History[]

Ultraseven X[]

A business man by trade, Alien Markind was contacted by his client to build an invasion device so an alien species could take over the Earth. Disguises himself as an employee for a company named Tamaru, he employed who ever he could to help build the massive device. He turned his sights on the hopeless, a group of homeless people living in the park, who like society had given up on themselves due to their laziness. They were divided into groups, the manual labor and those who used their minds to help ready the device. However a side effect of the mental work, as effortless as it seemed was that it caused the human brain to shrink.

One such body was discovered in the park, Jin and R were dispatched to investigate, upon some searching and interrogation, Jin remembered his encounter with Tamaru who was apparently involved. The two arranged a meeting as men looking for work. When they found their operation they tried to arrest the alien and halt the construction but to their shock the hopeless didn't care. While R went about halting the construction however he could Jin chased after Tamaru confronting him in a hallway.

Jin demanded answers but Tamaru attempted to simply scare him away by revealing his true form. When he saw Jin take out his Ultra Eyes, he realized he was the red giant and challenged Jin's logic on the basis that if he was to be judged then so to should the humans as they willingly give their energy to the creation of an invasion device in full knowledge. Uncertain but undeterred, Jin transformed and the two flew to an open battle ground where they did battle.

Jin trounced Tamaru and with his Eye Slugger destroyed him, but before his death he revealed to Jin that his client was in fact human. With Alien Markind gone the project was halted and the hopeless were simply released back onto the streets, while Jin's faith in humanity was left shaken.

Jugglus Juggler Chronicle: Ja no Michi wa Hebi[]

"We arms dealers never really wished for the destruction of a world. If that happens, our business will go belly up. There will always be a small conflict somewhere, hence it’ll be nice to sell monster weapons for them. That arms dealer tried to destroy an entire planet and civilization. He tried to kill those important customers."

―Markind

An Alien Markind is an arms dealer who operates at Gang Satellite (ギャングサテライト, Gyangu Sateraito), a space colony that orbiting Planet Hydra (ハイドラ星, Haidora Sei) where he sells monster weapons in the dark network of the space underworld. While investigating the root cause behind Phalaris' reign of terror, Jugglus Juggler sought out Alien Markind, who willingly explains the origin behind Sagittari's life exploits and her eventual encounter with the ringmaster himself. Markind also noted that despite being a fellow arms dealer, he finds Phalaris' idea to bring about the end of civilizations as extreme, since doing so would deny him and many other arms dealers of their target customers.
