What did the FA say when you told her/him that your assigned seat was occupied? I'd be curious to see how they handled that. Normally, you would have been paged by the GA before boarding and given another seat assignment.

When I got to my seat 2C was already occupied and the man was already reading a paperback novel. He looked like (from descriptions in other spots on ft) what one would expect a sky marshall to look like; he was stocky, crew cut, though he was not wearing a suit. Is my guess correct?
OP said their seat was 2D (window). Seat 2C (aisle) was already occupied (though there should have been a comma in the sentence to clarify its intended meaning). So they did not have a duplicate seat and the person in question was in the aisle.
