## Appearances

### Debut

The Popcentrale disaster of 2018

When it comes to background information Les Marquis is the most mysterious member of the traveling psychoward, which is kind of an advantage because there would be no way to fit 343 years worth of information on this page.

For undisclosed reason's Les Marquis has to murder at least one person per year to maintain his existence, and over the years he has been very creative in doing so.

We do know that for that reason he has done army service during the War of the Spanish Succession, the French and Indian War, the French revolutionary wars, the Napoleon wars and so the Battle of Waterloo, World war I, World war II and after being sick of warfare, at last The Vietnam war (fighting for the viet-cong) as a retirement, and off course for smoking the Vietnamese pot and the underground party's.

He is to this day still a suspect on the ''Jack the ripper'' list (all tough not publicly, because the makers of the list feared retributions), was seen on the Titanic disaster of 1912 in uniform behind the ships captain and used to play poker with Jimmy Hoffa every Tuesday night before he disappeared.

He also used to hang out with the grandsons of Christman Genipperteinga, The Harpe Brothers, Bram Stoker (and allegedly helped him with his book), Edgar Allan Poe, Bonny and Clide, Al Capone, Ed Gein, Charles Manson and Sugar lee hooper.

**Joining FAMOUS MONSTERS, The Traveling Psycho Ward**

After century's of killing, drumming and roaming around the earth Les Marquis had bought a tomb in underground Paris to live in, including a stone coffin that contained his bed. One night in early 2017 a few Dutch archaeologists found him in his tomb in France. He had a huge hangover from the night before, so he didn't wake up until the whole crew brought him back to the Abraham Stoker hospital in Amsterdam, where they planned on doing some research on him. They found several parts of the crew spread as decoration on the walls, and a grumpy Le Marquis asking for room service. They did give him a room though. In the state psych ward.

   Shortly after his arrival he was immediately asked by Kev Insane to join his re-integration project band ''FAMOUS MONSTERS'', as the band was only shy of a drummer on that point to which Les Marquis agreed to join the group. He debuted with the group during The Popcentrale disaster of 2018. This event would go down in history as a show that went so horribly south (mostly because of Doctor Dent) that he threatened to not only leave the group if the next show would be on the same level, but also pick a fellow band member as his annual murder. The next show (Rotterdam zombiewalk afterparty with TIMBERWÜLF) did work out for the better, and till this day Les Marquis did not miss one show.

After the show at CAPSLOC and the departing of Mooror and TIMBERWÜLF the band was left with no guitarist and got locked up once again after playing privileges were suspended.The remaining group secretly started planning a escape. After the escape, seeking refuse in the warehouse, the arrival of Cleaving Cleatus and Papa ven Geance and breaking in on the escape item on DDN news with the rest of the group Le Marquis maintained his role as drummer of the new group, THE TRAVELING PSYCHO WARD. During the Britain break out tour les marquis killed an airport security guard for forcing him to walk trough an entire airport and go back trough customs in order to smoke a cigarette. He mostly stays out of non musical adventures, but was present during '' A very special acoustic session'' to throw Doctor Dent into the harbor of Rotterdam. After the break out of the worldwide corona pandemic Le Marquis produced and posted several drum covers on the bands YouTube channel.

On June 9th 2021 the band released message on facebook with a picture of everybody (without Le Marquis) hanging out on Cleaving Cleatus's BBQ party's in Tennessee, USA combined with a search warrant for a new drummer and keyboard player the next day. It was also confirmed that Le Marquis was no longer playing for the group.

**Personality**

So far very little of his personality is known. Loves killing human beings almost as much as he loves to be good towards animals. Loved to try out toxic formulas with Pripjat Pete and is very said to miss his buddy. Speaks with a very French accent. A very good an energetic drummer with a black sense of humor.
