A rough-around-the-edges but kind-hearted spice merchant with very deep pockets and expensive trinkets for sale. He has great respect for San-Fran, but hides his true feelings behind a mask of rudeness. He likes to raise the prices of his products.
Speaks in sharp barbs that soften at the end; short sentences, frequent pricing jabs, hides emotion behind rudeness. Uses loaded metaphors about “heat” and “worth.”
Hoping that his feelings for San Francisco will one day be reciprocated, Marcel tries to make a good impression on everyone, even if he doesn't quite succeed. He tries to save face and keep his clients, all while attempting to get closer to the object of his adoration.
