> Mervin, Victim 5 Interview

**Mervin Marshall** is a teased character and the father of Jonah Marshall. He is shown in two "teasers", one of them facing a MCPD camera, and the other interviewing a "Victim 5"; a victim of 6.

A third "teaser" has been leaked to the public via Twitter thanks to a renown user in the community, who has been seemingly receiving messages from Alex about Volume 333, revealing that not only is he Jonah's father, but he is also married to a woman named Patricia. Mervin is also said to have a "live-action confession" scene, which script has been leaked through unknown means.

Not much is known about Mervin besides these small rudimentary facts.

## Live-Action Leaked Confession Script

"Hello...? Is-Is this thing on? ... This is Mervin Marshall, I work as a lawyer in Bythorne County. Some of you may recognize me from the... 'incident' in Mandela County back in '93... What was it, again? 'Local father goes on rampage after child-snatching incident'?... I'm here to say, that I regret nothing about it. I just... loved to see those *things* have a taste of their own medicine. It's funny, kind of; I've seen people saying that the announcements were lies, that they're immune to bullets, or something like that... Well, that afternoon I proved the world that they're not. That the unstoppable forces of nature that were the Alternates are not that unstoppable after all... After the Mandela County Police Department relocated me to Bythorne, I couldn't help to wonder why... Why they'd let so many of these things just roam around the streets, killing the helpless... Then the rumours of them hiding information from that *Thing*, the thing that tried to steal my boy, the thing that killed my wife, had come to surface. That's when I realized that they aren't on humanity's side... That's why I founded the Bythorne Paranormal Society! [...] After I saw that *Thing* trying to steal Jonah as Patricia hanged from the roof, when I realized that I wasn't the only one who had gone through that, when I realized that the MCPD won't do SH\*T about it, I knew that something had to be done!..."

## Speculation

* The role the fifth Victim which Mervin is seen interviewing in one of the teasers is currently unknown, although some believe that this victim is none other than Thatcher Davis after an unfortunate encounter with Six.
	+ Others believe that this fifth Victim is an entirely new character, which Mervin is interviewing to find about his son's whereabouts after the ending of The Mandela Catalogue Vol. 2.
* Due to being a clear allusion to the *Breaking Bad* character, Saul Goodman, and his similarities in physical appearance with 6, people have started to theorize that these two are one and the same; The theory claims that Jonah is one of the kidnapped kids, whom the Intruder is trying to manipulate into joining him and Adam by posing as his father. Due to the Intruder not being able to shapeshift as someone that hasn't been shown in the medium he's possessing, it's assumed he took the appearance of Saul Goodman by mere coincidence.

## Trivia

* The usage of Bob Odenkirk's appearance for Mervin Marshall was originally a placeholder referencing Saul Goodman from the 2009 TV series *Breaking Bad*. However, this placeholder grew fonder in Alex's heart as the Patreons in the server seemed to like it as it is.
	+ Due to the rise of *Breaking Bad* inspired memes, as well as the sixth and final season of it's spin-off show, *Better Call Saul*, being aired around the same time as the teaser, Mervin has become a meme in the community as a whole.
