Talk:Zhukov/@comment-30186325-20161009212738/@comment-4035211-20161011191812

AMA with Adam Christopher (https://www.reddit.com/r/dishonored/comments/56zdra/i_am_adam_christopher_novelist_and_comic_writer/) confirms that Zhukov is not marked. He also says his mark doesn't glow because Zhukov carved it himself. I think when Zhukov describes learning his powers he implied carving his own flesh was unsuccessful. As such, I think it's reasonable to assume that Zhukov's mark holds no actual power.

EDIT: Reading the specific comment more carefully, Christopher says that Zhukov is "...is not [marked]. He just thinks he is!" So I'd argue he shouldn't be on the list of people marked by the Outsider. He basically just has a tattoo of the Mark.

FURTHER EDIT: New answers confirm that Zhukov's powers come from his bone charms, and not his Mark. Furthermore his knowledge comes from the knife that was used to create the Outsider, but not the Outsider directly.
