- Marcel was born and raised in a small town outside of Kismet Harbor. However, his family relocated to town when his older brother was about to start high school. He was quick to adapt and fell in love with the place, and if it wasnāt for his noticeable sports talent, he likely would have ended up sticking around in town after he graduated from high school. - He ran with the popular crowd in high school, which was a given considering he was the quarterback on the football team. This naturally meant he got a lot of attention both on and off the field, something the at the time more insecure guy didnāt mind in the slightest. Although he dated throughout his high school years, nothing really stuck long term. - At least that was until he met Aarin. The two were an unlikely pair considering they wandered in different circles, but once he got to know her there was no keeping him away from her. Despite his strong feelings for her, he was very hesitant to take their relationship public and he kept sneaking around with her for a long time, but Ā eventually he came around. - During his senior year, he was approached by a few colleges for a full time scholarship. He ended up accepting the one to University of Michigan. - Despite being successful on the football field, Marcel would soon have his life flipped upside down after the family received a phone call informing them that his older brother, Logan, had lost his life in a car accident caused by his then girlfriend. Always having had a close relationship with his older brother, Marcel was devastated by the news, and had it not been for his family and Aarinās support, he likely would never have proceeded with going away for college and football. - After his final summer in Kismet Harbor, before he moved states to work in his dream and make his family and brother proud, Aarin and him decided to give long distance a shot. Marcel loved her and would not have gone if it had not been for her support in the time after loosing his brother. But long distance soon proved to be a lot harder than he had assumed it would be, especially considering he has never been the best at communicating, and towards the end of his first year in college, it ended. - After the relationship ended, Marcel dedicated himself entirely to football and his love for the sport, wanting to make his family proud. He remained focused, and as a result, he eventually managed to get into the NFL. He played for a variety of teams, eventually ending up playing for the Steelers. However, his career here was put on indefinite hold after her ended up in a bar fight, leaving one person injured. Even though Marcel himself was not responsible for the injury, it still reflected badly on his reputation as well as the club. - Therefore, the once successful football player packed up some of his things and decided to move back home to Kismet Harbor to be with his family and try reconnect with old friends. - The adjustment was hard in the beginning for Marcel, seeing football had been such a big part of his life for such a long time he was struggling for a while to adjust. It usually resulted in him ending up going out drinking, which was the last thing he should be doing. It wasnāt until he was asked to coach the high schools football team that felt like he had regained some purpose to his life. - Upon his return to town, he ended up running into Aarin. The two hadnāt spoken much since they ended things, so it was easy to say their relationship felt strained, which felt very weird to Marcel. However, it didnāt last long and the two eventually decided to give their relationship another shot. It felt as if a piece that had been missing felt back into place in his life.
When he in January 2024 ended up in the hospital shortly after letting injured during a severe storm and was paired with Aarinās father in the room, he asked for his blessing to ask for her hand in marriage. Luckily for him, he got a yes from the man who sadly passed away shortly after.
On Valentinesās day, February 14th 2024, Marcel dropped down onto one knee and proposed to his girlfriend after she won a date with him at the annual charity dating auction. It was slightly spontaneous, and on front of the entire town (naturally spiking a media frenzy). Luckily for him, she said yes, and the two are now living together in his mansion in Emerald Mist while working out the next steps in their lives together as a soon to be married couple.
