Personnel File

Martin is secluded and quiet Terran man about 31 years of age, 183cm (~6') tall, and 59 kg (~131 lbs). He is a workaholic, and literally never stops until he drops. He has few friends and no hobbies. He doesn’t reveal too much of his childhood willingly, but he does open up to good friends, which he has trouble making due to his grim and non-outgoing nature. He has brown hair, brown eyes, an average complexion and wears a light sort of armor when he must, though more often than not a basic Freikorps uniform is enough for him. Most of the heavy-duty protection to his person is hidden, so most people tend to underestimate him due to his appearance and quiet demeanor.

What is strange in regards to Brigadier as an NPC is that he is, quite accidentally, taking on the role of Zeth's second, a role the char of Edmond Rivit had originally been created for.

Personal History

Martin's childhood is by all accounts nondescript. He was born and raised on Capita Station around Terra Magna. After joining the Freikorps Marines as an ambitious but dependable and trustworthy young man of 21, and met his wife there. From 2254 to 2257, he was married to a young woman named Shaina. In an undisclosed incident, his wife was killed. Martin spent the next 5 or 6 months in a severe depression, and afterwards vowed to never marry again. Instead, he developed an unmatchable devotion to his work.

The Freiheit Exercise

While Brigadier is never specifically mentioned during the exercise, it is assumed that he is one of the five officers selected as Zeth Holt's personal entourage.

The Stahlhelm Exercise

Main Article: Stahlhelm Exercise

Martin's accidental role of "second" to Zeth was actively put to the side, or at least attempted to be, in the Stahlhelm Exercise. In the exercise itself, Brigadier was assigned the role of platoon leader, while Rivit was assigned the role of "Command Assistant" to Zeth Holt, who was leading another platoon and coordinating with Brigadier's group and two others. Throughout the course of the exercise however, Brigadier's command was alternatively given to a higher officer, Tanooki Mario, and then returned, basically leaving him in a state of limbo as far as the story was concerned. In an attempt to kill 2 birds with one stone, Zeth simultaneously wrote Brigadier into a position of command that, while technically still putting him at the head of his own platoon, also put him in a subordinate position similar to that of Rivit. This allowed for Zeth to continue utilizing the Martin Brigadier character for actions he would otherwise be unable to do (such as deliver messages and implement communication field repair protocols) and maintain a more direct control over the troops in Brigadier's command.
