Marcus Jones was a waiter aboard the PAX2, having skipped out from home to make his own way in life. Unfortunately, this meant he was stuck in the middle of the Dark War that resulted, and was slowly drafted into the services as the ship desperately tried to keep their forces stocked. Being befriended by Weapon II, Dias, he quickly began to learn combat and soon became a formidable fighter.
After the PAX2's journey ended, Marcus continued to stay around Dias, and eventually that led him into conflict with Weapon IV, Ripple. The two managed to defeat the Weapon, and Warren then brought them back into the fold - though that meant they were also considered fugitives by the law. Being brought into one event after another following that, Marcus Jones has skirted the outskirts of the military life, doing battles for 'justice'.
Something of a player, Marcus managed to bed many of the women of the group until winning the heart of Katrina McCormick, despite their age difference. After working up the courage to ask her to marry him, the two entered the next phase of their lives.
After Cheryl and the team left to travel through realities in search of Cheryl's son Ben, Marcus stayed behind with Katrina to attempt to start a normal life. Unfortunately for them, the Legacy crisis interrupted their honeymoon and Marcus went along with Katrina to the Cartel so that Erevis and the others could use Katrina's connections to get to the ship. Unfortunately for Marcus and Katrina, they were stuck on the ship after Iceheart's ship crash landed onto it and it jumped away. Perhaps a blessing in disguise, Marcus was back in a 'end of the world' situation that allowed him to fight and work towards something he could be proud of. But after a bit of contending with himself on how much risk he should take as a married man he finally opted to open up a bar aboard the new PAX and settle down a bit.
Things were going well until suddenly Marcus disappeared leaving behind a roughly scribbled note. Cut to 40 some odd years later whenever Warren’s team were on a mission through time to save certain targets it became somewhat clear what happened to Marcus. While they were on mission Marcus was critically wounded and they had no other choice but to bring him back to the present.
Now Marcus has to deal with his new life and the trouble that usually follows in his wake.
