Craig Markoff, sometimes referred to as The Colonel, was an influential member of the military and a key component in the extraction of the Black Marker. He is described as having a grey pompadour haircut, slightly longer than military standard, combed back and gelled in place. He was an imposing figure with a square-cut jaw and ice-blue eyes. Markoff and Stevens toasted champagne in an overhead chamber as they watched Altman killed by the monstrosity they had turned Krax into, a Brute-like Necromorph.
