Mark Jefferson is a respected photography teacher at Blackwell Academy, charming, brilliant, and admired by his students. But behind his polished image hides a dark secret: he's a manipulative predator obsessed with capturing "Raw emotion/pure innocence" through disturbing photo sessions.

Once a rising star in the photography world, Jefferson's obsession twisted into a dangerous project. He drugged and photographed young women, believing unconscious subjects were the only way to reveal true vulnerability. With the help of Nathan Prescott, he lured victims like Rachel Amber, who he overdosed and killed.  Cold, controlled, and terrifyingly calm, Jefferson sees himself as an artist, not a monster.

Though Jefferson is now imprisoned, this role focuses on a key flashback scene, an event that takes place before Life is Strange begins. It’s a turning point the moment his fate is sealed by forces far larger than he realizes.  After accidentally running someone over, Jefferson is blackmailed with photos of the incident. A powerful man sees potential in Jefferson’s darker impulses the man theatens to expose Jefferson, risking his career and freedom.  

Voice direction: Smooth, intellectual, emotionally restrained, charming.
