oh, well, see, marc has a lot of internal logic that makes sense to him, but the issue is 100% anyone else following that logic. still, lucina already has brownie points for just rolling with marc's whole crescent moon thing so IT'LL BE FINE CLEARLY.
OH MAN marc's daddy issues. IN A NUTSHELL, he's the son of a rabbi who in the original timeline was a refugee from czechoslovakia as of WWII (but sliding timeline, so let's ignore the dates), but his approach to life in the US and anti-semitism was basically 'be the better man' and 'pacifism is better than violence', whilst marc was a very angry, violent teen/young adult, and he pretty much viewed his dad as THE WORST. they were estranged when marc enrolled in the marines as of his eighteenth birthday because, yk, violence. they then didn't speak for 18 years until elias (daddy spector) was on his death bed, and marc being marc just went NOPE, ignored elias's attempts to reach out, and then had a breakdown as of elias's funeral.
he's now all MY FATHER WAS THE KINDEST, GENTLEST MAN I'VE EVER KNOWN, I'M AWFUL, NOTHING LIKE HIM (basically). he has a lot of issues around never having made elias proud, and they're all very mixed up in his relationship with khonshu who... presently only ... answers to 'father'... and refers to marc as '[his] son'. (+ add in marc's feelings about having renounced God for ... khonshu)
SO ONCE AGAIN IT SEEMS LIKE THEY'LL BE ON VERY DIFFERENT SIDES OF THE FENCE i'm so excited for all the ways this can develop
