Martin was born to Nathan Riggs and an unnamed woman on April 20th, 1983. He grew up being friends with Molly Hendricks, and becoming the best friend of Jake Voss.

#### Growing up and Losing his mother

When Martin was growing up, he was a reckless kid, that got in trouble from time to time with the law with his best friend Jake Voss. But during the time of his mother getting sick, who had a rough time growing up. After his mother's death, his father, Nathan, grew to be hateful and abusive towards his son Martin. After a while, Martin's father was close to killing him, and Martin's best friend shot him in the back of the head, and he survived somehow, and his best friend went to jail for it.

#### Becoming a Navy SEAL and becoming a cop

Riggs is a Navy SEAL veteran, and is able to shoot from a long distance, especially with a sniper rifle. The Navy SEALs is also where he received specialized training in weaponry, tactics, and hand-to-hand combat skills. These skills would later serve him well when he became a police officer.

Some years later, he joined the El Paso County Sheriff's Office in El Paso, Texas, and was eventually partnered up with Jenkins in the Narcotics Division. Around the time he became a cop, he met a beautiful woman named Miranda Delgado, and eventually married her. According to Riggs, Miranda was really good to him and "gave him something to live for," which implies that she was one of the very many things in his life, other than his occupation as a police officer, that kept his life going well together. However, after some years of their marriage, when they were close to having their first baby, September 15th, 2015, she was killed in a car crash, which sent him into a deep depression.

#### Moving to Los Angeles

Having recently suffered the tragedy of the recent death of Miranda, and their unborn baby, he transfers to the LAPD in Los Angeles and starts life over again moving from El Paso, Texas. There, six months later, March 2016, he is partnered up with 22-year veteran LAPD Detective Roger Murtaugh in the Robbery/Homicide Division, after foiling an attempted bank robbery. He thinks they'd make a great team, but Murtaugh thinks otherwise for now, due to his suicidal thoughts. But, along the way, he seems to be turning his suicidal thoughts around as he's found something to live for: having Murtaugh as his partner, and having been accepted as family by the Murtaugh's, and for Miranda's family, who live in L.A., especially his father-in-law Ronnie Delgado, and even for Miranda herself.

As of recently, Riggs has found out that the Flores drug cartel, he and Murtaugh and Palmer have been investigating, was and is connected to Miranda's death. Once he had learned this and that she was killed, by Flores' henchman Gideon Lyon, for revenge on his father-in-law, Ronnie, because he refused to cut a deal with Flores, Riggs had traveled to Mexico to avenge her death. With the one-on-one dual between Riggs and Lyon, and Riggs killing Lyon, and later traveling to Mexico to kill Tito Flores, who ordered the hit. Riggs captured Flores, and was going to finish him off, but it went south. Flores was later killed by his second-in-command, Raul Mendez. Riggs realized, one way or another, he has avenged Miranda and was able to put his demons to rest and get on with life once again.

#### The Transfer to a different Department

After 2 years with working with Murtaugh, he was transferred to a different department of the LAPD and partnered with Chloe Decker investigating a singer named Delilah who was shot and murdered, and Riggs then questioned a nightclub owner, Lucifer "Lucy" Morningstar
