He comes from a strange and deeply superstitious family, and his elderly cousin, Cuda is convinced that Martin inherited the same vampiric curse that has supposedly afflicted their family for generations. Martin himself is never entirely certain whether he truly is a vampire, but he desperately wants to believe that he is. He clings to the idea because it gives an explanation to his strange thoughts, compulsions, and fascination with blood, even when there are moments where he seems aware that something about his supposed vampirism does not make sense.

Martin has been living with Cuda and his adult grand daughter in Pittsburgh, attempting to adjust to an ordinary life while continuing his secret nighttime activities. He is socially awkward, withdrawn, and deeply uncomfortable around other people, often struggling to understand normal social boundaries. Despite this, he desperately wants companionship and attention. Martin spends much of his time observing people rather than actually connecting with them, becoming fixated on individuals who show him kindness or interest.

Due to his need for attention, he uses a telephone that Cuda’s grand daughter, Christina, bought for him to call a radio station and tell them of his vampiric behavior and night killings under the code name ‘the Count.’

Martin’s belief that he needs blood has become intertwined with his everyday life. He plans his nighttime encounters carefully, relying on sedatives, syringes, and psychological manipulation rather than possessing any supernatural abilities. He sees these rituals as necessary because he genuinely believes he cannot survive without blood. Whether he is actually a vampire remains ambiguous, and Martin himself seems caught somewhere between superstition and reality. He sometimes talks about vampirism as though it is an unquestionable fact, yet his behavior also suggests that he understands, at least on some level, that he is simply an unusually disturbed young man. During his encounters, beyond just sedating and taking the blood of his victims, which are almost exclusively pretty, older women, he will also commit light coital acts on them while they are asleep, in his mind, it is the only time he isn’t too shy to do the “sexy stuff,” as he refers to it.

His relationship with Cuda is complicated. Cuda treats Martin according to the family’s old beliefs, referring to him as a vampire, or “Nosferatu,” and trying to protect the world from him, even attempting to exorcise him. Martin is dependent on him but also increasingly frustrated by his cousin’s attempts to control his life. Cuda’s religious and superstitious beliefs clash with Martin’s increasingly cynical view of the world, leaving Martin caught between wanting someone to validate his identity and resenting the restrictions that come with that validation.

Outside of his nighttime rituals, Martin has begun forming small connections in Pittsburgh. He is capable of being gentle and surprisingly vulnerable with people he trusts, but his loneliness and obsession frequently overwhelm his better judgment. He has difficulty separating fantasy from reality and often interprets ordinary events through the lens of his supposed vampirism. By this point in the story, Martin is already deeply entrenched in his strange double life: an isolated young man trying to live like an ordinary person during the day while convincing himself that he is a creature of the night.

Martin is very quiet in nature, he hardly speaks to anyone verbally, usually answering people in short sentences or just a nod or shake of his head. He also takes things too seriously. If someone tells him to do something jokingly, he will most likely do or ask why they want him to do it. He lacks deep empathy and social skills, making it hard for him to get along with other people.”)}]
