The Black Marker is suspected to be a Marker initially produced by a Brethren Moon. The Brethren Moons perpetuate the Marker signals and scatter these objects across the galaxy, seeding planets capable of supporting advanced life where the Markers will actually manipulate the development of intelligent life in order to produce a species capable of recreating the Markers. The ultimate purpose of the Marker is to gather enough dead biomass to trigger Convergence, the final stage of the Necromorph life cycle in which all Necromorph tissue is fused together into a single moon-sized form called a Brethren Moon. In such incidents, Marker-touched individuals have committed barbaric acts of murder and even suicide as the Marker urges its victims to provide it with dead flesh to convert into Necromorphs. Such symptoms have typically culminated in acts of extreme violence among groups of humans that have fallen victim to the Marker's manipulations. Humans that have been in proximity to a Marker have been known to experience symptoms of severe depression, paranoia and ultimately dementia. The Marker also has a significant effect upon the minds of sentient life-forms. The purpose of the Necromorphs is to spread and create new dead tissue for the Marker to manipulate by killing all living creatures around it. Necrotic tissue caught within the Marker's "dead space" radius is reanimated and reshaped to suit the Marker's own purposes, indicating that the artifact itself may be intelligent in some way. How it generates this signal remains a mystery as the Markers are constructed out of seemingly inert, non-reactive materials, but the evidence of their activity is all too clear. While the Marker may appear to be a mere statue, it generates a form of signal that reanimates dead organic tissue around it, thus creating Necromorphs.
