Marcel
Reputed Drug kingpin (Minister Advisor and “friend” of the Court)
The Elusive Overlord of Chicago's Heroin Underworld
Marcel is a shadowy figure rumored to control the heroin trade in Chicago. Over the past fifty years, he has attained a near-mythic status in the city's drug underworld, with his name whispered only in hushed tones among locals and his drug-addled followers.
His past, as well as his present activities remain cloaked in secrecy. His ties to the drug trade are elusive and meticulously hidden from both law enforcement and rivals, allowing him to avoid direct accusations. Once thought to have operated out of the Robert Taylor Homes in Bronzeville during the 1970s, it is now believed that his primary operations have shifted to the Riverdale area. There, he is said to navigate with impunity among the shadowy trap houses and concealed drug dens, guarded by local gang enforcers who protect these hidden realms from public scrutiny.
Despite his considerable influence, Marcel's public presence is nearly spectral. The only concrete evidence of his existence comes from occasional nightly sightings at a local Chinese restaurant where dines with a young Haitian teen named Deon. Marcel seems to have taken a fatherly interest in Deon, providing him with food, clothing, and money in exchange for running errands and keeping watch. The rare encounters suggest a multifaceted persona, blending the roles of a caring benefactor and a ruthless drug lord.
