Initially, John does not appear to value his services, saying he will contribute "nothing but delays."

Martin initially comes off as nervous and unassuming, and frequently takes on a nurturing role among the archival staff. He is an avid tea-drinker and regularly offers cups to his co-workers, especially John, of whom he is very fond. Although Martin cares very deeply for the people around him, he is a notably lonely person. Despite his efforts to make friends, he is not regarded well by his co-workers due to his poor work performance and is not known to have positive ties to anyone outside of the Archives.

Martin is very practical, often making preparations that those around him do not think to.[2][3] Martin is often underestimated, something he takes great offence to, but which he also uses to his advantage at times.[4][5][6] He is very sensitive and enjoys writing poetry, but is also easily hurt. He has a very animated manner of speech.

Martin is not known to use a specific label for his sexual orientation, but is attracted to men.

In MAG 22, Martin describes himself as "not exactly the smallest guy in the world" when talking about climbing through a small basement window, and he is implied to be less skinny than Melanie.[7]

While taunting John in MAG 165, Not-Sasha describes Martin as looking "very comfortable" and "positively roomy".

Martin is stated to look almost exactly like his father, whose appearance is unknown.[8]

When compared to Timothy Stoker, Basira Hussain calls Tim "the hot one."[9]

Martin was born around 1987.[10] His mother is chronically ill and lives in a care home in Devon.[11] His father abandoned the family when Martin was about eight or nine years old, and at seventeen he dropped out of school to care for his mother.[8][10]

He struggled to find a job and started to lie on his CV. Martin eventually landed a job at the Magnus Institute after claiming to have a master’s in parapsychology. He worked in the library and was transferred to the Archives by Elias Bouchard when Jonathan Sims was promoted to head archivist.

He first meets John after accidentally letting a dog into the Archives.[12]

Martin is frequently mentioned alongside the other archival assistants during statement follow-ups. He is remarked as being notably worse at his job than Tim Stoker or Sasha James.

He is trapped in his apartment in Stockwell by Jane Prentiss from the end of February to March 12th, when he returns to the Archives and gives a statement. On John's suggestion, he moves into the Archives.[13]

He worries about Jane Prentiss, particularly as her worms start to show up in the Archives. As a precaution, he takes to carrying a corkscrew to better extract the worms from flesh, and he hides CO2 fire extinguishers in old case file boxes.

On July 29, 2016, Prentiss attacks the Institute. Martin is trapped with John until Tim breaks down a wall and leads them into the tunnels. As they flee from the worms, he becomes separated from the others and he eventually stumbles upon the body of Gertrude Robinson.
