A Feast for Crows

Marsh returns to his steward duties when Jon Snow is elected Lord Commander

A Dance with Dragons

Marsh at first is helpful to the new Lord commander but becomes increasing angry with his decisions such as making the lad Satin the Lord Commanders new stewart, appointing a Wildling the new Master at Arms at Castle Black and allowing Wildlings to join the watch and diminish the food supply. The final straw for Marsh is when Snow read aloud the letter sent by Ramsay Bolton and stated his attention to march on House Bolton threatening the neutrality of the Nights Watch. Marsh and several of his followers stab Jon Snow several times. As Marsh stabs him, tears stream down his face and he says "For the Watch" before he delivers the fatal stab.
