Marcello Orlando

Marcello is a limner (painter who specializes in portraits or miniatures) and visits Cossette specifically to paint her portrait. Although there are rumors going around about him, Cossette doesn't fear Marcello and is kind to him. Unfortunately, that leads to him becoming more and more obsessed with possessing her and capturing her beauty, to the point that he murders her to "make time stand still" for her beauty.
