During the [[Elements of Revenge]] story arc, Martine attacked the starter towns where new Isparians first land on Dereth. He destroyed all the starting locations except for [[Holtburg]], [[Shoushi]], and [[Yaraq]].<ref>2001/12 - [[The First Strike]] - [[Announcements - 2001/12 - The First Strike#Teaser|Teaser]]</ref> 
One of Martine's plots was to kill [[Borelean Strathelar]] by creating [[Martinate Simulacrum|Simulacra]] in the image of the [[Strathelar Royal Guard]].<ref> 2002/05 - [[Hidden Vein]] - [[Treatise on Essence]]</ref><ref> 2002/01 - [[Flesh and Blood]] - [[Elysa's Favor Quest#Fort Witshire Dialog]]</ref> These Simulacra were also used to raid the [[Arcanum Research Facility]], to seek the power of the elemental essences.<ref> 2002/05 - [[Hidden Vein]] - [[Treatise on Essence]]</ref><ref>2002/05 - [[Hidden Vein]] - [[Announcements - 2002/05 - Hidden Vein#Teaser|Teaser]]</ref> 
He duped [[Nuhmudira ]]into aiding him in his acquisition of raw power, in the collection of the invisible rivers' power, tapping into the so-called Ley Lines. <ref name=ChroniclesJune>2002/06 - [[Castling]] - [[Chronicles of the June Event]]</ref>
Martine was extraordinarily powerful, but the conflict between his own mind and the virindi-consciousness also drove him insane.<ref name="A Journal by Martine">2002/02 - [[Fever Dreams]] - [[A Journal by Martine]]</ref><ref name=FleshTeaser>2002/01 - [[Flesh and Blood]] - [[Announcements - 2002/01 - Flesh and Blood#Teaser|Teaser]]</ref><ref>2002/02 - [[Fever Dreams]] - [[Announcements - 2002/02 - Fever Dreams|Teaser]]</ref><ref name=MartineMask>2002/09 - [[Verdict]] - [[Martine's Mask#Lore & Dialog]]</ref> 
[[Asheron]] tried to heal him, but though his body seemed healed, his mind was still raving.<ref name=FleshTeaser>2002/01 - [[Flesh and Blood]] - [[Announcements - 2002/01 - Flesh and Blood#Teaser|Teaser]]</ref> 
His madness continuing, Martine appeared as a pretty destructive character during Live events in the [[Hidden Vein]] patch, raiding several towns and other locations such as the [[Obsidian Plains]]. Sometimes he appeared friendlier, exchanging [[Renegade's Token]]s for [[Quiddity Ingot]]s <ref name=MaggiesHiddenVein>2002/04 -[[Hidden Vein]] - [http://www.thejackcat.com/AC/Culture/Dereth/Hidden2.htm#16 Maggies Site] </ref> Growing more insane, he secretly seeks out Elysa, thinking more and more of her as his wife.<ref> 2002/03 - [[Persuasion]] - [[Announcements - 2002/03 - Persuasion|Teaser]]</ref><ref name=MartineMask>2002/09 - [[Verdict]] - [[Martine's Mask#Lore & Dialog]]</ref>><ref>2002/06 - [[Castling]] [[Announcements - 2002/06 - Castling#Teaser|Teaser]]</ref><ref name=Josef>2002/07 - [[Repercussions]] -[[Josef#Lore & Dialog]]</ref> 
Martine tries to kill Asheron, almost succeeding.<ref> 2002/05 - [[Hidden Vein]] - [[Treatise on Essence]]</ref><ref name=Josef>2002/07 - [[Repercussions]] -[[Josef#Lore & Dialog]]</ref> During the [[Castling]] event, Martine appears at two of the gatherings called out by [[Elysa Strathelar]] (June 28th and July 8th), accusing Asheron of foul play, and again confusing Elysa and his lost wife.<ref name=MaggiesCastling> 2002/06 - [[Castling]] - [http://www.thejackcat.com/AC/Culture/Dereth/Elysa.htm Maggies Site]</ref> <ref>2002/06 - [[Castling]] - [[2002/06 - Queen Elysa's Ceremonies|Teaser Videos]] for the [[Castling]] event </ref> 

