revealed to [[Serin Osman|Admiral Osman]] what had become of [[Spencer Hume]]. With Mark seemingly considering the team's safety a matter of personal pride, Olivia and Ash would rein in his anger by distracting him with humor.{{Ref/Reuse|ant}}

By [[2552#November|November 2552]] Mark kept his head shaved.{{Ref/Reuse|goo116}}

Mark developed a family relationship with his team, joining the other Gammas in calling Lopis "Mom." During his eulogy, Lopis stated that Mark was more than just a soldier and a Spartan-III: he was a son to Lopis and a brother to Ash and Olivia.{{Ref/Reuse|DWEpilogue}}
