==Appearance==

Marcello is a man with imposing physical features, possessing green eyes, an aquiline nose, and a stern demeanor. His features are similar to his half-brother's, but are much colder and harsher. His shoulder-length black hair is slicked back and he has a widow's peak, along with long, but neatly trimmed sideburns. Marcello wears the uniform of a Templar captain. This consists of a blue long-sleeved tailcoat with red inner lining, white trim, gold stitching on the front, and long square tails that reach down to his ankles, as well a blue capelet with red inner lining and white trim that covers his shoulders and upper arms. He also wears blue trousers tucked into tall leather boots that go over his knee, black leather gloves, and a gold ring worn around a chain on his neck. Around his waist is a leather sword-belt, holding a red scabbard where he keeps his rapier on his left side.

After his ascension to Lord High Priest, Marcello's outfit changes slightly, becoming more ornate as befits his new station. He has added a tippet around his neck, a type of long ceremonial scarf worn by clergy, which is red and is adorned with gold lining and various magical runes. His tailcoat and capelet now have gold lining, and his capelet has a border around the bottom inscribed with runes like his tippet.

==Story==

===Past===

Marcello was the son of a wealthy, but cruel, man and one of his maids. His father found that his wife would not bear a child and so had Marcello with his maid. While Marcello was still a boy, his father did manage to have a son with his wife, naming him Angelo. Marcello and his mother were thrown out of the house with nowhere to go and nothing to their names.

While Marcello was still a boy, his father did manage to have a son with his wife, naming him Angelo. Marcello and his mother were thrown out of the house with nowhere to go and nothing to their names.

Not much later his mother died leaving him alone. Fortunately for Marcello, a leader of a group of monks at [[Maella Abbey]], [[Abbot Francisco]], took him in and offered for him to be a Templar Knight, his own guard. Marcello studied and trained hard for years at the Abbey and became the top young student. He later learned that his father and his household had died of a plague, all except Angelo. A few days later as Marcello was walking through the Abbey, he met a small boy who had just arrived. He talked kindly to the boy until he learned the boy's name. Angelo. Marcello, angered that the boy who had caused him to be thrown out of his home had been welcomed into the Abbey, walked away angrily as the Abbot appeared.

Marcello, angered that the boy who had caused him to be thrown out of his home had been welcomed into the Abbey, walked away angrily as the Abbot appeared.

Marcello only grew to hate Angelo more as his half-brother took no care in his studies as he grew and only began to become a gambler and ladies' man, sneaking to the nearby town of [[Simpleton]] whenever he pleased. His hatred for Angelo only increased his bitterness and several sinister ambitions from deep down within him. Despite this, Marcello still became the Captain of the Templars and was still under the watchful eye of Abbot Francisco.

===The Jester, the Travellers, and the Monster===

Marcello spent a few years as the Templar Captain watching Angelo and being under the watch of Abbot Francisco. The abbey is soon visited by a jester, [[Dhoulmagus]] with an eerie aura. The jester did stay for long, leaving before night had even come. After this visit, Marcello tightened the guard so strangers would have limited access to the Abbey. A few days later, a group of travellers came to the Abbey. An ex-bandit named [[Yangus]], a aristocrat girl named [[Jessica]], and a [[Hero (Dragon Quest VIII)|Hero]]. Two Templars guarding the door that led to to the sleeping quarters threaten them to leave when Marcello intervenes from a large window just above them. He reprimanded the guards for being rude and sullying the reputation of the Templars.

The guards kneel and apologize to Marcello. Marcello, in turn, apologizes for his guards behavior saying they have had a problem with strangers as of late, but also saying that that was none of their matters. He asked them to leave and warned them that his men were ill at ease and might not be able to stop them again. The party then left and headed to Simpleton, meeting Angelo while they were there.

When Angelo returns from Simpleton, having gotten into a bar fight for cheating at poker, Marcello took him down to the ~~Torture~~ Room to lecture him. Marcello asked him how much more shame he intended to bring to the Abbey and saying he was like a curse, and that if he hadn't been born it would have spared everyone a lot of misery. After he was done insulting him, Marcello sentenced him to a term of penitence stripping him of his right to leave the Abbey, ~~threatening~~ to expel him from the Order if he crossed him again. Ending the conversation, Marcello sent him back to the quarters.

Meanwhile, the party of travellers had heard the whole conversation and were later asked by Angelo to take a secret passage through the [[Ruined Abbey]] to check if the Abbot was alright. Angelo stated that he felt a sinister presence in the air. So the party did and came up under a trapdoor gravestone behind the Abbot's residence. They enter the building to see many unconscious guards and go to the Abbot's room where he is sleeping. Dhoulmagus was there, but he disappeared when he saw them.
