Summary
As a sergeant Markus Kruber led the 8th Ostland Swordsmen to victory many times, inspiring confidence and loyalty in his men and forming a strong bond with them. When a Necromancer wiped out his unit except for himself, Markus found himself a broken man and attempted to leave the army, but was denied. The Witchhunter Saltzpyre however, after witnessing his skill, convinced his superiors to let him go and accompany him in escorting a Bright Wizard prisoner to Ubersreik for trial. After the events of Vermintide 1, Markus continues to be in Saltzpyre's employ. Based on which career the player chooses he has either left the military to become a Mercenary, returned to his Huntsman roots, or received a knighthood and become a Foot Knight.

Official Description
"Although still world-weary and marked by his experiences, Kruber has found purpose in the aftermath of Ubersreik. As a soldier first, last and always, he understands that some battles have to be fought, no matter the cost. And who better to fight them than Markus Kruber? At first, the former Ostland Sergeant was wary and distant towards the other members of his newfound ragtag unit of five, but along the way Kruber did reevaluate both fellow fighters and schools of thought."
