Michael Malarkey plays Markus in The Night Agent Season 2

Viktor is a convicted war criminal in The Hague, and he is now seeking revenge for his leader.

He used a chemical called KX to kill his enemies in the past and now wants to blow the UN by placing canisters of the same chemical, which is so volatile that it becomes poisonous in seconds. Markus is a military officer who is a trusted ally of his uncle and shares the same sentiments of revenge.

In the show's climax, Markus even kills Viktor's son because he was turning out to be a liability in their plans.

In the The Night Agent Season 2 finale, he kidnaps Peter's hacker girlfriend Rose and Wilfred, a scientist, to recreate that chemical and use it to explode the UN. He successfully places KX's canisters all over the building, but Peter is just in time to seize all of them, except one, which Markus escapes with. After a tense standoff, Peter tracks him down, shoots him, and retrieves the last canister.
