Biography[]
Mark was born in 1967 to Jon Valve and an unnamed mother. Life in the Valve household was relatively peaceful. Alongside his father and brother Connor, Mark often traveled to nearby towns like Ludendorff to hunt animals, which his father would later sell at his butcher shop.
In 1982, Connor enlisted in the military. The family initially supported his decision, proud of his commitment to service. Meanwhile, Mark stayed behind, working with his parents in their butcher shop and restaurant business. He also took on various odd jobs for friends and neighbors, helping out wherever he could.
In 1988, his life took a turn for the worse when Connor returned from military duty. Having lost two friends in battle, Connor turned to heroin abuse. Mark instantly took a disliking to Connor because of this, and recalls Connor betraying friends and taking bribes for money to buy drugs.
Things got even worse when his father began abusing the same drug, only to die in 1989. Later on in the year, Mark's mother disowned both him and Connor, and re-married to a wealthy businessman from San Fierro.
Mark then entered the criminal underworld, while Connor fled New Hamilton City. In 1990, he joined the Jones Crime Family via mutual connections. The following year, he was arrested for assault.
He became friends with Tommy Montana in 1992, when they were both tasked to monitor the Jones Family's illegal imports operations. The two became best friends, looking out for each other as best as possible. Even in 1999, after Tommy's release from prison, Mark is one of the only people pleased to see him.
In between 1993 and 1999, Mark was arrested on three occasions. He also built up his reputation with the Jones Family's inner circle, temporarily replacing Tommy as hitman.
He also has connections in the New Hamilton City Shipping Union, whom he bribes in order to let the Jones Crime Family operate freely.
