Marcus Barber Forrester is a fictional character from the CBS daytime soap opera, The Bold and the Beautiful. The character is first introduced on May 14, 2008 being portrayed by actor, Texas Battle. Marcus is notable for being the first biracial child on the show as the son of Donna Logan (Jennifer Gareis) and Justin Barber (Aaron D. Spears).

Marcus is first introduced when he arrives at the funeral of Storm Logan.

Soon after his arrival in Los Angeles, Marcus reveals to an elated Donna that he is her son. Without telling Eric that Marcus is related to her, Donna persuades Eric to hire Marcus at Forrester Creations, hoping that Eric knowing Marcus will soften the blow when she does tell him the truth. Eric gives Marcus a position in the shipping department, working with Eric's granddaughter Steffy. After Steffy and Marcus meet, Marcus reveals to Donna that he is attracted to Steffy. Donna tells Marcus that Steffy is a Forrester and warns him to be cautious around her, telling him that Steffy has a reputation for being the smarter of Eric's granddaughters.

Eric's former sister-in-law, the unstable Pamela Douglas, convinces Steffy to spy on Marcus, who Pam is suspicious of. Upon finding Marcus' birth certificate and realising that he is Donna's son, Steffy confronts Marcus about his deception. However, Steffy keeps his secret, infuriating her father, Ridge. Eventually Donna reveals to Eric that Marcus was her son, that she had given up for adoption. Eric, at first was stunned, but he decided to accept Marcus, because Ridge, Thorne and Felicia were using him as an excuse to drive Donna out of Forrester Creations, which he wasn't about to have happen. He even told Marcus not to call him, "sir", but to call him Eric. Marcus immediately told Eric that he was on his side; which horrified and infuriated Ridge, Thorne and Felicia.

Marcus is now in charge of shipping, which makes him Steffy's boss, after Ridge, Thorne and Felicia were summarily fired by his mother, acting on power of attorney, and under the conniving tutelage of Owen Knight. At first, Steffy was infuriated with him after discovering that his mother had fired her father; aunt; and uncle. Marcus tried to convince Steffy that he wasn't aware of what she was doing, and the two teamed up to find anything on Owen. Upon failing in that avenue, Steffy was justifiably upset that Donna was running the company that rightfully belonged to her grandfather and her family. Marcus calmed her down with a kiss, the second one of their relationship.

Despite being Steffy's boss, he is still deeply in love with his mother's step-granddaughter. Marcus finally wised up to Owen's conniving and manipulation of his mother that he finally had a confrontation with him. After sharing his concerns with his aunt, Brooke Logan, and after talking it over with his mother, Donna finally let Owen go, realizing that she was acting on impulse, aided and abetted by Owen. Owen went back to San Diego, and Marcus, to celebrate, took Steffy and played hooky from work to have fun on the beach. However, unbeknownst to Marcus, Owen still stayed in Los Angeles; and convinced Donna to not sign the papers to take Eric off the ventilator. Owen convinced Marcus that Ridge was wanting to do in Eric; and Marcus confronted him. Ridge admitted what he did was wrong, but he also told Marcus to stay away from Steffy, his daughter. Marcus tried to break it off with her, but she still felt in love with him. They had a wonderful time at Bikini Beach.

Marcus however, later remembered that Eric had been given a bottle of gin from Owen, and he had suspicions that something had been put in it. He convinced Bridget that something was horribly amiss, and asked her to do a toxicology test on her father. Bridget did so, and was shocked to discover that on a blood sample that had been taken when Eric had come into the hospital, that there was a high level of poison in that sample. When she revealed the results to Owen, Donna and Marcus, that was enough proof for him to accuse Owen of poisoning Eric to get at Donna and the Forrester fortune.

Eventually it was revealed that Pamela herself had poisoned Eric with a contaminated Lemon Bar, and thanks to Marcus' investigative ability, this has allowed Ridge to relent in his opinion of Marcus, and allowed Steffy to continue seeing him, which overjoys her. However, Marcus becomes an accidental victim of the demented Pamela, when she orders him to pick up a shipment, and he is attacked by a giant cobra, which was meant for his mother.

Marcus continues his relationship with Steffy after recovering from his cobra bite. Steffy breaks up with him after becoming attracted to Rick. This attraction, a result of the death of her sister Phoebe, caused nearly every character on the show intense pain.

Marcus later dates Dayzee Leigh, a young woman who works with the homeless. However the relationship doesn't work out, and Dayzee later becomes involved with Steffy's older brother Thomas Forrester. She and Thomas end up breaking up, and Dayzee reunites with Marcus.

On June 20, 2011 Amber Moore gives birth to a baby girl. When a DNA test reveals that Marcus is the father, not Liam Cooper or Oliver Jones, it is revealed that he and Amber had a brief romance resulting in her pregnancy. They name their daughter Ambrosia Barber-Forrester, who they call Rosie.
