Lennon Marlon is the figurehead king of Marlon, in which his mother Anne Marlon is the true power behind the throne during Story of Evil. He was betrothed to ??? Lucifen d'Autriche and his actions ultimately contributed to the Green Hunting. He is one of Hansel's reincarnations.

Early Life
Lennon was born in EC 474 with in the Marlon Royal Family. Although the rightful heir to the Kingdom of Marlon's crown, he was never interested in being King. Instead, he wished to be a painter, and used the second floor of the royal palace as his studio. At some point, Lennon encountered his mother Anne's close friend Abyss E.L. and, unnerved by her cruelty, avoided her. In EC 484, Lennon met Keel Freesis and Mikina Sfarz at one of the royal banquets. While there, he saw Mikina scream and faint at the sight of a cat. Showing the talent required, the fourteen-year old Lennon moved into the city with his relatives and progressed quickly under the guidance of Margaret, his art teacher. Around that time in EC 488, he painted a picture of a blonde girl he met, which received the most praise from his tutor. Struck by her intelligent demeanor and kindness, Lennon developed a crush on her and promised to marry the green-haired woman when he grew up.

After Margaret's apparent suicide via poison the following year while imprisoned, Lennon suspected the circumstances and, hearing that Keel would do anything if you paid him, had the noble's son investigate her death. Soon after, Keel relayed to Lennon how his mother handed the poison off to a guard who gave it to Margaret. Afterwards, the Marlon prince became fully devoted to becoming an artist, willing to even leave the royal family and meet up with Keel to begin his art career. However, multiple art critics and dealers, including the famed Nikolay Tolle, criticized Lennon's work and over time demoralized him from his ideal. Completely broken, the blonde prince abandoned his dream and burned his collection of paintings in EC 490, save for the portrait his teacher loved so much; around this time, Lennon received a hand mirror from his mother and kept it because it helped alleviate his confusion.

Sometime later, Keel bought the painting, saying the prince could buy it back when he felt better, although the price would be doubled. In EC 494, Lennon was crowned king after his father's death and the political turmoil that followed. He later became acquainted with the princess of the Kingdom of Lucifenia and the two would become very close. Their parents agreed to have their children marry when ??? turned fifteen. At some point, he learned that his mother had bribed the artists and dealers to belittle him. As the years progressed, he overheard numerous titles given to him in regards to being his mother's puppet and his apparent incompetence. Sometime later, he met and collaborated with Leonhart Avadonia in secret.

Green Romance
During one of his visits to Keel's mansion in the Kingdom of Elphegort, he left unsatisfied by the entertainment at the merchant's dinner party. The following month, he returned to the periodic event at the mansion and watched Keel's new servant, Gumillia, sing. Impressed and enamored with the girl, the king congratulated Keel for his success after the performance and praised Gumillia's voice. Keel introduced the servant girl to the king, mentioning he was a playboy. In reaction to the comment, he nearly cursed but recomposed himself and apologized for his rudeness. Seeing Gumillia's nervous demeanor at his position, he told her he intended to remain incognito and that he was fine with her treating him casually like Keel did. Gumillia obeyed and Lennon told her they were speaking too casually, prompting her to respond how he truly was a playboy. The embarrassed Lennon choked up when trying to respond.

After one of Gumillia's performances sometime later, he knocked on the door to Keel's living room and entered after know one responded; the king saw Gumillia gawking at his portrait of Rina and trying to read the signature. Lennon approached her and told her it was his penname: Kachess Crim. Lennon explained to the surprised Gumillia his failed art career caused by his mother. When she asked if he hated being king, he told her he was proud of the responsibility but that his mother remained unsatisfied, despite following the road she paved for him. Staring at her, he spoke of how he still wished he could escape and live among the common folk with a family, provoking the servant to ask if he was in love with her. He told her he loved her since their first meeting but she turned him down, saying she didn't know how to love a man.

Angered, Lennon tried to explain love to Gumillia, and asked if there was anyone she wanted to protect and cared for. When she responded, he was embarrassed to hear her mention her love was a woman, but said it was possible if it was true love. He gave her a shell necklace to represent his pure love for her and jokingly threatened that she was refusing the Marlon King's gift. He blushed and Gumillia berated him for abusing his power; Lennon apologized and said he would like them to start out as friends. With a mischievous smile, Lennon heard Gumillia agree to the offer and told her being friends with Marlon's king was incredible, much to her ire. He told her he was kidding and retired to the dining room.
