Son of the famous Richard Cromwell - the first spaceborn human. Marcus was born the same year the Martian wormhole was discovered. When he was 10, the colony ship, known as the Noah's Ark, was launched with Richard Cromwell as captain. After the apparent loss of the Noah's Ark along with Richard, Marcus did not lose the thirst for space exploration he got from his father. When he was old enough, he enlisted in the Federation Fleet, only to find himself in the middle of the Martian War, as colonies and the Megacorps declared independence from Earth. Marcus Cromwell's ship was ambushed and crippled near Phobos, and he spent 10 years in suspended animation, waiting for someone to find him. Finally, he was found and revived to find that Earth lost the war. The victors proclaimed him a war hero nevertheless. Eventually, SpaceTech made Marcus an offer to command one of their Heavy Corvettes, which he accepted and was given the Stiletto.

In the mission of Shukenja Base Beta around planet Pluto, Marcus was given the command of Angelwing, the spaceship of alien origin he discovered in the previous mission. Reaching Shukenja base, he encountered an unidentified object - later known as a Mechanoid - stayed calmly near the base. He also discovered another wormhole similar to the one discovered around Mars many years ago. While Marcus and his crew were analyzing Shukenja Base Beta, the unidentified object suddenly attacked their ship. In their confusion, something had entered the ship's main computer system and identified herself as Angel, the AI of the base. Angel activated the shield system of Angelwing and told Marcus to jump into the wormhole, because she could not protect the ship for a long time. Marcus and his crew had no other choice but to follow Angel's advice to enter the wormhole, only to find a shocking reality on the other side of the universe they found.
