Bio: Major Jesse Marcel was born in Terrebonne Parish to Louisiana residents Theodule and Adelaide Marcel in 1907. He grew up in this town with the average life of an average high school student. When he graduated from high school, Marcel took a variety of jobs from draftsman of the Louisiana Department of Transport to cartographer for the Shell Oil Company. Eventually, his journey through life brought him into military service. He served two enlistments in the United States National Guard, first in Louisiana from 1925 to 1928, and second in Texas from 1936 to 1939. Around this time, he also fell in love with and married another Louisiana resident named Viaud Abrams, and they had one son, Jesse Marcel Jr., in 1936.

By the time World War II broke out, Marcel and his family were living in Houston, Texas. With a desire to serve his country, he applied for and was given a commission as a 2nd Lieutenant in the US Army Air Force in March 1942. Jesse's previous experience as a cartographer served him will in the intelligence department, which he was a part of until he went into combat in October 1943. He was assigned to the 5th Bomber Command as a pilot and an intelligence officer in the Philippines. It was here that he met a plucky young officer named Bromden Arnolds, who unbeknownst to him was secretly a member of the Assassin Brotherhood, and the two became good friends. Marcel was eventually promoted to Major in May 1945, and by the time the war ended, Marcel was already being assigned back to the States for service at home.

In January 1946, Marcel was assigned to the Roswell Army Air Force Base, where his true claim to fame would arise. In the summer of 1947, a local named Brazel spotted a mysterious object crash in the middle of the New Mexico desert, and collected the debris. This caught the attention of the local law enforcement, and Marcel. He had been investigating some unusual activity in the area previously, finding out various conspiracies surrounding the pharmaceutical company Abstergo Industries and getting wrapped up in them. Marcel brought in his old friend Bromen Arnolds, and the two investigated the incident together. Their search dug up mysterious links to men at Abstergo, which Bromden would continue to investigate more thoroughly as the years went on. The incident earned Marcel a lot of press, but eventually he had to move on. In 1948, he was transferred to the Strategic Air Command, where he was put in charge of overseeing Pentagon meeting supplies.

Marcel had full intention of continuing his service in the Air Force, but life got in the way. In 1950 his mother grew very ill, and his sister was unable to provide the treatment she needed, so Marcel requested and received a release from active duty to help his family back home. Eventually, he would get a full discharge in 1958. Now back to Louisiana life, Marcel became an electronics repairman, and took up a hobby for ham radio. This and other factors built up his desire to dig into the conspiracies he uncovered, especially around Abstergo. Initially these were private investigations with Bromden, but in his later years Marcel went public about his conspiracy theories. He became a craze in the alien coverup community, and many questioned him about the truth of what went down in Roswell. He got wrapped up in his role, and it would be a legacy that his family carried on even after his death in 1986.
