Mark Edward Fischbach (born June 28, 1989), better known by his online pseudonym Markiplier, is an American YouTube personality. Originally from Honolulu, Hawaii, He began his career in Cincinnati, Ohio, and is currently based in Los Angeles, California.

As of January 2017, his channel has over 16.1 million subscribers, over 6.3 billion total video views, and is the 20th most subscribed channel on YouTube. Fischbach specializes in Let's Play gameplay commentary videos and indie games, commonly of survival horror and action video games.

Fischbach was born at the Tripler Army Medical Center in Honolulu, Hawaii. His father served in the military, where he met Fischbach's mother, who is of Korean descent. His family moved to Cincinnati, Ohio. Originally, Fischbach studied to become a biomedical engineer at the University of Cincinnati, but dropped out of college to pursue his YouTube career. He has one older brother, Jason Thomas Fischbach, who is an artist and author of the webcomic Twokinds.

Markiplier is known for his overactive style, such as yelling, screaming, cursing, and even crying during games. In his gameplay of Five Nights at Freddy's, Amnesia: The Dark Descent, and Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs, he is known for reacting to the slightest thing. He often subtitles his curses as "duck" (sometimes "luck") for "fuck" and "itch" for "bitch" even though he does not censor his profanity. He is known for branding his channel with a pink mustache (a reference to his alter ego, Wilford Warfstache) and has since dyed his hair pink, blue, and red. He is also known for being devoted to his fans; he often makes vlogs to talk one-on-one with the community about various topics, many inspirational, or about updates on trips or conventions. He regularly attends conventions including PAX, VidCon, and ComicCon, where he engages in signings, meet and greets, and panels. He has also been involved in Make-A-Wish Foundation to meet fans.
