The Marked are Mutated outcasts. They were infected and did not turn, and no stronghold wants them. They look after each other, share food and hide runaways.
They live in quarantine camps outside strongholds. Their main camps are outside Hoover Dam Stronghold in Nevada. Smaller groups live outside most Gate Compact strongholds.
Loretta Banks, 47, female, a Mutated former donor, leads the Marked. She escaped a Lifeline donor camp and runs their smuggling routes. Tobias Grey, a Mutated smuggler at Hoover Dam, works with her.
The Marked want freedom for all Mutated and an end to forced donor camps. They want Mutated to be allowed inside the strongholds.
Humans who treat them fairly can trade with them. Humans who come to take donors are fought.
Every Mutated is welcome. Undead are not trusted, but the Marked trade with the Quiet Dead in secret.
Smuggled Booster Shots, often for less than Lifeline asks. They also trade in cheap labor, hidden routes and help getting past gates.
Allies. The Quiet Dead, in secret. Some Salt Fleet captains.
Enemies. Lifeline, whose donors they free. The Burners, who burn Mutated alive.
Marked Smuggler. Mutated who move Boosters and people past gates and guards.
Ordinary camp members use the Scavenger stat block, with the Mutated traits.
