Marcel (later the leader of the Dread Doctors) was a bar owner in 18th-century France and served as a soldier in the French military during the French and Indian War.
He later led a group of that mixed supernatural elements with pseudoscience to create chimera creatures.
Marcel only appears as fully human in the flashback episode Maid of Gevaudan (Episode).
History[]
Marcel was a loyal friend to Sebastien Valet. In a sign of his unrequited love, Marcel covered up Sebastian's murders. Marcel continued to cover for his friend after Sebastian became La Bête du Gévaudan and went on a murder spree across the French countryside.
After Sebastian's death, Marcel sought to combine science and supernatural forces in an attempt to bring his friend back to life.
Along with like-minded individuals, Marcel practiced at the fringes of pseudoscience and, over several decades, learned to harness electromagnetic forces, prolong his own life and manipulate the memories of anyone who crossed his path.
Dr. Valack, who encountered the doctors in Beacon Hills at some early point in his career, says Marcel and the others are not entirely human anymore.
