Antiquarian

Background

Antiquarian owns an antiquarian shop. He has a pet parrot and dog.

During the events of Theatre Macabre: Season 1 Episode 12 Markheim played by Aleksander Bardini

On Christmas Eve, Markheim enters the store and the Antiquarian tells him that he was about to close. The Antiquarian complains about how commercial Christmas has become and says he never gives anything to anyone as the poor will be unhappy to receive a rich gift and the rich don't need presents. He calls Karolinka over to him and grabs her hand and talks about how lonely he is. She pulls her hand away and the Antiquarian complains about how she would rather sleep with someone young like herself. Before she leaves the Antiquarian asks Karolinka to kiss him and complains that he is still the same person as when he was young on the inside and enjoys the passion of young women. Markheim tells the Antiquarian that he is looking for a present and the Antiquarian offers to sell him a jeweled bracelet. When the Antiquarian has his back turned, Markheim walks up closely behind him. The Antiquarian tells him the price and Markheim tells him he cannot afford it and shows the Antiquarian how much money he has. The Antiquarian offers to sell Markheim a mirror, but Markheim tells him that he doesn't enjoy looking at himself. The Antiquarian looks for other items and opens up a drawer with a revolver in it. Markheim sees a knife and as the Antiquarian's back is turned again, Markheim grabs it and walks over and stabs the Antiquarian to death.
