Martin

==Biography Before That Day==
Martin lived on the 3rd floor of the tall apartment building, that became known as MGR, along with his wife, Julie and son, Chester.  Martin spent 10 years as a welder in the Auburn Lake community in a shop near the grocery store. 
==Biography After That Day==
Martin stayed home with his family on June 23, 2010, and having had access to his welding equipment, he barricaded the entrance doors to their apartment building, securing the safety of himself and others through the initial months of the zombie return. Eventually, along with the help of his wife, he was forced to weld the doors to both the 3rd floor and 5th floors when fire killed those on the lower floors, and illness took those on the 5th floor. He was almost killed a month prior to their rescue when the rope ladder he'd been using to help forage for food broke. He was rescued by the Auburn Lake Preparatory Academy survivors and moved to the Jones Road Farm. Martin quickly integrated himself into the Auburn Lake Preparatory Academy team and showed his talent by pimping out the HRT (having not been impressed with Blake's work), making a grave marker for Gilbert and assisting the survivors in obtaining more welding tools and supplies from the shop he worked at. Martin was initially nervous around guns, perfect on the safety, but twitchy on the trigger, sending all his shots slightly to the right. After practice with Adrian he has become more comfortable and currently carries Gilbert's AK47. When Martin was forced to confront his turned boss, he asked to be the one to take care of him. Martin was injured in a routine fuel run, where he broke a toe and received a nasty bruise above his groin. He is currently working on plans to reinforce the bottom doors of MGR, and leading the team building the wall defense around campus. He has since moved from the Jones Road Farm to Hall B with his family.  Martin has plans to search surrounding towns with Blake to find strong wire and clamps to secure the repeater tower to the roof of MGR.
