Overview
President Marchand is a President (same ranking as a Hero or Archvillain) and leader of the Loyalists faction. He was president in 1963 of the Rogue Isles before Lord Recluse took over.
Villains can find him if they go back in time:
- during the mission Agree to form a Strike Force in the Mender Tesseract Strike Force (Levels 25+), as a NPC.
- during the mission Take out Marchand once and for all in the Mender Tesseract Strike Force (Levels 25+), as a 'President' (same as Hero/Archvillain) and an Enemy.
Background
Gerald T. Marchand was elected in 1937, winning a close race against Conrad Oakes. His first eight-year term carried him through the Second World War.[1] During World War II President Marchand officially declared the Rogue Isles neutral, albeit with Allied leanings. When the 5th Column menace alarmed the US, Marchand’s army waged a visible "war" on Column members on the islands, just to placate the Allies.[2]
Marchand was killed in 1963 by an unknown assassin. Lord Recluse and Arachnos took over the Isles soon after.
In some alternate realities Marchand survives the attack of Lord Recluse and keeps the power for many more years.[3]
Quotes
President Marchand has a cutscene for each of his two appearances. He will escape during the first one:
Later during the same strike force he will try to escape a second time:

Before Combat: "I have your assurance that this facility is locked down?"
Combat start: "You can't attack the president of the Rogue Isles!"
At 75% Life: "Where are those aides? Keeping me alive is their job."
At 50% Life: "You treasonous little worm!"
At 25% Life: "You don't know what you're doing! Recluse will destroy the Rogue Isles!"
Defeated: "But my term wasn't up yet..."
Defeats a villain: "Tell Recluse his bid for presidency is TERMINATED."
