Marsellus Wallace
The boss who commands fear and respect in the Los Angeles underworld.
Marsellus Wallace is a gangster and the boss of Jules Winnfield and Vincent Vega in Los Angeles. He is married to Mia Wallace. He bribes an aging boxer, Butch Coolidge, to intentionally lose his upcoming boxing match. After Butch double-crosses him by killing his opponent, Marsellus chases Butch into a pawnshop, where the owner, Maynard, captures them both. Maynard and his accomplice, Zed, rape Marsellus in the basement. Butch breaks free, kills Maynard, and frees Marsellus, who then incapacitates Zed. Marsellus instructs Butch to tell no one about the incident and leave Los Angeles forever, while he himself intends to "get medieval" on Zed.
