―Marcus
Marcus and the Volturi meet with Renesmee after she was captured by May and Niall where he watches her be hypnotized by Olivia while the guards destroy the Cullens. However, he and Volturi were shocked when the Cullens and Jacob, not only arrived but had survived the attack. They are joined by their own new member Lucas Stone who is the reason why the Cullens survived the assault due to his gift as well hearing that they have also destroyed Niall, May and the rest of the guards.

The Cullens demanded that they have Renesmee back but Aro along with Marcus and the others lies and states that Renesmee wanted to join their coven avoiding the lie caused by Olivia to block out Edward’s mind reading. After the Cullens witnessed Renesmee admitting “the truth” of what she wanted, Lucas steps up to Aro to join the coven. Aro was about to take Lucas’s hand to read his mind when Lucas tricks Aro by slapping his arm hard causing Aro to spin and shoot an aura sphere at Olivia sending her flying where she hit a wall and a torch fell on her where she vanished in the ash causing Renesmee to be set free from Olivia’s hypnotism. Edward rushes in and brought Renesmee back to his family.

The Cullens were about to leave with Renesmee but Aro wouldn’t have it ordered his guards to destroy the Cullens. However, the Cullens fought back despite the numbers until one of the guards to use his gift to disable Bella, Edward and Alice’s gifts so that Alec can use his to block out the Cullens senses to make it easier for the guards to restrain them. However Lucas used his aura to block out Alec’s gift and was the only one free. When Aro states how Lucas look so familiar to him, Edward discovers from reading Aro’s mind that the Volturi were the ones who killed Lucas’s family from the fire. The news shocks Lucas into rage as he takes down every member of the coven that got in his way including Marcus, single handily until he reaches Aro where he was about to kill him for revenge until he was stopped by Carlisle and Renesmee. Seeing the outcome of his plans stating it was a “misunderstanding,” Aro reluctantly lets the Cullens and Jacob go home with Renesmee while Marcus was shaken from Lucas’s rage.

―Marcus on Lucas Tiffany's relationship
Two years after the event, Marcus joins the Volturi after they hear about the newborn army in Washington and set out to Forks to see the cause of it. There, they ran into the Cullens along with the Black pack who has captured Joham who has been creating a race of hybrids using human women as tools for his experiment. Aro then sees Tiffany Stewart with her daughter Lucina Stewart and hears about how gifted they are and he eagerly offers them to join their coven only to be turned down by an angry Lucas who reminds them of what’s really going on and how they didn’t do their jobs when there are laws being broken. Lucas then scolds the Volturi about their failures of their job and the actions they’ve done. After being in silence, Aro orders his guards to destroy Joham they all left the scene afterwards.

### *Have A Purpose*

Four years later, the Volturi were ambushed by the Romanian coven with Raymundo, Jemma and Robyn and an army of vampires with gifts. They first revealed to Marcus that Aro was the culprit that killed his wife, causing Marcus to turn on Aro and thus igniting the first between two covens where the Romanian coven won in the end. They apprehended the members of the Volturi and Aro, Caius, Alec, Jane, Felix and many others were executed leaving him as the main leader along with Sulpicia and Athenodora as the co-leaders in Italy while the Cullens are the rulers of the Volturi.

The news left Marcus surprised as he has never heard of such thing. It was then revealed that a half-human half-vampire hybrid named Skai is behind it using the sword called IL Mietitore Capacità as he is using it to plot his revenge on Lucien Summers, who was once his friend, for killing Kourtney Collier, a human girl he had feelings for, by killing Luna Snow.

Skai soon started capturing every gifted vampire including Marcus and the others before he captured the Cullens using them all to kill Lucien.
