Marcus Black's semblance was briefly explained in V6E9 (Lost).

He can supposedly steal semblances. A semblance like that could open up so many potential plots (the one that comes to mind is Qrow), but Marcus is dead.

As far as I remember, all we know about Marcus' death is that Mercury killed him and after the fight their house was on fire. If Mercury killed him by setting the house on fire, it's perfectly possible he's still alive.

What do we know (and what can be inferred) about the circumstances of Marcus Black's death?
