Jonas created this character,
based on the life of an old person he knew,
from growing up in New Orleans.
He never really took this elderly man seriously,
when he used to tell him tales of Witchcraft,
Sorcery, Loup-Garou and Vampires.
Nonetheless, he figured there was something,
financially relevant that could come out of these stories.
He brought the elder's stories to life.
He wrote a playwright based off his stories.
He even designed the old man's portrait,
which resulted in millions of doll versions of this old man,
being mass-produced and sold worldwide.
This old man's name was Tonton Marcel.
He was dark-skinned with grey hair.
He had a face that seemed to have seen pretty much everything,
the world could bring to his doorstep and more.
He was so old,
he walked with a cane,
and always wore a black fedora hat.
Tonton Marcel also seemed,
to be shrinking in size,
as the years went by.
