Marcus was once [[Damos]]'s assistant in taking care of [[Michina Town]]'s lands. During this time, he learned of the [[Jewel of Life]]'s role in Michina Town's prosperity and the promise by Damos that it would be returned to its creator, {{OBP|Arceus|M12}}, on the date of the next solar eclipse. Growing bitter and resentful of Arceus due to his belief that returning the Jewel of Life would result in Michina Town reverting into a wasteland, Marcus began scheming to betray it. He betrayed and jailed Damos under the custody of [[Tapp]] and [[Marcus's soldiers|a group of soldiers]], then gathered an army of Pokémon he kept compliant using magical armor attached to their bodies. When the solar eclipse came, he forced Damos to do his bidding utilizing his {{p|Bronzong}}'s {{m|Hypnosis}}, sending him to lure Arceus into a trap using a counterfeit Jewel of Life. However, Arceus survived the onslaught of Marcus's army and counterattacked, causing the Michina Town temple to crumble. Marcus and Damos tried to flee, but both fell to their deaths. | Marcus was once [[Damos]]'s assistant in taking care of [[Michina Town]]'s lands.

Over the following centuries, Marcus faded from history and Damos was labeled as the traitor who betrayed Arceus, breaking its trust in humanity and ensuring that it would one day return to pass its {{m|Judgment}} upon [[Pokémon world|the world]]. | Over the following centuries, Marcus faded from history and Damos was labeled as the traitor who betrayed Arceus, breaking its trust in humanity and ensuring that it would one day return to pass its {{m|Judgment}} upon [[Pokémon world|the world]]. Despite his falling into obscurity, the fallout of his actions would ultimately lead to the events of ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'' and ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''. | ||
In the present, {{Ash}}, {{an|Dawn}} and {{an|Brock}} visited Michina Town, where they met Damos's descendant, [[Sheena]]. Arceus returned as the prophecy had stated, and not even the combined power of {{an|Dialga}}, {{an|Palkia}} and {{an|Giratina}} could stop its rampage. In a desperate last-ditch effort to save the world, Dialga sent Ash, Brock, Dawn and Sheena [[time travel|back in time]] to the day of the promise with Arceus in hopes of changing history to avert the disaster. They arrived too late to do anything but watch Damos's betrayal of Arceus, but observed Marcus's presence for the first time. In response to Sheena's prayer, Dialga sent them a few hours further back, where they were captured by Marcus's soldiers. Marcus himself soon arrived with his Bronzong and {{p|Heatran}} and placed Ash, Brock and Dawn under Bronzong's Hypnosis, but grew intrigued when Sheena informed him that they were from the future. While his men threw Ash and {{ashfr}} in prison, Marcus hosted Sheena at a dinner to hear her story. Shocked to learn of his fate, he continued to question her, specifically asking if Damos had used silver water in his trap. Deducing from Sheena's reaction that he did not use it, Marcus claimed he would help her change history by having her return the Jewel of Life to Arceus. However, he secretly removed the Jewel from his staff before presenting it to her, tricking her into complicity in his plot. | In the present, {{Ash}}, {{an|Dawn}} and {{an|Brock}} visited Michina Town, where they met Damos's descendant, [[Sheena]].
