'''Marsh''' was a [[skaa]] [[bronze|Seeker]] from [[Luthadel]] on [[Scadrial]].
 
He was stern and determined, earning him the name "Iron-eyes'''Ironeyes'''" as a result of his piercing gaze. Like his brother, [[Kelsier]], Marsh hated injustice. This led to him leading the [[skaa rebellion]] for many years.
 
Marsh attempted to help the Kelsier's revolution by infiltrating the [[Steel Ministry]]. He revealed important Ministry secrets to the rebellion, such as their soothing stations positioned by the [[Lord Ruler]] to inspire depression and docility in the skaa population. However, he was presumed dead by the rebellion after a corpse was found at a designated meeting place.
It was later revealed that he had been watched by the [[Canton of Inquisition]] and they had 'recruited' him, turning him into an Inquisitor using [[Hemalurgy]]. He continued to aid the rebellion, including killing the other Inquisitors in [[Luthadel]] when [[Vin]] was assaulting the Lord Ruler, and ultimately helping her to succeed.
 
He later led [[Sazed]] to the [[Conventical of Seran]] where they found [[Kwaan's inscription]]. After the [[Siege of Luthadel]], Ruin took control of Marsh and attempted to make him distract Sazed long enough in order to prevent him from warning Vin about giving up the power at the [[Well of Ascension]].
 
After Ruin was freed from the Well, it took total control of Marsh, and during this time, he had no control over his body, and tried to kill himself on multiple occasions with no success. He was unable to aid Vin and Elend in any way, except when he took control of his body for just long enough to pulled out Vin's earring, allowing the [[mist]]s to flow into her, saving her life from the Inquisitors -- including himself -- that were trying to kill her under Ruin's control, and allowing her to ascend. In the [[Battle of Hathsin]], again under Ruin's control, he beheaded Elend, giving Vin the motivation to kill Ruin.
Eventually the influence of [[Ruin]] overcame Marsh and he was unable to fight to aid Vin and [[Elend]] even until the very end of [[the Hero of Ages]], when he killed Elend.
 
== Ironeyes ==
Marsh survived the [[Final Ascension]], along with his nickname, '''Ironeyes'''. He became a boogeyman figure in [[Elendel]]'s popular culture. Despite this, he seemed to act in the interests of [[Harmony]], and delivered a book to Wax through Marasi, using emotional [[Allomancy]] to make her curious enough to follow him.
 
== Abilities ==
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 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 20twenty.{{ref|b|mb3|c|72}}
