Puts down more questions and rolls around
Does Angus still look out for Jackie behind the scenes even after they've broken up and gone their own ways, or did he drop him altogether?
How does Jacques react when he discovers Henrik's "medical miracles" are an act of necromancy? Would he be shocked, or just make fun of him as always?
How does Robbie feel that Henrik is experimenting on his corpse body — grateful? desecrated? amused?
Marvin lived in a time when magic was openly loved — how does he feel towards modern-day magic-users who hide their abilities or are persecuted?
How does Jameson balance being an actor with being a chronomancer — does he ever "cheat" during plays with time magic?
YIPPEE
He tries not to involve himself too directly with Jackie, don't need other hunters or especially IRIS to know what his brother is. But he keeps enough tabs on him that he's able to show up if Jackie needs help, be it detective work trying to find a particularly tough monster of the week, or in drastic cases a rescue. The longer they spend apart though, the more they grow to miss each other. Jackie is usually the one to reach out, it's a coin flip if he can actually get ahold of Angus. Angus has been keeping up with the news of Jackie's exploits as a superhero, and while he doesn't exactly approve of showing the general public the existence of anything supernatural, he can't deny the good his little brother is doing and couldn't be more proud of him. They slowly reconnect again but still keep a bit of distance between them so they're less likely to be targeted at the same time.
Jacques was raised on fairytales and has always had a sense of whimsy and a belief in magic, while Henrik was enamored with stories from his grandmother and loved to read everything, but his father made sure he "knew" that playing make believe would serve him no purpose in the real world and as such Henrik firmly believes that anything potentially supernatural has a logical scientific explanation to it. Although he'd one day learn through IRIS, as well as being all but beaten over the head with every ancient book tome and scroll in Marvin's possession so Marvin could win the argument, the line between science and magic is a lot more blurred than people realize. His own powers would probably do that for him as well, I'm a Lil high and can't write straight. But anyway, Jacques is thrilled to learn just how real magic is, and while he is a bit put off by the exact nature of Henrik's, he loves to tease the "Man of Science" for saving his patients in such a magical fashion. Henrik reluctantly tolerates his teasing because he loves his brother deep down.
He's definitely grateful to have a solid body to be with his family again. He's for the most part in a constant state of decay, but Henrik does his best with a little magic boost from Marvin to mitigate it and repair him as needed. Of course most of Robbie's senses are dulled in this form unless he, as a ghost, exits his body and has his senses heightened. This to say he doesn't really feel pain and Henrik gets the job of reattaching his arm after Robbie ripped it off to use it as a weapon. He can also sorta control body parts that aren't attached to him, but it gets harder the farther away the part gets from him. He has some requests for Henrik sometimes, like making him taller or more muscular. Chase is annoyed because Robbie was already taller than him by the time he was 15, why would he need to be any taller? Robbie says just because he can. Henrik assures Chase that if he gets to practice on Robbie, he can do the same thing to make Chase taller too. Chase respectfully, and a bit terrified of the implications, turns him down. He might hit Henrik up for some free bottom surgery though. But basically Henrik and Robbie get along great and bond over their mutual enjoyment of making Robbie's body his own again.
It makes Marvin happy to meet modern day magic users, be they a handful of people from his own time (such as a certain deal making Phantom), or anyone that has been born since then and was able to hide their power well enough to hone it like Jackie or Jameson. Once Marvin is able to see light at the end of the tunnel when it comes to defeating Anti and actually has hope again, he develops the wish to seek out magic users in hiding and try to take on a few apprentices to ensure the craft stays alive. At one time, he may have not paid much mind to other users beyond mild surprise. Being largely alone for so long, even among peers, gave him a very "fend for yourself" attitude towards other users even when the hunters were running rampant, tying himself to other people just led to him and the people around him getting hurt. Aside from a select few that managed to break down his walls, he never let himself truly care for anyone but himself. But in his old age, and with the help of accidentally forming a new coven of witches with the other egos, he he starts to open up again. And he wants to do his best to foster the return of magic to the world.
Jameson may not cheat much, at least at first, he doesn't have the best control over his power. He first discovered this ability when he was drafted for the War, and he was somehow able to slow down time around himself while focusing to take a shot. It would usually flare up under stress until he calmed down and caused time to flow normally again. It's not until he meets Marvin for the first time that he discovers it's magic and not some psychological stress response that only affects him. Marvin had technically already met Jameson before that and already adored him, but he couldn't let Jameson know that yet until Jameson accidentally goes back in time to Victorian England and meets a very different Marvin who is nowhere near as caring and attentive to his plight of not knowing how to use his magic properly. This Marvin is only meeting Jameson for the first time and is still in a very self destructive depressed mental state that he hides by putting up a front that gives the impression that he's just a very social and promiscuous person with nothing to hide. Jameson has to be very stubborn with him to the point of finally melting through the ice and getting him to actually open up for once. By the time Jameson goes back to the future, Marvin has softened a lot and become the person that Jameson met initially. Once their timeliness are finally fully aligned, Marvin teaches everything he possibly can about magic, even if he himself doesn't have much of a grasp on chronomancy. But with Marvin's instruction he's able to use his powers much more reliably. He doesn't use them for his work much, he finds it dishonest and wants to give his most genuine performance. But there will be a flubbed line or two that embarrass him enough to try again. And it's the exact type of selfish use of magic that Marvin loves to see, and that's just one reason he goes to every one of Jameson's performances.
