Marcel Lafayette

Marcel Lafayette, a character in the Bloodbound series, is a member of the French Monarchy and one of Kamilah Sayeed and Gaius Augustine's allies. He makes his first official appearance in Book 1, Chapter 9, however, Your Character is able to see him in a flashback in Chapter 5.

Appearance
Marcel has ginger red hair, amber-colored eyes and pale skin with a bit of redness on his cheeks. He physically appears to be a twelve year old boy due to being a vampire. He wears a 17th century green formal attire.

Kamilah Sayeed
During the second fragment of the Portrait, he fought alongside Kamilah and remained close friends with her. When there was an attack at his castle, she was devastated.

Powers and Abilities

 * Immortality: In Book 1, Chapter 2, Adrian confirms that he does not age. Thus we can assume the same can be said for Marcel.
 * Super-Strength: In Book 1, Chapter 2, Adrian confirms that he is strong enough to lift a car. Thus we can assume the same can be said for Marcel.
 * Healing Factor:: Accelerated healing is an ability that vampires possess that allows them to heal from physical injuries at supernatural speeds. If a vampire uses their blood such as when Adrian was done feeding on Nicole, they can heal the bite mark as well. Thus we can assume the same can be said for Marcel.
 * Heightened Senses: In Book 1, Chapter 6, Lily mentions how she can feel the slightest air currents, how she can even see the tiniest pores in Your Character's skin and can hear the water running through the pipes three stories up. Thus we can assume the same can be said for Marcel.

Weaknesses

 * Sunlight: Sunlight are one of vampires' weaknesses. As Adrian stated, sunlight does hurt him describing it as painful and will be fatal if exposed to it within a half an hour or so. It's akin hypersensitivity or accelerated heat stroke. This same weakness can be assumed for Marcel.
 * Decapitation: Dismembering or manually removing the head of a vampire will result in instant and permanent death.
 * Heart Extraction: Removing and subsequently destroying the heart of a vampire will also result in permanent death.
 * Unquenched Bloodlust: When Adrian first became a vampire, he felt the powerful thirst for blood which no amount of water can relieve. In the brief period where he resisted the urge, Adrian experienced severe discomfort whereby he eventually gave in to his instincts. It is unknown yet how long a vampire can remain thirsty or what the extent of pain is when this need is unmet. In Chapter 4, Jax stated that child vampires are tricky. They don't have self-control to feed on humans without draining them.
 * A Feral's Bite: A bite from a feral vampire is infectious to regular vampires because it can turn them feral too.

Trivia

 * Marcel bares a resemblance to Lestat de Lioncourt (portrayed by Tom Cruise) and Louis de Pointe du Lac (portrayed by Brad Pitt) from the 1994 film Interview with the Vampire; based on the book of the same name by Anne Rice.
 * As of Book 1, Chapter 5, the Bloodbound Universe now has two vampire children (the other being Lula Jacobs).
 * In Book 1, Chapter 2, Adrian mentions that garlic gives him a minor distaste, rather than kill him. This in turn means that it is not a real weakness for vampires as a whole and we can assume Marcel has a similar distaste for it.
