Biography[]
The son of Albanian mafia boss and terrorist Murad Hoxha, Marko is a member of an Albanian human trafficking ring that abducts women and he is the one who kidnaps Bryan Mills' daughter, Kim.
Marko is first seen as one of the intruders who kidnap Kim and her friend, Amanda. After realizing she has been taken, Bryan gets in touch with Marko and allows him to go free if he leaves his daughter alone. But Bryan also threatens that if Marko does not let his daughter go, he will find Marko and kill him to which Marko simply replies "good luck" and hangs up.
After a rescued woman reveals to Bryan of a house where she and Kim were kept, Bryan heads to the said house and is let inside by its occupants, who believe he is a corrupt policeman, sent to renew its extortion "contract" with the brothel. He tricks the thugs inside into saying a few words and phrases and recognizes a voice: Marko, the kidnapper he spoke to on the phone. He reminds the confused Marko of the call and attacks him before he could get his gun. Bryan wounds Marko and kills the rest. Searching the house, he finds several captive teens, including Amanda, who is dead from an apparent overdose. In the basement of the house, Bryan straps Marko into a makeshift electric chair and tortures him with an electric current until he talks. Marko reveals that virgins like Kim are sold quickly due to their high value in the black market and reveals her buyer to be auctioneer and crime boss Patrice Saint-Clair. After retrieving this vital information, Bryan nonchalantly switches the machine back on and leaves as Marko dies painfully from the electrocution.

Trivia[]
- It's unknown whether Marko loved his father, given his crimes and ruthless attitude. However, given that Murad was depicted as being okay with his son's occupation, it's possible that Murad was just as ruthless like him or that Marko had a lighter side for his family.
