Martin

Martin is a half-faery half-spriggan appearing in Rebel and Arrow and later in Swift and Nomad. He is the love interest of Ivy, the protagonist of the The Flight and the Flame trilogy.

Appearance and personality
Martin is lean and blond with a sly sense of humour and a questionable amount of loyalty to his evil mistress. Underneath his manipulative nature and glittering charm, Martin has a heart and a surprisingly complicated history.

Early life
Martin's first memory was being hit by a car. Because he had no known family, he was placed into foster care. From the ages of eleven to thirteen he was cared for by an old woman - she allegedly fed him the same food as her cats and called him the devil. At some point he attemted to steal her money, and in retaliation she chased him with a wooden spoon, causing Martin to react violently by willing the dishes to fly around the room and crash into the walls. According to Martin, she then appeared to have a heart attack; the last time he saw her was when she was being driven to hospital in an ambulance. The money Martin stole didn't last long, though and soon he had found himself living in one of the "grimier parts of London". It was here where the Empress found him.
