His terrorist activities included the bombing of a commuter train, the kidnapping of Secretary of Defense James Heller, causing the meltdown or near-meltdown of several nuclear power plants, the threat of which was created to keep Air Force One in the air so it could be shot down with a stolen stealth fighter.

The final attack was ultimately foiled, largely due to the actions of Counter Terrorist Unit agent Jack Bauer. At the Global Center parking garage, he engages in a gunfight with Jack and CTU Agents in which he wounds Curtis Manning. After being wounded himself and cornered by Bauer, Marwan leaps over the side of a rail in an attempt to commit suicide. Bauer manages to grab his arm and attempts to pull him to safety.

Marwan appeared in 18 episodes of season 4. Reportedly Vosloo was initially hired for only a handful of episodes but quickly impressed producers with his performance enough that they continued to extend the number of episodes he appeared in and finally kept him on for the remainder of the season. Vosloo has said in interviews his performance was based on his impression after seeing a photo of 9/11 mastermind Mohamed Atta. Vosloo felt his face conveyed a total commitment to his cause, and Vosloo in turn attempted to convey the same commitment in Marwan. Many fans have noted it was this that made him such a worthy adversary for Jack Bauer (even though the two had relatively few scenes together during the season) since Jack has demonstrated an equally strong commitment to his beliefs.

A deleted scene filmed for one episode showed Marwan saying goodbye to his wife (played by Bahar Soomekh) and young son before sending them away for their own safety. Various reasons were given for this scene being cut: the episode was too long, producers did not wish audiences to empathize too much with Marwan, and they did not want to make Marwan appear too similar to prior villains in the series who had been established as loving family men. The scene can be viewed on the season 4 DVD set. Marwan has often been credited as Raihan Habib Mirza due to the similarities in name.
