As teenagers, both men had apprenticed in business and met as clerks presumably in accounting in another business. The firm of Scrooge and Marley was a nineteeth century financial institution, probably a counting house, as Marley refers to their offices as 'our money-changing hole'.

They have become successful bankers, with seats on the London Stock Exchange; they are also stockholders and directors of at least one major association, but a vast amount of their wealth has been accumulated through usurious moneylending.

Marley is the first ghost other than the three spirits to visit Ebenezer seven years later. He first preys upon Scrooge by appearing as the knocker and also causing the bells in the house to ring. Marley appears to Scrooge, warning him to change his ways before he ends up like Marley and the other ghosts they once knew.

Role in book [ ] Seven years prior to A Christmas Carol , Jacob dies of unknown circumstances with his heir being Ebenezer Scrooge , his friend, and business partner. Role in adaptations [ ] In the film Scrooge , he is played by an uncredited Claude Rains. Also unlike in most versions he is invisible and you only hear his voice.

Michael Hordern played Marley twice, once in the film Scrooge and then as the voice of Marley in Richard Williams' animated film. Unlike most versions, this incarnation of Marley has a skull-like head with hair dancing up like a flame, a floor-length nightgown, and chains wrapped around his waist. In the film Scrooge, Marley is played by Alec Guinness. This version of the character was mentioned to be like a twisted version of Robin Hood, "robbing widows and swindling the poor," which ultimately led to his punishment of carrying his chains.

He was also mentioned to have left very little in the way of a fortune, leaving only enough for Scrooge to pay for Marley's tombstone so the former had him buried at sea instead. In the made-for-television film of A Christmas Carol , the film opens with Marley's funeral procession. While Scrooge walks home, he hears Marley's voice calling him from an apparitional hearse, and then again before Scrooge sees Marley's face on the door knocker.
