Marianne Delacroix is a major antagonist in the 2013 television series Father Brown. She is the illegitimate daughter of the master thief M. Hercule Flambeau who after finding out who her father is, decides to pursue her own career as a thief with the intention of both getting his attention and surpassing him.
She was portrayed by Gina Bramhill.
Biography[]
She first appears in the series in the fourth season. She is kidnapped by Flambeau's former partner, whom he once left to die. The former partner demands that Flambeau steal a cross, which is both a religious value and a historical monument. Flambeau (with the help of Father Brown) does so. At this time, Marianne manages to escape from captivity. At the same time, Flambeau and Father Brown arrive there. They call the police and hand over the kidnappers, but Flambeau subsequently escapes. The next time fate brings Flambeau and Marianne together, it turns out that she has also become a thief (and as clever as her father). Father Brown even arranges a competition to see who is the best thief. Flambeau turns out to be the best thief, but Marianne also has something to surprise her father with. However, it turns out that she stole property from Italian crime boss Vincenzo Murgida, and now he demands that she return the stolen property or Marianne will be killed. In the end, Murgida demands that Flambeau kill a young man he has kidnapped for this purpose. But the police intervene. Flambeau escapes once again, and Murgida is arrested. Marianne does not appear in the series again (at this point). She is only mentioned once by Flambeau. When Flambeau mends his relationship with his father, he tells him "you have a granddaughter" (clearly referring to Marianne, as Flambeau has no other children).
