Marcelus (Japanese: マルセレス Marcellus) was the successor of his brother Anri as the King of Altea. All subsequent Altean kings are his descendants.
Biography
Marcelus was originally an ordinary peasant living with his brother Anri on the remote islands of Altea. When Artemis, the princess of Archanea, came in hiding to flee the Dolhr Empire, Anri decided to fight against Dolhr and slayed Medeus in the year 500. Following Medeus's death in the war later known as the War of Liberation, Anri founded the Kingdom of Altea in the islands of his homeland, and became its first king. As Anri died unmarried and childless in the year 537, Marcelus succeeded him as the new king of Altea. His ascension sparked a dispute among the nobility resulting in the foundation of Gra, which would still remain a close Altean ally for decades.
