Jack Favell

Rebecca's cousin and lover. The narrator first meets Favell at Manderley during Maxim's absence and is put off by his bold manner and suggestive remarks. After Rebecca's body is discovered, Favell contends that Maxim murdered her and attempts to prove that they were planning to run away together. He brings in Ben as a witness, displays a note from Rebecca, and prompts the trip to London to interview Dr. Baker. After Dr. Baker seems to confirm the coroner's findings, Favell returns to Manderley and presumably sets the estate on fire with Mrs. Danvers.
