Márcel

Name

Marcel Lightbane, formerly Marcel Goldenlight.

Appearance

Marcel is quite short, partially due to malnutrition growing up. He has a sort of boyish look about his facial features despite having died at 38 years old. His eyesockets are unnaturally large with bags under them and a large burn travels down his torso. He has wipsy blonde hair that doesn't really suit his chalky skin tone.

Personality

Quite neurotic and mentally unstable, Marcel is obsessed with power, protecting himself and abandoned the concept of morality a long time ago, instead going by his own twisted set of standards. Whilst he can be childish in his mannerisms at times he despises children, perhaps out of a strange sense of jealousy. Though he aims to become powerful and in control, he can easily be manipulated and bullied into serving others.

He quite literally cares for no one except himself, an old blanket and his deceased pet rat he keeps in a jar attached to a string around his neck, only being obsessed, in awe of or seeing another person as beneficial to him.

Guild

Church of Shadows. Has recently acquired leadership of it for the time being after Rowos contacted him mentally with his Shadow abilities to carry on with the sect shortly before his death. This is likely to change due to his unstable temperment and himself doubting his own potential leadership skills. He plans to eventually find someone more capable of fulfilling Rowos' word to pass the responsibility on to.

Occupation

None. Never really had a job.

Family

Agatha Goldenlight (Mother, deceased), Bernard Goldenlight (Father, deceased).

Background

Life

Marcel was homeless in Deathknell in his late teens and has recently arisen from the crypt in Deathknell. Some old records indicate he was under the care of a church in Tirisfal due to their pity and his lack of competence to care for himself, before being sent off to a prison for severely injuring a priestess to the point of disability and various animal cruelty charges that pointed to him. He spent quite some time there in solitary confinement due to fighting back a little too violently against inmates who saw his scrawnyness and sheer lack of social skills as sufficient reason to lower him down in the pecking order. He didn't seem to mind a severe lack of social interaction afterwards, seeing the fact he didn't have to hunt around for his next meal or endure violence from others as a decent life. Eventually he was released and continued with being homeless, having found something else to liven up his quality of life. Also suffered from hayfever.

Death

His reluctance to reveal much and relatively intact state after rising point to suspicious circumstances. States he rised from the crypt in Deathknell though his corpse wasn't present the day before.

Undeath

He personally changed his surname to Lightbane quite some time ago (Though there was no official process, just his word) due to his misguided hatred for the Light and took up the Forgotton Shadow religion upon finding the Forsaken.

Family Background

Marcel has no relatives he knows of except for his deceased parents. The Goldenlight family mainly kept to themselves to the point of seclusion. They ranged from middle to lower class and generally revered the Light.

Criminal Record

Breach of the peace by having a screaming fit, a minor fight in the Undercity.

Current Status

Neurotic and temporarily in charge of a guild.
