Thanks. Just something I came up with, imagining a young Marcone. I wish I had the time these days for writing, because I like the idea of a Marcone origin story.
Kindler:
I think the Three-Eye Drug (Third Eye? I can never remember) that started flooding the streets baffled Marcone's street level guys, and they had to start looking into it. They realized that there was something fundamentally different about it that made it greater than the sum of its parts, and Marcone had some of his guys (like Spike) start looking into magic in general.
It could also have been part of his recon into SI that he saw through some of their more creative reports.
Then, after Fool Moon, he realized that he was being targeting by supernatural elements that he couldn't do a damn thing about with guys with guns, so he reached out to Monoc Securities and started getting real lessons.

I don't know. He was very cool headed about the soulgaze. And Harry's soulgaze apparently creeps everyone out. So Marcone not only wasn't surprised that it could happen, but wasn't alarmed by the chaos he likely saw.

I thought Three-Eye was on the streets for months before Storm Front, but I could be wrong.
Monica Sells say Victor started using magic when her son, Billy, was around four. Billy is described as a year or two younger than his sister, who is "on the gawky end of preadolescence," around 11 or twelve. So Billy is about nine in Storm Front, which means Victor started looking into magic about five years previous. I'd estimate it took him a couple of years to develop Three-Eye, and maybe worked on it for about a year or two more before he found the Beckitts and ramped up production.
I'd say about six months since the cops started noticing Three-Eye, maybe a year since it was sold on the street at a significant level. Plenty of time to do adequate research, in my opinion.
Still, it's fun to think about Marcone facing down a nest of vampires or something as a lad.
Rasins:
I think Bony Tony coming to him and giving him the "pick of the litter" from Sirothrax's hord was his first encounter with the Supernatural world.
We know that Bony Tony did that. We just don't know when.
We know that Marcone recognized that the killing of Jenny Stanton and Tommy Tomm as being supernatural, by Marcone wanting to pick up Harry and hire him to do nothing.
We know that Marcone recognizes that the Three-eye is made through magical means, he just can't find the guy because the guy (Victor Sells/Shadowman) terrifies his distributors.
Didn't Marcone point Harry at Harley MacFinn? If he did, then he probably knew Harley's secret.
