== 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}}, [[copper]], [[bronze]] and [[atium]],{{book ref|mb3|81}} as well as granting him the abilities of Feruchemical [[gold]].{{book ref|mb3|69}} His spike for Allomantic [[bronze]], coupled with his natural ability as a Seeker, lets him pierce standard copperclouds.{{epigraph ref|mb3|37}} After Ruin took control of the Inquisitors he gained ten more spikes, and, adding the spike that grants him Feruchemical [[atium]] which he took from another Steel Inquisitor Vin killed, he has twenty-two in total.{{book ref|mb1|epilogue}}{{book ref|mb3|13}}{{wob ref|4142}} His new powers included Allomantic [[duralumin]],{{epigraph ref|mb3|72}}{{book ref|mb7|28}} and Feruchemical pewter,{{book ref|mb3|65}} steel,{{book ref|mb3|42}} and atium.{{wob ref|4142}}{{book ref|mb7|28}}
 
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.
