Mark

Mark Mathison is Ambassador Melaia's kindhearted husband. He is very accepting of her job as an Ambassador, and provides encouragement and compassion, strengthening their marriage. Mark and Melaia have a daughter, Leah. He originally works as a researcher, before passing his exam and becoming a full fledged pilot in Galaxy 2.

Biography
Mark was born to a financially stable household. His mother, a captain of a Solar Fleet ship, died when he was seven, and his father remarried a few years after. Mark, being an only child, was pushed to always perform his best by his father. Mark made above average grades in college, where he took courses on researching. He met his future wife, Melaia, after graduating, where he immediately took a liking to her. They married years later, and are currently enjoying their happiness of being together. Before the events of Galaxy, Mark worked as a researcher, volunteering to go to Orchastrainia in order to learn more about it.

After the events of Galaxy, Mark has fathered a child, Leah, with his wife, and is a novice pilot, having discovered an interest of flying starships through recent events. He is eventually recruited to serve as the USS Silencer's pilot, where Mark becomes an integral part of Alex's crew.

Galaxy
Mark is originally aboard the USS Explorer, which becomes captured by aliens of the Third Galaxy. He, Luke, and Vanessa are taken as prisoners, and must be rescued by Melaia and her team. Upon his reunion with his wife, he hugs and kisses her passionately.

Galaxy 2
In Galaxy 2, Mark has a more prominent role. He accompanies Alex and his team on their trip to the Third Galaxy to rescue the President. Having just completed piloting courses, and lacking proper hands-on experience, Mark is at first very unsure of himself. He is assigned, much to Melaia's delight, to be the pilot on Alex's ship, the USS Silencer. Alex has faith in him, and does his best to assure Mark of his skills. When the USS Silencer approaches the Third Galaxy, Mark successfully navigates the ship through a tense fight between members of the Orchastrainian fleet and ships of the Third Galaxy.

Galaxy 2 concludes with Mark and Melaia on their way home. They embrace as Mark tells her that Leah has spoken her first words.
