Mark (i assume Marc is the same) means Mars the God not the planet
though at one time they were thought to be the same thing. Of course
Mars being the "God" of war and a wolf often used symbolically by
warriors the combination of Marc and Wolf seems symbolically
appropriate.

However much Mr. Wolfe's character may or may not be in alignment with
such sentiments.

The "greatly honoured grocer" "Mahatma Gandhi" could not have had a more
prosaic name while being one of the more dynamic and "militant"
personages of history. For all his pacifism (& prosaic name) he
inspired and led a militant struggle for freedom.
