Marko was a fictional character in the 1987 vampire horror film The Lost Boys. He was portrayed by Alex Winter.
Biography[]
Marko was a member of the Lost Boys gang and a vampire, who prowled the town of Santa Carla after dark.
Marko was first seen on the boardwalk, where he and the rest of his gang got into a fight with a surf Nazi gang. After being thrown off the boardwalk by a security guard Big Ed, Marko returned with his "brothers" to kill the guard.
Marko was the one who brought the "wine bottle" containing vampire blood to David, and joined the other boys in egging on Michael Emerson to drink it. He also joined his brothers in hanging off a railway bridge while a train passed overhead, murdering a young couple and later massacring the "Surf Nazis" gang in an attempt to persuade Michael to become a vampire.
He was the first of the gang to be killed by being fatally staked while sleeping in the cave, by the Frog Brothers. His agonized screams woke the other Lost Boys, forcing the Frog Brothers and Sam Emerson to flee the cave. The vampires attacked the Emerson house later that night partly to avenge Marko's death.
Personality Traits[]
He appeared to have little to no empathy for the people he hunted and killed, and even seemed to take sadistic pleasure in killing. Marko was quite obedient and dutiful towards David, doing anything he asked, including fetching things for him and even jumping off a rail bridge when he was told to do so. He seemed to enjoy being a vampire.
Relationships[]
Paul[]
Marko appeared to be closest to Paul out of all the Lost Boys. They were often seen joking or fooling about together in the background. An example of this is when the boys are hanging down from the rail-road bridge, he and Paul are the only two kicking out and laughing at each other. After Marko was killed, Paul seemed very affected by it, personally going after the Frog Brothers to seek vengeance for Marko's death.
David[]
Marko was very dutiful and even subservient towards David, carrying out all the requests he made of him and running errands for him, which implies that he had a great deal of respect and loyalty to David. It is very possible that David was the one who made Marko into a vampire. When Marko was killed, David attempted to kill Sam Emerson and the Frog Brothers in revenge, he stopped only when his hand was touched by sunlight, which caused it to burn. However, he immediately decided that he and the other Lost Boys would go after the amateur vampire hunters that very night to get their revenge, implying that he cared for Marko and was affected by his death. Although he subsequently failed to get revenge for Marko's death.
