That the majority of the Keepers of the Vigil do not actually respect the Accords and continue to view all supernatural creatures as monsters is a cold, hard fact. Even a country as permissible as the Philippines has its human supremacists, people who have had their close encounters with the Dark and emerged with a special sort of hatred for that which they do not understand. Some of these Hunters band together in groups, forming the Veil's very own Ku Klux Clans and ISIS organizations. There are, as well, those compacts and conspiracies from beyond Philippine shores who have made their way down here with the express intent of killing every last howling son of a bitch "from hell", even if it's the last thing they do.
The breaking of the Veil has brought many of the Fifth World's "true" Hunters crawling out of the woodwork, and many more common citizens are taking up arms for themselves due to sheer paranoia. It looks like the United Vigil has got its work cut out for them.
MARCEL LE XU’FFASCH Alias: None
HONORABLE BARRISTER OF THE ABBEY, PHILIPPINE CHAPTER This forty-something hotshot French-Filipino lawyer is unabashedly, unapologetically obsessed with Nerissa Wardenclyffe and has made it very clear that he’ll do anything for her. While Marcel has proven himself to be a capable fighter (and an Unmarked one at that) and someone who excels in cleaning up the mess that’s often left behind in an Abbey Hunter’s wake, his true talents lie in his status as the Abbey’s legal retainer. He represents the compact’s interests in the Philippines, and it’s probably the main reason why other groups like the Maharlika haven’t quite been able to get rid of them yet.
PLOT POINTS AS OF 01 OCTOBER 2016
Marcel was called down from France in order to represent the Abbey in their new host of complaints against the Methuselah and other conspiracies. Suffice to say, he may not be prepared to face the infamous Friedrich Weiss in the court of the Accords...
...And the trial was still ongoing when everything went to shit. Marcel has since disappeared, and is still at large.
