== Attributes and Abilities ==
{{image|Marsh by Ari Ibarra.jpeg|side=right|width=225px}}
=== Allomancy ===
Marsh was a Seeker, a [[Misting]] who could burn bronze. This allowed him to hear Allomantic pulses and find Allomancers. He was highly skilled and taught Vin how to use bronze effectively.
=== Steel Inquisitor ===
Upon becoming an Inquisitor, he gained further abilities in Allomancy and [[Feruchemy]] through the use of [[Hemalurgic]] spikes. He initially had eleven spikes.{{book ref|mb1|epilogue}} Some of the spikes granted Marsh the abilities of Allomantic [[steel]],{{book ref|mb2|57}} [[iron]],{{book ref|mb2|58}} [[pewter]],{{book ref|mb3|34}} [[tin]],{{book ref|mb3|42}} [[brass]],{{book ref|mb3|65}} [[zinc]],{{book ref|mb4|epilogue}}
This amount of spikes takes a great toll on his body.{{book ref|mb7|part=ars}}
His multiple atium abilities allow him to [[Compounding|extend his life]] as [[Rashek]] had.{{wob ref|8067}} In addition to this, he kept the bag of atium that [[KanPaar]] attempted to sell, meaning that he has enough to stay alive for a very long time.{{wob ref|5264}}{{wob ref|5532}}{{wob ref|5971}} As of {{date|348|FA}}, he was running low on atium and growing weak, standing at the cusp of death. His mind was also dull in this state.{{book ref|mb7|28}} Within three weeks of Wayne’s death, Marsh is no longer running low on atium due to the atium created through the splitting of Harmonium.{{book ref|mb7|epilogue|4}}{{book ref|mb7|epilogue|7}}
Occasionally, [[Harmony]] Invests him with His power, so he could help guide souls off into the [[Beyond]]. It is unknown if he was ever Invested enough to become a [[Sliver]].{{book ref|mb7|epilogue|7}}▼
Marsh has some way to walk around without being noticed by people, he claims it is through emotional Allomancy, but [[Wax]] believes there is something else going on.{{book ref|mb7|epilogue|7}}
=== Agent of Harmony ===
▲Occasionally, [[Harmony]] Invests him with His power, so he could help guide souls off into the [[Beyond]]. It is unknown if he was ever Invested enough to become a [[Sliver]].{{book ref|mb7|epilogue|7}}
== History ==
Marsh and his nickname, "Ironeyes", survived the events of the Catacendre. He has become a mythical figure in [[Elendel]]'s popular culture, being the personification of '''Death'''.{{book ref|mb4|epilogue}} He is also the focus of [[Sliverism]].{{book ref|mb4|4}} Though likely given far more freedom under the direction of [[Harmony]], he continues to serve as one of his agents.

At some point he began to run low on his stores of Atium, and age began to catch on on him.{{book ref|mb7|28}}▼

He delivered a book to [[Wax]] through [[Marasi]] that contained information about Hemalurgy, using emotional Allomancy to make her curious enough to follow him.{{book ref|mb4|epilogue}} Around this time, he had been investigating the Southern Continent of Scadrial.{{wob ref|1360}}
In 348 PC, he, desperate to find atium to extend his life, began looking through [[Bilming]] to try and find stores due to the [[Set]]'s attempts to recreate the metal. This desperation was not due to a desire to live, but rather penance for his role in the destruction of the world, and desire to keep living to help the world in an attempt to make up for it.{{book ref|mb7|28}}
At some point after [[Wayne]]'s death and [[Autonomy]]'s retreat, he began an unknown treatment which began to improve his health.{{book ref|mb7|epilogue|7}} Two years after the Shard's retreat, Marsh met with Wax, Steris, and Marasi in the [[Field of Rebirth]], in order to
At some point, he had a meeting with [[Khriss]], where he explained Hemalurgy, Compounding, and Inquisitors.{{book ref|mb7|part=ars}} News of Marsh's nature started spreading to other worlds. Khriss believed it might be spreading via supernatural means, though also suggested it could be mere rumourmongering.{{book ref|mb7|part=ars}} At some point, tales of him have even reached Lumar, and become a part of their culture, with them imagining Death with nails in his eyes.{{book ref|tress|53}}
