Sir Marcellus Williams
n
1220, Gladys Austhwaite returned from a magical realm with a man named Marcellus,
a native of that place. He remembered not his home (see Between
Two Worlds), but had vowed to accompany her home, since she was his wife
and bore his child. Baelthornon and Sir Richard knew that they would need a
cover story to explain Gladys' condition, so they began looking for an identity
for him to assume. Roland provided the perfect alibi: he knew a widow back in
distant London whose son had died; Marcellus assumed her surname, Williams.

Background: Marcellus remembered naught of his past. He longed to return
to his home, though he didn't remember it, but he remained through devotion
to his wife and son. As this devotion to Gladys passed, Marcellus disappeared
for the better part of a year, and returned to snatch away his son and return
them both to Marcellus's world, although Milo returned some months later (as
told in the story That Bastard
Marcellus).
