Early Career
World Internet Wrestling
Markus Stone first got his start wrestling for WIW. Owned by Jason Chae, Markus Stone experienced a good deal of success in this company. He also made a good number of friends very quickly. SoZe, Jole Tempest, and Shane Slade quickly come to mind. However, it was there that he also met Chris Storm. It is somewhat strange that the two became close friends, however, because Storm had ended the career of a long-time friend of Markus', Super Starr, whose real name was Michael Evans, trained with Markus Stone. His career was cut short in a horrible accident, as Chris broke his neck during a match.
Markus won the WIW Television title almost immediately, and after a few defenses gave the title away. Not long after, he was placed in the main event scene. Although Markus only held the World title once, he was constantly in the main event. This later lead to his being inducted into the WIW Hall of Fame.
Another iteration of WIW, WIW:NG, saw Markus returning once again to the main event scene. However, at this time Markus began showing signs of unstability. His personal issues were many, although he kept them well hidden from friends and co-workers. He soon had to leave the federation in an attempt to resolve these issues. When he tried to come back, Markus found the federation had closed it's doors. With that done, Markus hung up the name Zero, which he had used his entire WIW career. He decided to make a name for himself from then on, and not some moniker.

A few applications later, and Callisto Bane called him. Markus had a job with the DWO. A new fire was ignited in Markus, and he had a good deal of success with the federation. However, he also had a very hindering issue.
Injury
Markus' right knee was severely injured from years of in ring abuse. To be frank, he shouldn't have been wrestling in the first place. Markus pushed through the pain, with some help from a virtual pharmacy of painkillers, and steroid injections. These, however, also proved to be an undoing. The medications that he was taken took their toll on Markus' psyche, and made his depression/paranoia tenfold worse. It is a vicious disease that he still struggles with today. When Markus finally did take time to attempt surgery, his knee had degenerated so much that his only option was to have metal plates bonded to the bones in his knees.
It has been five years since then, and Markus has finally decided to step back into the ring. The knee is quite the hinderance to him, but it has also given him an additional weapon to use.
Markus' personality has changed drastically over the years, and the end result is a very bitter man. Markus has dealt with a plethora of tragedies and difficulties in his years, some of them stemming from his childhood. The full extant of his hardships is unknown even to his closest friends, as Markus has always denied help from any one. These days, however, Markus seeks to take the pain the he feels inside, and force others to endure the same hardships.
