Marcus Wier ''The Gambler''

Marcus "The Gambler" Weir appears in Need for Speed: Payback as a contact for jobs that Tyler Morgan undertakes, and is the owner of the Elysium Casino. He's known as "The Gambler" for one reason; he's a relentless risk-taker with a taste for impossible odds and long shot scenarios. His fortune has been built in the casinos of Silver Rock, having honed his craft through his wits and gut feelings alone.

Weir is obsessed with gambling, playing the odds, and weighing the probabilities; he knows only to look out for the next big gamble.

Having an overbearing presence in Fortune Valley, he takes command of any room he walks in because below his slick exterior he's navigating every odd and every encounter to tilt it in his favour.
