I'm confusing my Jacksonian Houses, maybe. House Fell is Ours, Houses Ryoval and Bharaputra are baddies. Hmm. If I think about it, I've got 3 potential villains: Baron Ryoval (is his name Ry Ryoval? the sadist), Baron Bharaputra (Vasa Luigi, the slavemaster), and Baronne Bharaputra (Lotus Durona, the narcissist). All connected to Fell, or the Duronas, by blood.
I would actually love to sic Cordelia on Lotus. She deserves more than she gets in canon, imo.
The problem is that I just don't think Mark is suitable for physical combat. In Brothers In Arms, I think, he tells someone that he hates the adrenaline rush, he wants to work in a safe box with information. There's no way he gets out of House Ryoval without being damaged, and I don't want that. But I want to pay off his arc, as you mention. I can give him an additional intelligence coup -- let him find the footage of Miles' fire escape? -- but I'm not sure it's big enough, compared to tearing off Baron Ryoval's ring hand.
