Marcel Gerard | The Vampire Diaries Wiki | Fandom

In Rebirth, with most of the vampires being exiled from the Quarter by the werewolves, Marcel began rebuilding a vampire community from scratch. Later, he helped Klaus with removing the moonlight rings and overthrowing Francesca's werewolves.

In Alive and Kicking, Marcel is shown recruiting new vampires for his community with Josh. Elijah comes to Marcel for aid in looking for the white oak stake. A flashback is shown and we see that young Marcel and Elijah are very close with each other, having a teacher-student relationship. Klaus becomes jealous and releases Kol, who at the time was daggered. Kol tries to teach Marcel Shakespeare, using compelled people and killing them in front of Marcel's eyes with the intent on turning Marcel and teaching him how to be a vampire. Elijah comes to Marcel's aide with Klaus. Klaus chooses to protect Marcel by daggering Kol. Elijah, noticing how much Klaus cares for Marcel decides to tell Marcel he is bored of him, in an attempt to distance himself, so Klaus could continue mentoring him in hopes it would help Klaus become a better man. In the present time, Marcel finds out Davina has the white oak stake and tries to convince Davina to give it up to no avail. Marcel and Elijah work together to find Davina and try to recover it, which leads to them discovering of Mikael's return. Later, Marcel gives Elijah the new recruit - Gia as a student in hopes that Elijah will join his vampire community.

In Every Mother's Son, Marcel watched his community grow and then met with Elijah, who told him that he needed the help of a witch. Marcel initially suggested Davina but after her actions with Mikael, Elijah didn't want Davina's help. He pointed out that Marcel had another witch, since Gia now had a daylight ring. Marcel pointed him in the direction of a witch named Lenore and had him take Gia with him. Later, Gia asked Marcel why he wanted her to be mentored by Elijah and Marcel explained that they needed to convince Elijah that he should join their vampire community since Klaus was siding with the wolves, they needed an Original on their side. Marcel elaborated that Elijah was the type of person who needed to fix broken things. Gia returned sometime later, telling Marcel that she had convinced Elijah to help her and Marcel happily relished that their community would have Elijah on their side.

In Live and Let Die, Marcel and his vampires are hanging out in his loft. He asks Josh if he has any luck on that dating site he's on. Josh tells him there's one guy, but doubts it will work since he has to keep his vampire status a secret. Suddenly the werewolves come and bring a dead vampire with them. They tell the vampire army they're not welcome in the city anymore when Marcel reminds about their old deal. The werewolves then leave telling them its going be their only warning. After that, they have a meeting to discuss their plans. Gia wants to fight to stay in the city and Josh is skeptic on how to beat the werewolf army since they now have the Moonlight Ring. Elijah then comes in and offers the army vampire fighting lessons. Which Marcel agrees to.

Aiden comes to the loft again to ask for help since Finn wants werewolf child solders in the war and he doesn't want to risk his brother's safety. Because of his rule on kids, Marcel agrees to help. After the successful rescue mission, Marcel goes back to his loft with Hayley and Gia to celebrate.

In Red Door, Hayley tells Marcel that the werewolf kids they rescue are in a safe house far north of the city. He's satisfied that those kids are safe. He then goes with Hayley to help her find the missing Elijah and Oliver. However that's put on hold when they learn Mikael has Cami. They help Klaus fight off Mikael when they get to their location. Outnumbered Mikael fled and he confronts Davina mad that she resurrected him. He unknowingly meets Kol in his host body.

Determined Cami tells him she has a plan. Marcel doesn't want Cami to her plan, but changes his mind with Hayley's call. Outside of Rousseau's Marcel and Gia spy on Cami's date with Finn to make sure it goes well. Gia defends Marcel from a werewolf getting bitten in the process. Marcel then kills the wolf. He then takes Gia back to his loft and gives her Klaus' blood. He then gets a call from Cami telling him she'll use Finn's feelings as an advantage.

In Chasing the Devil's Tail, Marcel is part of a plan to trap Finn after that's successful. He then takes Kol offscreen in Davina's Room.

In The Brothers That Care Forgot, he admits to Davina he was the one who turned Kol and the White Oak Stake over to Klaus. She's angry at him for doing that, but Marcel tells her he has best interest at heart as he's sure Kol would use her. Marcel then leaves his Loft with Josh and Davina inside of it.

In When the Levee Breaks, Marcel tries to convince Davina to help them dagger Klaus, when she tells Marcel that while he helped save her from Eva, he wasn't there for her when Kol died, and that's when she needed him the most, even if he didn't like Kol. She is reluctant to hand over the dagger as Kol gave it to her for protection, and she'll decide if it gets used. During the night, she is with Josh to say farewell as he is planning to leave the city with Aiden, however the two of them come across Aiden's body. Unaware that Dahlia killed him, they believe that he was murdered by Klaus for his betrayal, and they mourn him together before Davina makes her way to Algiers, where Marcel is.
