Marcus received his scars during his stay at the prison he was in, according to the wiki, but you never learn that in any of the games. There is a lot of information out there about the characters in the novels and comics that is canon and never hinted at at all in the actual game. Most of the new characters from Gears 2 and 3 were in the novels and comics before they were introduced into the games.
Gears not giving me a decent solution to everything really bummed me out.

RIP Dom, your death was pointless.  |
