Template:CharacterInfobox

Marcelo Branco is the younger brother of Rodrigo Branco and Victor Branco, and the youngest child of the Branco family. He is described as a "stupid party-loving Eurotrash playboy".

Graduted in 1992, Marcelo lived his life as a spoiled child who enjoy getting everything he wants, and enjoys parties, drinks, and drugs. More than anything, Marcelo loved his sister-in-law Fabiana, Rodrigo's wife. However she rejected him and didn't want to hear about his love for her.

Marcelo got involved in Victor's plan to overthrow Rodrigo, who, being the oldest brother, got all the money and businesses of the family, as well, his desire for Fabiana could be the reason why he worked against his brother.

His first known job for his brother was to bring money to a banker in Panama, with the help of Raul Passos, his bodyguard, and Max Payne, who didn't know at the time about much of Victor's plans.

Following the kidnapping of Fabiana at Club Moderno by the Comando Sombra, and the death of Rodrigo at the Branco HQ, Marcelo went along with Giovanna Taveres, Fabiana's sister, to the Nova Esperança in order to pay the ransom, but didn't have enough money. Soon the Unidade de Forças Especiais attacked the favela, and Marcelo and Giovanna were captured by the unit, and later sold to the Crachá Preto. The Crachá Preto Underboss Milo Rego, then ordered his men to burn Marcelo, killing him.

Marcelo is later sold to the Crachá Preto, along with Giovanna. He and Giovanna end up in the hands of The Crachá Preto second-in-command, Milo Rego, who orders one of his men to brutally burn Marcelo to death in order to shift the blame away from the Crachá Preto to the local gangs. Max rushes to help Marcelo, but it is too late, and Marcelo painfully dies. Max then kills Rego by forcing his machete into his neck. Following this incident, Max and Giovanna escape the scene and the favela, leaving Marcelo's burned corpse.

By the time Max began to fight the UFE, Marcelo's status was unknown for many people, and a TV news report stated that he is missing.

Personality and traits

"He was a good time guy, if your idea of a good time was an expensive suit, a bottle or champagne, and nothing between the ears."
―Max Payne

Marcelo was a an easy-going and relaxed man. He was often acted in haste, and was often described as an idiot by many people, such as Passos and Da Silva, due to his reckless behavior and acts. Marcelo was also a very loud and cheerful man, and enjoyed joking with his family and friends.

With all these traits, Marcelo was jealous at his older brother Rodrigo, who was very successful and wealthy, while Marcelo only 'lived well', according to Da Silva. Marcelo also found a love intrest in Fabiana, his sister-in-law, and Rodrigo's wife, but she didn't return the same love to him, and prefered to not know about his love for her. This may be the reason why Marcelo plotted against his brother. However, despite showing a rather selfish attitude, Marcelo shows a great care for his family members, angrily blaming Max for the death of Rodrigo, and shouting and cursing Serrano for the death of Fabiana.
