Character and Song Number Twelve: Mark Ashton

Here is anger. Here is pain. Here is a man whose every life is haunted by his greatest enemy: his wife. Mark is the reincarnated king who wed Queen Aeryn so long ago. Usually his life ends by her hand. In the Allison Dutch series he returns for one final chance to redeem himself, one final chance to truly grow into himself, and one final chance to get things right. Send the Pain Below by Chevelle represents his struggle to express basic emotions and trust anyone. The Red by Chevelle is the song I imagine his many victims hearing as he brutally murders them.
