Marcus Finch is a former Alchemist, and an acquaintance of Clarence Donahue.
Biography[]
He saved Clarence from a group of Warriors and is also the source of some of Clarence's information on them. Sydney asks Stanton about him, but she claims that he doesn't exist. The Warriors claim that he is a renegade Alchemist, which confuses Sydney since there are no former Alchemists. When she later looks at a picture of Marcus given to her by Clarence, she notices that he has a swirly blue tattoo that appears to cover up his Alchemist tattoo.

The Indigo Spell[]
After using a location spell to track down Marcus, Sydney Sage finds him hiding in Santa Barbara, where he was hiding inside a closet. When she opened the door to the closet, he attacked her, punching her in the face. They fight, and then he sees that she is Sydney Sage and says that he has been looking for her. Marcus is also working with the Warrior of the Light, Sabrina, who is a spy for Marcus. Sydney takes him to Adrian to heal his injuries that she caused him in the fight. Marcus was excited to meet a Spirit user, saying that he had always wanted to meet one. When at Adrian's house, Adrian sees the bruise on Sydney's face, and he attacks Marcus, causing the two to get into a physical fight. Despite this, Sydney breaks the fight, and eventually Adrian agrees to heal Marcus.
Marcus arranges to see Sydney to talk to her about the Alchemist and the Warrior's secrets. He meets her at an arcade where he is playing skee-ball, telling her that he left the Alchemist because of a Moroi girl whom he was friends with when he was doing field work in Athens. As he learned that Alchemists were keeping Moroi in cages and that he was threatened with re-education, he ran away and broke his golden lily, allowing him to be free for the Alchemists. Another meeting is organized with Sydney, but this time she allows her to bring a friend, Eddie, to the meeting where she meets other members who also broke their lilies. Marcus tells her that he will break her Lily if she breaks into St. Louis and takes the video footage about the Alchemist and Warriors working together to go after Jill. Sydney agrees to this, taking the video footage back to Marcus and the others, and at this point she agrees for Marcus to break her golden lily, which frees her lily. Marcus also offers her to come with them to Mexico to escape and run away from the Alchemist forever.
Just before leaving, Sydney, who had originally agreed to go with Marcus and others, declines the offer to run away as she tells Marcus that she is in love. At this point, Marcus leaves with the others for Mexico, and Sydney meets Adrian at the Getty Villa after decoding his instructions for her to meet him there. She admits that she does love him, and they spend the whole day together.
When Sydney returns to Amberwood, she arrives past curfew and is assigned detention after the winter break ends by Mrs. Weathers. Sydney is told that one of her cousins has arrived at Amberwood and goes to her room to find Zoe, her little sister, who has been assigned as a junior Alchemist in Palm Springs.
