For most of his existence under Ruin, he was unable to aid Vin and Elend in any way, allowing his mind to drift into the insanity of Ruin, where destruction turned to bliss, giving his last vestige of rebellion the relief it needed to stay alive in the dark corners of his mind. This last burst of Marsh's incredible willpower finally emerged during Vin's battle against the Inquisitors at [[Kredik Shaw]]. With the support of Kelsier, directing Preservation's power to distract Ruin and bolstering Marsh's ability to resist, he pushed out Vin's earring. This allowed the [[mist]]s, and the full power of Preservation, to flow into her, saving her life, allowing her to destroy all of the remaining Inquisitors, and Ascending to become the [[Vessel]] of Preservation. Only Marsh survived the onslaught by a stroke of luck: as the empowered Vin was about to remove his second head spike, she Ascended beyond her physical form.
 
Ruin reasserted his control, eventually sending Marsh to the [[Battle of Hathsin]], where he would behead an exhausted Elend in Ruin's rage - who had burned through all of his metals, including the secret [[atium]] stash within the [[Trustwarren]]. However, this act gave Vin the final motivation she needed to sacrifice her life in order to destroy [[Ati|Ruin's Vessel]] and prompt the [[Catacendre]].

Marsh was a Seeker, a [[Misting]] who could burn bronze. He was highly skilled and taught Vin how to use bronze effectively.
 
Upon becoming an Inquisitor, he gained further abilities in Allomancy and [[Feruchemy]], allowing him to [[Compounding|extend his life]] as [[Rashek]] had. He gained many more spikes than were usual for an Inquisitor in the Lord Ruler's time; upwards of twenty.{{book ref|mb3|72}} He also has a Feruchemical [[Atium]]atium spike which carries an unknown Hemalurgic property as well as being able to store age.{{qa ref|688|7|Why does Marsh have a feruchemical atium spike?|date=2011-12-17}} In addition to this, he kept the bag of Atiumatium that [[KanPaar]] attempted to sell, meaning that he has enough to stay alive for a very long time.{{qa ref|727|3|And what happened to Marsh?|date=Oct 2008}}{{qa ref|691|22|How long is the lifespan of an inquisitor?|date=May 2010}}{{qa ref|428|82|It seems there's not a lot of Atiumatium left|date=Jul 2009}}
