Marcel is a love interest in the book Theodora.

## About Marcel

Marcel is a researcher working on his PhD thesis in Theology. He and Theodora meet at the National Library in Paris when they both show interest in the same book. Marcel explains that he wants to write about demonology, a topic he's very enthusiastic about. He helps Theodora with her research and they start to enjoy each others company more and more. After witnessing a fight between Theodora's demon friend or lover John and Guardian Darius, Marcel learns about the existance of demons and shows an almost childlike excitement about being involved with them. He agrees to support them with his knowledge and becomes part of the group. Together, they all start to meet up at a secluded house in the woods where John trains Theodora to control her demonic energy.

Marcel comes across as a genuine person, honest with himself and those around him. After meeting Theodora again and inviting her to the Louvre, he shares that he was born in Paris and wouldn't wanna leave the city because living there feels like being "in his element". Marcel speaks a bit Portugese since his father is from Cape Verde, a place Marcel wants to visit eventually.
