Marion is an astounding 6'4" and though he's no werewolf, he's got enough muscle to put up a good fight with one. When he's not in uniform he's usually in a knit sweater or cardigan, anything woolly and warm to protect against the elements.
ＰＥＲＳＯＮＡＬＩＴＹ
Marion has just as many shits to give as he does competent cops on his force, which is to say he has none. Years of public service have left him bedraggled and with little patience for people's shenanigans. It also hasn't helped his disposition not being close to the ocean for so long.
His temper used to be soothed by his late wife Martha, but now that he's widowed he no longer sees the need to be sociable or even fake a polite smile. He has a dry sense of humor that makes it hard to tell if he is being serious or joking, and usually it's half of both.
He may not seem to care much about anything anymore, but at his core Marion is a fighter for good. And while he is not great at expressing kindness, that does not mean he is not a kind person deep down. Anybody who has known him for a long time knows that he's actually a big softy inside, but not to talk about it.

Marion is not originally from Bellingstone though he has lived here since the early 70s making him an established member of the community. But why would a sea dwelling creature willingly move himself to a landlocked state like Pennsylvania?
For love of course.
Before, he lived in a community along the coast of Maine with his father, an Irish fisherman who had a child with a siren (sirens never keep the male children, luckily this one gave Marion to his dad). Every summer a lovely girl from Bellingstone, who happened to be a witch, named Martha would show up with her family on vacation and the two would spend a month together. The rest of the year they would correspond by letter. Marion could never leave the sea where his powers are derived or else he would die, otherwise nothing would have kept them apart so many months out of the year.
When they were of age, she 17 and he 18, he proposed to Martha and asked her to move to the coast to be with him. But her coven wouldn't allow her to leave the safety of Bellingstone. Instead, the coven made Marion a charm, a magical Sapphire ring that would allow him to travel far from the ocean so he could live in Pennsylvania.
Willing to do anything to be with his darling Martha he accepted and moved to the small town surrounded by mountains and trees and nothing except a piddly creek. This also forced him into looking at other ways of making a living other than fishing and he ended up training to become a policeman. Nonetheless, all of the sacrifice was worth it. Marion and Martha had many happy years of marriage together and were endeared by the community, Marion becoming a sheriff and Martha a teacher at the local elementary school
To the sadness of many but especially Marion, Martha passed 6 years ago quite suddenly from a brain tumor found too late for modern medicine or magic to cure. This has left him with nothing tying him to the community except a few annoying in-laws and a frustratingly inconclusive case. On the brink of retirement, the mayor’s death is, as far as he's concerned, the only thing that stands in the way between him and sipping margaritas on a beach in Florida. As little as he might seem to care though, the sheriff is as stubborn as a bull dragging his force to the finish line of this investigation.
ＭＩＳＣＥＬＬＡＮＥＯＵＳ
His supernatural abilities include immortality, breathing underwater, hypnosis (only if he sings a siren’s song), and turning into the swamp monster (aka his true form which is quite ghastly). He also has incredible strength beyond what a human is capable of.
However, because he is far from the ocean, if he takes off his ring with the charmed sapphire, he will become weak and die within hours if he's not immersed in water.
He is very musically inclined and can sing and play the guitar. He used to attend karaoke nights at the bar & grill with his fellow cops but hasn't done so in a while.
