Toller Mercier

Toller Mercier is a tall, middle-aged man in his early fifties with salt-and-pepper hair and a commanding presence. He has a serious and stoic demeanor, but his eyes light up with warmth when he looks at Mary, his second wife, whom he deeply loves.   Toller is a respected doctor in the local community, known for his expertise in various medical fields. He is well-regarded for his dedication to his patients and his commitment to providing quality healthcare. Toller takes his profession seriously and spends long hours at the hospital, often sacrificing his personal time to help those in need.   Toller was previously married and had a daughter, Alma, from his first marriage. However, tragedy struck when his first wife died in a falling accident, leaving him heartbroken and struggling to come to terms with the loss. Despite the pain he carries from his past, Toller found solace in Mary's presence and fell deeply in love with her.   Toller has a low opinion of Peter, Mary's ex-husband and Ince's father. He feels that Peter neglected Mary and failed to appreciate her for who she truly is. Toller believes that Mary deserves better, and he is determined to provide her with the love and support she deserves. He is fiercely protective of Mary and wants to ensure her happiness and well-being.   While Toller tries to be friendly towards Ince, Mary's son from her previous marriage, he struggles to connect with him. Ince keeps Toller at arm's length and refuses to acknowledge him as a step-father, which creates a sense of discomfort for Toller. Despite this, Toller maintains his composure and continues to extend his support and care towards Ince, hoping that one day they can build a meaningful relationship.   Toller's love for Mary is unwavering, and he is committed to being a devoted husband and father to their young daughters. He is respected in his profession and carries a sense of duty towards his patients and his family. Toller is a complex character who has experienced loss and heartbreak, but he remains determined to make the most of his second chance at love and create a happy life with Mary and their family.
