Officer stationed aboard the Prometheus and, later, the Odyssey. One of his posts was in Auxiliary Control Room Two, where he used the Prometheus' Asgard sensors to detect and map the exterior of the structure of Avalon, one half mile beneath a hilltop in Glastonbury Tor, England. He was able to define a large main cavern as well as a network of smaller tunnels and caves. Marks was also responsible for locating the Ancient long range communication device.

Promoted to the rank of Captain, Marks was present when the Prometheus traveled to Tegalus to attack and destroy an Ori satellite weapon. Instead, Prometheus was destroyed by the device in just four shots, but Marks was among the crew who managed to evacuate.

He was quickly promoted to Major, and assigned to the new Earth battle cruiser Odyssey. There Marks served alongside Colonels Emerson and Davidson.
