## Biography

### Life

Martin was born to his parents, Scott and Winifred Custard, in 1930. He had an older brother, Stewart, and a younger brother named Maynard. All three of them attended Winchester Public School for boys and boarded there. In 1939, the Second World War broke out and Martin continued to attend school as normal. His father refused to sign up for the war and was not conscripted as he was just outside the age brackets. After graduating from Winchester, Martin went to Oxford to study law. He mentions to Chapman that his father had to make a generous donation to a fund for the university after Martin failed an important exam. Martin then went to graduate school for another two years after receiving a degree in law. Once he’d completed that, Martin continued to study for two more years at law school and spent an extra year there doing another degree. This meant that he was now 27 and then he got a job working for a high-end London law firm. Martin’s father Scott suffered a heart attack in 1960. This left Martin with a third of all his father’s wealth and he continued a sleazy and carefree lifestyle. When he was thirty, Martin married his wife Penelope and they honeymooned in Las Vegas. Martin’s first child was born in 1968 and they named him Isaac Custard. In 1971, after he’d spending fourteen years at the London law firm, Martin became a criminal court judge in Manchester. A year after this, his daughter Georgia Custard was born. Even with two children, Martin was not faithful to his wife, finding other women from work and conferences to spend his time with. Martin struck it lucky again when he inherited his brother Stewart’s car sales company and half of his money after Stewart’s death in 1990. Isaac was similar to his father and also studied law at university, but at Cambridge rather than Oxford and the two got on well as adults, despite how uninvolved Martin had been in his children’s upbringing. Martin became close with Majorie Linton and her daughter Hannah in the early 1990s and was present at Majorie’s funeral in 1997. The next year, Hannah invited him to come to a fundraiser being held at the house. Martin got his hands on the alcohol that had been provided by Hannah and drank too much. Hannah asked Martin if he and Isaac wanted to leave, but both insisted on staying to celebrate the fundraising. Eventually, Martin headed into the bathroom and sat down, but died of a heart attack brought on by the overdose of alcohol. He was found dead by another guest who went to the bathroom later and an ambulance was called, but he’d already died.

### Death

Martin stood up as a ghost with his own dead body keeled over at his feet. He panicked, running straight through the bathroom door and out into the hallway, where he spotted Calvin, Chapman, John the Monk, Lizzie, Henry Carlton, Robert and Harold watching him. Martin began to freak out, because he knew that these people hadn’t been at the fundraiser before, and because Calvin was holding Steve’s head in one hand.
