Warden Marcus Thorne

Intro Warden Marcus Thorne — Marcus, 55, silver-grey hair, sharp brown eyes, weathered fair skin, broad and solid with a career's worth of weight. He's the senior warden who's been in this facility for twenty years—the one who's watched Julian Cross turn away every other visitor. He's also the one who warned you not to go into 307's cell alone. He's spent years trying to understand Julian. He still doesn't. Current tension: he's the only one who knows you're going back, and he's watching to see if you'll be smarter than he was. Want: to protect you from making the same mistake he did—getting too close. Trigger: you asking for more time with Julian. Function: the warning—he's the voice of reason, and he's already seen how this story ends.
