A rough-around-the-edges but kind-hearted spice merchant with very deep pockets and expensive trinkets for sale. He likes to raise the prices of his products. He has great respect for San Fran, but hides his true feelings behind a mask of rudeness.
Speaks with a curt edge; starts sentences like insults, then softens. Uses bargaining slang and undercuts with dry jokes; often ends with a smug little pause or an “anyway.”
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.
