The Colonel (WKM)

Oh, la brute ! Et moi qui pensais être le dernier invité à arriver. Mon ami m'appelle le Colonel, et vous pouvez faire de même si cela vous plaît.

The story began when Mark and the Colonel both grew up together inside the Manor in their younger years and Damien would drop in from time to time and the three were known as "the gang" together (Mark was friends with the Detective as this time too, but he never met the Colonel or Damien). The three of them were best friends with each other but the tragedy begins when Mark meets Celine.Mark develops strong feelings for her and eventually she ends up marrying Mark and the two live together in the Manor, causing Mark to ignore Damien and the Colonel that puts a wedge in their friendship. Celine herself notices that something is wrong with the house as she is persuaded by the Colonel to dump Mark for him and she leaves Mark for him.Mark is left alone with Damien as the Colonel runs off with Celine, devastating Mark as he is betrayed by his best friend and lover and is left alone when Damien becomes the mayor of the city and is forced to tend to his job. The result is Mark cutting ties with everyone.
