* CompleteMonster: [[WickedWitch Marie L'Angelle]] is the head of the Angelville plantation, as well as Jesse Custer's [[EvilMatriarch grandmother]] and a major source of pain in his life. Years ago, Marie made a DealWithTheDevil himself to make herself [[ImmortalityImmorality virtually immortal]] by [[YourSoulIsMine consuming the souls of others]], stealing said souls from clients who don't pay their debts for her voodoo services. After her daughter, Christina, eloped with John Custer, [[OffingTheOffspring Marie ordered Christina's stomach cut open]] when she tried to hide a photo of Jesse from her. After ordering the death of John Custer, she forcefully took Jesse under her wing, physically and emotionally abusing him while trying to keep him under her thumb and forcing him to participate in her twisted family business. Many years after leaving that life behind, Jesse returns to Angelville to have Marie bring Tulip O'Hare BackFromTheDead, but it comes at the price of a blood contract. With her holding Tulip's life as leverage and threatening to consume her soul out of a sense of entitlement, Jesse is forced into Marie's service and subject to the same abuse once again until he can get his soul back from the Grail. Motivated solely by her desire to live forever and someone who sees people, even her own family, as little more than tools that she can dispose of once she has no further use for them, Marie L'Angelle is a cruel, [[ItsAllAboutMe selfish]], vengeful, and [[ManipulativeBastard manipulative]] human being that sticks out like a sore thumb in a setting that runs on BlackAndGrayMorality.
