Is your cell comfortable enough, sweetheart?

Marcel Vanserra, Third Son of Autumn and Court Torturer for @nameless-acotar-weekend 🥀

So this is what I got for Marcel. I had so much more planned for the tattoos, but ultimately drawing it over and over again at different angles proved to be a nightmare.

More on Marcel Vanserra, Third Son of Autumn and resident psychopath:

• The only Vanserra brother to have inherited Beron’s brown eyes, though Marcel’s have an unusual paleness to them

• Conjures smoke instead of fire — extremely lethal to the senses. One touch is enough to cause burns, convulsions, and hallucinations. Breathing it in makes the body slowly rot from the inside

• Marcel is not immune to his own magic, so when torturing, he protects himself by wearing leather gloves and a mask

Marcel Vanserra’s leather mask and gloves are enforced by old Lesser Faerie magic to keep him safe from the lethal power of his smoke. They were a gift from Eris, who had spent weeks in the Day Court researching wards that might keep his younger brother from accidentally harming himself.

Eris had planned to gift them to Marcel on his fifteenth birthday. Two days before, Marcel had lost control of his smoke, causing a significant chunk of his right forearm to burn down to the bone. It was contained by a healer, though the lost skin and muscle the smoke had sizzled through were unfortunately irreparable due to his magic’s cruel will.

Eris still blames himself for that day.

Decided to sluttify Marcel’s mask a little and add more details!

Also gloveless hand reveal!

Thoroughly saddened to report Marcel Vanserra smokes in a Modern AU 😔

In a lucky twist of fate, smokewraith-assassin Nesta Archeron becomes the first person to ever attempt killing Beron Vanserra and escape unharmed. Now, the entire Guard chases after her, led by the one and only Autumn Court Heir. But Eris Vanserra doesn’t seek to punish — no, he wants to enlist her help.

Meet Marcel Vanserra, the Third Son of Autumn and the Court’s Torturer. Preferring to stay in the deep, dark dungeons beneath the Forest House, Marcel lives out his days doing the work Beron has deemed too dirty to stain his own hands with. Unlike his brother Sylas, though, Marcel doesn’t do his father’s bidding to please him — no, Marcel simply enjoys it.

His unique powers make the work all the more pleasing: instead of the blazing Vanserra fire, Marcel conjures a deadly, sizzling smoke that suffocates everything in its path. It only takes one inhale of Marcel’s smoke for your lungs to blacken in your chest — and oh, does he enjoy letting his victims breathe so freely.

@dusk-muse I hope you love Marcel, who I’ve had so much fun creating! I can’t wait for you to see my favorite little psychopath in action. You can view Part 2 of his Card & a close-up below!

Marcel Vanserra is my OC, please do not use him in any works. Thank you!
