Contents

Mark Bandit is a raccoon and one of the three victims of serial killer Orin Draftwell (The Cartographer) in We Can Fix Pawbert. A hospital administrator, Bandit is murdered approximately two weeks before the events of S02E11 "The Cartographer" for his alleged role in covering up a surgical error that resulted in a patient's death.

Background

Mark Bandit worked as a hospital administrator in Zootopia. At some point prior to his death, he was involved in an incident where a surgical error at his facility resulted in a patient's death. An internal review found no wrongdoing.

Series History

Season 2

S02E11 "The Cartographer"

Bandit is identified as the second of the Cartographer's three victims during the BAU briefing. His body was found two weeks prior to Cedric Damm's murder, dumped at another old Lynxley operational site โ€” a pattern that connects all three killings.

Emily Prentiss names the three victims at the evidence board, most recent first, and Spencer Reid supplies the victimology: Bandit was a hospital administrator who covered up a surgical error that resulted in one death, and the internal review found no wrongdoing.

The thread Reid draws across all three is the same one that defines the case. Each victim was involved in a scandal or failure that resulted in civilian deaths, and each was cleared by an official investigation. The Cartographer targeted mammals he believed escaped justice, regardless of whether the official findings were correct.

Connection to the Case

Bandit's murder, along with those of Cedric Damm and Fawnley Creighton, establishes the pattern that leads the investigation to Orin Draftwell. The victims themselves have no connection to the Lynxley family; the dump sites do. Those sites are all old Lynxley operational locations, which triggers ZSI's involvement and raises initial concerns about a connection to the Clawrence investigation, though the BAU ultimately determines the cases are separate.

Draftwell's workshop, when it is found, has photographs of victims past and future pinned among floor-to-ceiling infrastructure maps, names circled in red beside dates no court ever filed. Arrested in the middle of it, Draftwell rejects the word murder and calls the killings correction, describing his victims as flaws in the city's system.