=== Martine and Gaerlan ===

Martine disrupts portal space by creating a portal from the mainland of [[Dereth]] to [[Marae Lassel]] when he seeks to avenge his suffering by destroying the Virindi structures on the island.<ref> 2001/10 - [[Dark Majesty]] - [[Microsoft Zone Archive/Asheron's Lore/A Brief History for Travelers|A Brief History for Travelers]] - [[Dark Majesty--Harvestgain, PY 12 (Mid-October, 2001)]] </ref> An Empyrean named [[Gaerlan]] escapes<ref name=Josef>2002/07 - [[Repercussions]] -[[Josef#Lore & Dialog]]</ref> and at first, seems to want to help him.<ref name="Pack Martine">2004/11 - [[On Bended Knee]] - Pack Martine</ref> Gaerlan stays in [[Martine's Retreat]].<ref name=GaerlanDiary>2002/07 - [[Repercussions]] - [[Gaerlan's Diary]]</ref><ref name=Josef>2002/07 - [[Repercussions]] -[[Josef#Lore & Dialog]]</ref> With his assistance, Martine creates [[Dranith Menacet]] and plans for the assassination of Borelean.<ref name=Josef>2002/07 - [[Repercussions]] -[[Josef#Lore & Dialog]]</ref>Gaerlan is also the one reinforcing's Martine's ideas about the Isparians planning to kill him and his "son" Dranith Menacit.<ref name=Josef>2002/07 - [[Repercussions]] -[[Josef#Lore & Dialog]]</ref> 

In secret, [[Gaerlan]] starts experimenting with Elemental Magic and creates the elemental cisterns to rise his Citadel.<ref name=GaerlanDiary>2002/07 - [[Repercussions]] - [[Gaerlan's Diary]]</ref> [[Gaerlan]] reveals his motives and goals by attacking Asheron directly, and the role Martine played as his pawn becomes clear. This results in Martine falling into a deep depression.<ref>2002/07 - [[Repercussions]] - [[Announcements - 2002/07 - Repercussions#Rollout Article|Rollout Article]]</ref><ref>2002/08 - [[Atonement]] - [[Announcements - 2002/08 - Atonement#Rollout Article|Rollout Article]]</ref> During the [[Repercussions]] event, Martine could be found in [[Martine's Retreat]]. This location opened up after the final killing of [[Dranith Menacet]]. Players could hand him either the [[Tusker Husk]] or the [[Letter for Melaney]] to strengthen the Virindi or the Human influence respectively. 
A visit from Elysa's son Borelean roused Martine from his solitude and convinced him to aid Asheron, Elysa and all Isparians against Gaerlan. <ref name="Pack Martine">2004/11 - [[On Bended Knee]] - [[Pack Martine]]</ref><ref>2002/08 - [[Atonement]] - [[Announcements - 2002/08 - Atonement#Teaser 1|Teaser]]</ref><ref>2002/09 [[Verdict]] - [[Announcements - 2002/09 - Verdict#Rollout Article|Rollout Article]]</ref>
Martine appears a few times after the different Cores of the Cistern have been destroyed during the [[2002/08 - The Elemental Cisterns|The Elemental Cisterns]] live events during the [[Atonement]] event.<ref>2002/08 and 2002/09 - [[Atonement]] - [[2002/08 - The Elemental Cisterns|The Elemental Cisterns]], [http://www.thejackcat.com/AC/Culture/Dereth/Cisterns.htm The Cisterns on Maggies Site]
</ref>
The final battle at September 18th between [[Gaerlan]] and Martine ends with the fall of Gaerlan's Citadel and the disappearance of Martine<ref name=MaggieCisterns>2002/09/18 - [[Atonement]] - [http://www.thejackcat.com/AC/Culture/Dereth/Cisterns.htm The Cisterns on Maggies Site]</ref><ref name="Pack Martine">2004/11 - [[On Bended Knee]] - [[Pack Martine]]</ref> 
Martine survives, and from his later conversations with Asheron, it becomes clear that the majority of the players handing him the [[Letter for Melanay]], made him make his choice to side with the Isparians.<ref>2002/09 - [[Verdict]] - [[Announcements - 2002/09 - Verdict| Teaser Part 2]]</ref> 
During a live event, a battle ensued between Gaerlan and Martine at the top of Gaerlan's Citadel; Martine was slain. [[Martine's Robe]] and [[Martine's Mask]] can be found at the end of the [[Gaerlan's Citadel]] quest.
