In P.Y. ??, Sir Candeth Martine was taken from his homeland of Aluvia and found himself on Dereth. On Ispar, he left behind his young daughter Aritta and wife Melanay. ref>2001/12 The First Strike - Teaser</ref> When he first arrived, he felt lost and alone. He joined The Exploration Society so he could help other new arrivals. On one mission, observing a Mosswart tribe in the Blackmire Swamp west of Sawato, he disappears without a trace. It turns out he was betrayed by his mentor Mikael Alayne, and given up to the Virindi in exchange for their help against the Hopeslayer.

Subject to the Virindi Experiments

Aerbax^{[Citation Needed]} altered Candeth into the human-virindi hybrid known as Martine. In his writings, Martine refers to the Virindi leading the experiment as "Master" and "Jean", the leading Virindi being "The Overseer" , the Virindi refer to him as "Puppet". He manages to escape from his Virindi Masters and having suffered himself so much, seeks to disrupt the Virindi experiments.

Seeking Revenge

As Martine, he played a major role in the development of the Simulacra and Dranith Menacet and the making of the Singularity Weapons . Other assignments given to Martine include the calling back in-line of an altered Mosswart Tribe and killing their chief, Arrgkh Mearrgkh.

Though the base of the lore around Martine is laid during the The Rise of the New Singularity Story Arc, his major role is during the Elements of Revenge Story Arc.

After escaping from the Virindi, he seeks revenge, and with the help of his minions, wrecks havoc under the Isparians. Eventually, he kills the one betraying him, Mikael Alayne.
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.
One of Martine's plots was to kill Borelean Strathelar by creating Simulacra in the image of the Strathelar Royal Guard. These Simulacra were also used to raid the Arcanum Research Facility, to seek the power of the elemental essences.
Martine was extraordinarily powerful, but the conflict between his own mind and the virindi-consciousness also drove him insane.
Asheron tried to heal him, but though his body seemed healed, his mind was still raving. Martine seems to blame Asheron for working together with the Directive, and being responsible for separating him from his family and swears revenge.

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. An Empyrean named Gaerlan escapes and brings him under his control.
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 Tokens for Quiddity Ingots
Martine tries to kill Asheron, almost succeeding.Growing more insane, he secretly seeks out Elysa, thinking more and more of her as his wife.>
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 confusing Elysa and his lost wife
During the Repercussions event, Martine resided 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.
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. A visit from Elysa's son Borelean roused Martine from his solitude and convinced him to aid Asheron, Elysa and all Isparians against Gaerlan. Martine appears a few times after the different Cores of the Cistern have been destroyed during the The Elemental Cisterns live events during the Atonement event. The final battle at September 18th between Gaerlan and Martine ends with the fall of Gaerlan's Citadel and the disappearance of Martine
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.
His current whereabouts are unknown, however, Martine's Robe and Martine's Mask can be found at the end of the Gaerlan's Citadel quest
