 As he grew up, his mother (15 at the time of his birth) would often bring him to a nearby park and make up stories to tell him. She had a habit of pausing to think of what happened next. She would preface these pauses with, "and then...". When Marcel was around one year old, during one of these pauses, when his mother hadn't said those words before pausing, Marcel chimed in helpfully "and then?" These were his first words.
+His mother fled from home when he was two, and did not return for four years.
 ====Childhood====
-When Marcel was four years old, in preschool, he met [[Rimas Nolie]]. Marcel, as a fat, quiet, and softspoken child, was often a target of bullying. Rimas, seeing that Marcel was cornered by a few children who were poking at him, bit one of the children on the face. The children ran away screaming, and in the few seconds before the teacher approached, Rimas also bit Marcel on the arm. Marcel simply said, "If you're hungry I have an apple sauce in my lunch." Rimas thought this was hilarious, and declared "From now on, you're my appendice." (She was trying to say apprentice.)

+When his mother returned home in 516 (when Marcel was six) his father's presence in his life diminished. His father would routinely spend days to weeks away from home, saying little about where he was going or what he was doing, so Marcel was at this point mostly raised by his mother. He occasionally had Rimas over to play 'wizards', which was a game that Ehr had made up. This generally consisted of Ehr pretending to be a dragon who was Rimas's familiar, and giving her and Marcel 'quests'. Usually the quests would consist of scavenger hunts, occasionally a game of tag, or putting together a puzzle.
+As a natural consequence of this, Marcel also grew to know Rimas's mother and sister, and her father, when he was in the hospital.
+Marcel would occasionally accompany Rimas to the hospital to visit Sam. On one occasion, sensing that he was near death, Sam asked to speak with Marcel alone. He gave to Marcel [[Sapphire of Katuk|a brooch]] whose power would awaken someday.
