Marshall Danders is a pre-created, deceased Sim and was once the husband to Melinda Danders, with whom he had a daughter, Diane Pleasant. Diane went on to become the mother of Daniel Pleasant (who is infamous for cheating on his wife, Mary-Sue Pleasant by conducting an affair with his housemaid, Kaylynn Langerak). He, like Irma Oldie, as well as some other Sims, has an unused hairstyle. The beret in the game has a logo, but Marhshall's does not.
Marshall is deceased long before the start of The Sims 2, and the only indication of his existence is provided by the Pleasant family tree.
Tip: This Sim has no character data and cannot be resurrected in-game. See Resurrecting tips.
