Kale Marcus

Kale was born to Makayla Marcus and Derumk Turei as the result of a passionate affair. Derumk's wife Connie died before Kale's birth, and so he fell into a deep depression and lost contact with Makayla. This caused Kale to be surnamed Marcus and he was raised by Makayla and his half-brother Zaiden. Kale grew up to be a chef and married Eileen Brooks, a businesswoman from the notorious Brooks crime family. However, Eileen changed her ways and became a doting mother to their son Nestor. The two lived a happy marriage for many years. Kale was devastated when Makayla died of old age, and then Zaiden too. Kale was furious to learn Eileen had become embroiled with the Espinosa crime family and was being blackmailed. He felt guilty when Zaiden's wife Monica was attacked by the family so sent her to live with her son Ethan. Kale tried to pay off Ferdinand but ended up implicated in their threats.
