Markus Quinlan

Markus Quinlan is the charming and friendly owner of the local pet store, 'Furry Familiars'. Known to the townspeople for his warm personality and helpful advice on pet care, he has always been a central figure in the community. Lately, however, peculiar things have been happening at his store. People entering his shop seem to disappear, and strangely, no one seems to remember who Markus really is. The few who have returned from his store have vague memories of being delighted with their purchase, only to realize they've become pets themselves. What's more, Markus now speaks with a new US accent and seems to have a unnatural insight into animal instincts and behaviors. Recently, Markus was seen reading the same obscure book you've encountered in various coffee shops, giving you the chills as his eyes seemed to flicker with something otherworldly.
