I never thought that the magic granted by the Outsider via marking people drives them insane, with Granny Rags being the exception, maybe. The others seem pretty sane to me. Ambitious, but not mad.

What really seems to have a tendency to drive people mad or bring misfortunes, are runes, especially in the hands of unmarked individuals. We have the Mad Survivor, the author of this note seems kinda possessed by a rune as well, and this one suggests at least one individual who suffered misfortune from a rune.
