Marco is a special operative of the GSG-9. He is only seen in the Condition Zero: Deleted Scenes mission Motorcade Assault.

Overview

Motorcade Assault

Marco is one of the riflemen in the assault team, the other being his Commander and the player. They are holding M72 LAW rocket launchers on standby. He then holds his position to eliminate the resistance. After the firefight, the Commander orders Marco to stay put, holding on to keep the enemy pinned down. It will remain a mystery the final status of Marco, if Valve Corporation or Ritual Entertainment will not release full story. The hypotheses are:

• Marco in reality is still on the bridge, but the developers forgot to put him on the bridge when the player is in the streets.
• Marco is one of the three operatives on the bridge when you kill the VIP, Hans Dietrich.
• Marco leaved the bridge to reach the commander (but never appeared again).
• Marco is one of the two operatives on the boat at the end.
• Marco could be killed by some terrorists when he was on the bridge.

The Assault Team

• The Commander (unknown status)
• Marco (unknown status; there are many hypothesis on him).
• The player
• Karl (deceased for a script at the start)

Trivia

• Marco cannot be killed, even if the player shoots him or does not assist Marco to kill enemies. He appears to have unlimited health although he will still be stunned by gunfire.
• Marco's only sure appearance was only in the firefight.
• He and the Commander are equipped with M4A1 rifles.
• Despite the commander ordering Marco to stay down, he cannot be found when the player is at the streets. He may have left alongside with the commander, though it is likely the developer team forgot to include him in a later encounter.

The three operatives on the bridge. If you use noclip and go to the bridge, they can follow you and interact with you. They can even kill enemies.

The two operatives at the end. One of the two GSG-9 can be Marco, that lost the M4A1 and remain only with an USP. The other could be Marco that lost the M4A1 and take an MP5, or he still has M4A1 but uses the MP5 instead.
