  Jacob Marley - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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'.
After his death, Marley's spirit was condemned to walk the Earth for all eternity.
Marley was able to procure a chance to help Scrooge avoid this fate by arranging the visitations of the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future (just who or what Marley appealed to was never specified in the novel).
