Born in Washington, DC in 1968, Marcus Queen IV moved to and grew up in New Orleans with his parents and brother and sister when he was 12. When he was 15, his father was murdered in a robbery gone wrong. The killer was never caught. This lead to Marcus joining the Air Force at age 19, and then 4 years later, the NOPD. He was eventually partnered with Officer Dallas Parker. The two have remained close friends ever since, even getting promoted together.
