Hunting: At first he liked to consider his victims parasites on society and that removing them is a public service. After a while he began to enjoy the seduction and feeding on his toys. It was an indulgence that he grew to enjoy.
Killing: Marchande only kills necessary - there's just too much to clean up otherwise. It's easier to feed from several people in one night and let them walk out than having to dig a ditch to hide a body.
Immortality: His embrace came out of the blue - something that was done to him when he had no knowledge or consent. It was, essentially, a form of rape. He never knew the woman who embraced him and therefore never learned anything from her. It is a twisted sense of irony that only a week before his mortal life ended that he discovered a tumor in his chest. It was small but it was in his lungs. Never having really smoked it would have spread throughout his body and killed him slowly - if he had lived. Now immortal, or as close to it as vampires can achieve, he can live out a long and 'healthy' life.
