It is the law of every group project that there has to be at the very least one member who actually takes what they're doing seriously, otherwise the whole venture just collapses into utter chaos. Mark didn't 'volunteer' for this role as such, but with the mess of recklessness, emotions, hormones and poor decision making going on around him on a constant basis he has resigned himself to having zero choice in the matter. On any given day he will always be the one keeping an eye out for danger, barking orders, keeping everybody else alive or just standing there with his head in his hands. Protecting the world was never such a strain on the mental state.
That's not to say he's ungrateful or doesn't appreciate his new life as a tamer; if you dig a little deeper there is a sense of wonder and fascination in him, much like his brother years before. It's just usually covered by an overly serious and dutiful sense that can make him overbearing at times. He has a short temper, can be overly demanding, and his attempts not to let his emotions distract him from the task at hand can lead to him being closed off and dismissive of others' concerns. It's all from a sincere place; he wants the tamers to be the best they can be, but when life is already so goddamn messy it can lead to him being incredibly hard on them, and even harder on himself.
Mark can be prickly, cold, and often a hard man to like; a fact of which he is incredibly aware. But when it comes down to it, he is forever reliable and never lets up on getting the job done. The tamers are all the stronger for his influence and dedication, and no matter how much they may all butt heads together, he will always be a valued part of the team.
