Lets have some fun and try to figure out what Marcus is like before we meet him.

Marcus is obviously an intelligent person to be the leader of such a well organized, and disciplined group of people. He has to be charismatic and draw people to him. His people follow the rules explicitly and seem to have bought into the greater good.

Though there are obviously some draw backs too. They have had people try to sneak in (as evident by Victor's comments) so we know he's made some security mistakes. He also has a Utopian ideal of how the Colony should be. Hope had to be sponsored (for lack of a better term) by Tanya because no one wanted her because of her disability.

So what do we think of Marcus, his leadership and his Colony?
