{{Disambiguation|Martin (disambiguation)}}
Martin was a Colonial [[Warrior]] of unknown rank (presumably Ensign or Cadet, due to apparent demeanor) marooned on [[Equellus]] after a quarrel with [[Cylon Raider (TOS)|Cylon fighters]] in the [[Hatari]] system; similar to the situation that [[Apollo (TOS)|Apollo]] was later embroiled in several [[yahren]] later.


'''Martin''' was a [[Colonial Warrior]] of unknown [[Military Ranks (TOS)|rank]] marooned on the planet [[Equellus]] after a quarrel with [[Cylon Raider (TOS)|Cylon fighters]] in the [[Hatari sector]], similar to the situation facing {{TOS|Apollo}} several [[yahren]] later.  
Martin was injured, crash landing on the planet; [[Vella]] nursed the Warrior back to health. Vella and Martin fell in love, and from that love both had a child, [[Puppis]]. Vella stated that he was also starting to relax into the life style of an [[oviner]], though Martin apparently never quite managed to get the stars out of his head, for he used to look up at them periodically when alone. (Or so Vella & [[Bootes]] recollected.)


Martin was injured when he crash landed on the planet and subsequently nursed back to health by [[Vella]], a local [[oviner]] (rancher).  During this, Vella and Martin fell in love, were married, and had their only child together, [[Puppis]]. According to the best recollections of Vella and her brother [[Bootes]], Martin had started to relax into the local lifestyle, though he never quite managed to get the stars out of his head. From recollections of others, he used to gaze up at them from their yard with the infant Puppis on his chest.
However, upon seeing a [[Cylons (TOS)|Cylon]], whom later came to be known as "[[Red-Eye]]", Martin reportedly went berserk and attempted to kill the Cylon. Red-Eye managed to kill him first (weapon unknown) and appropriated Martin's [[laser pistol]]. ([[The Lost Warrior]])


Martin told very little of his past life as a warrior; the only time he ever opened up was on the eve of his wedding night, when he and his future brother-in-law Bootes had [[Homemade buzzer|too much to drink]].  Apparently either omitted or forgotten from these stories were the existence of the {{TOS|Cylons}}.

However, Martin's past came back to haunt him when a {{TOS|Cylon Raider}} crash landed on their planet. Two [[Cylon Centurion|Centurions]] were destroyed in the crash, but one survived, although its memory was severely damaged.  When Martin saw the Cylon, later to be known as "[[Red-Eye]]," Martin retrieved his [[laser pistol]] in order to destroy the Cylon. This attempted failed and Red-Eye felled Martin with an unknown weapon, appropriating Martin's laser pistol thereafter {{OS|The Lost Warrior}}.
