I wonder if maybe Steven is the part of Marc that actually listened to Layla and took on board all her interests (the French poetry, the Egyptian mythology, etc), and since Layla lives in Britain, he gave Steven a British accent and then locked it all away as a separate identity.
I also wonder if maybe the third, as yet unidentified, alter has made other appearances off-screen that we don’t know about. Meaning he isn’t a new alter that’s just manifesting for the first time. It could explain why the museum security guard was always calling him Scotty instead of Steven. That might have also been who asked the tour guide out on a date - I just can’t really see Marc doing that, unless he was doing it for Steven. Yes, Marc wanted to divorce Layla but not because he doesn’t love her. He wants to keep her away from Khonshu. I just can’t see him wanting to go out with another woman while it’s clear he still loves Layla.
