Markus William "Mark" Summerset[2] is a resident of Vault 81 in the Commonwealth in 2287.
Background[]
Mark is an elderly resident of the Vault, running the Sunshine Diner[3] with his wife, Maria, whom he has been married to for over forty years.[2] However, Mark's help at the canteen mostly consists of taste testing,[4] and he occasionally attempts to slyly procure more food from his wife, which leads to playful banter between the two of them.[2] Mark believes that the people of Vault 81 are overworked, and, like his wife, he sympathizes with Overseer Gwen McNamara, as she is often blamed for the problems in the Vault.[5] He is saddened that most of Vault 81's residents are not interested in helping with the diner, and are more focused on other repairs, but his wife is optimistic that Austin Engill will take the reigns one day.[6] Although he appreciates a good sense of humor,[7] Mark does not tolerate disrespect of one's elders.[8]

- ↑ The Sole Survivor: "Is it hard work feeding everyone here?"
Maria Summerset: "It used to be easier. Back when I was young we had more supplies than we could count. Why, my mother taught me some recipes that had ingredients that... Well, I doubt you could find them anywhere anymore. Since we started trading, we manage well enough, but the variety... Let's just say it's more than a bit lacking."
(Maria Summerset's dialogue) - ↑ 2.0 2.1 2.2 Mark Summerset: "You whippin' up a new batch of pies today? I heard Alexis promise one to Erin, and I know how you hate to disappoint the little ones."
Maria Summerset: "Markus William Summerset. Don't you go on thinking you're so clever. Those pies are going to be for Calvin and his crew. Lord knows they could use a treat right now."
Mark Summerset: "Hey, you try telling that to Erin and breaking a little girl's heart. I didn't realize my wife was so cold blooded."
Maria Summerset: "Mark, I swear. Over forty years of marriage, you need to count your blessings you're still alive."
(Maria and Mark Summerset's dialogue) - ↑ Mark Summerset: "Hungry? Sunshine Diner opens in the morning. Maria'll get you squared away."
(Mark Summerset's dialogue) - ↑ The Sole Survivor: "Do you run this place by yourself?"
Maria Summerset: "Heavens no, I'd be a wreck. My husband, Mark. He helps me, though mostly with the tasting."
(Maria Summerset's dialogue) - ↑ Mark Summerset: "The people here, they're a bit overworked these days. Some blame the Overseer, but it ain't Gwennie's fault. Poor girl just landed the right position at the wrong time."
The Sole Survivor: "What's going on? Why are people so overworked?"
Mark Summerset: "Well, you live in the same place for 200 years, time just takes its toll. Until the Overseer opened the Vault to traders, we were just slapping on one band-aid after the next. Now we're just scramblin' to keep ol' 81 together."
(Mark Summerset's dialogue) - ↑ Mark Summerset: "I'm getting too old for this job."
Maria Summerset: "Mark, you were too old for it a decade ago. I keep telling you we need to get some help. Younger help."
Mark Summerset: "They don't just grow on trees you know. Nobody in the Vault wants to help run this place."
Maria Summerset: "Patience, old man. We'll find someone. I still think Austin might want it when he grows up. The boy certainly eats enough."
(Maria and Mark Summerset's dialogue) - ↑ The Sole Survivor: "I'm afraid that information's classified, sir. If I told you, I'd have to kill you."
Mark Summerset: "Ha! Gwennie let in a good one. That sense of humor is just what this Vault needs."
(Mark Summerset's dialogue) - ↑ The Sole Survivor: "Back off grandpa. I don't have time for you.'
Mark Summerset: "Watch your tongue, young man/lady. You should treat your elders with more respect."
