**Martin Queller** was a famous businessman and owner of QuellCorp. He had problems with his wife, who wanted to take his children away from him when they were young. He was known for being strict, possesive, and powerful, especially with his daughter Jane Queller. When he met Nicholas Harp, he immediately felt he had bad intentions towards both him and his daughter.

## History

Annette, Laura's mother, wakes her daughter up and puts her in her car with her brothers. She tells them that they were going to a big lake without their father. Martin walks to the car and tells them all to get out, threatening to lock her up. Annette starts singing to the radio and threatens to run him over. The oldest child opens the lock for himself and his siblings, so they get out of the car.

Years later, Martin has dinner with all his children where Nick was invited. Jane tells Andrew that she wants to see him more often, but the latter complains that she is always on tour. The brothers all fight as Nick tells Martin that he is studying economics and is interested in finance and how it corrupts people. When Martin asks about his father, he says that he was a drunk who beat up his mother, which made him see that he would have to fight for things on his own.

Some other day, Martin is watching the news, where it is said that the Laboratory had been bombed. Martin asks Jane to come in, asking her where she had been and wondering if she had driven down to see Andrew or Nick. She tells him that he does not need to worry about her. He says that he is hosting a little gathering in the spring and wants her to play Chopin.

Playing pool, Martin asks Nick how school is going. He says that he is getting by and would be finishing in May, so Martin asks what his plans were because there might be a place for him at his company. As Jane hands him a whiskey, he says that he knows he was from Detroit, his father worked at a factory and that Nick Harp is dead, having died from an overdose four years ago. He asks Nick who he really is, which he says is ridiculous, but Martin asks if he really thought he was just going to waltz out with his daughter and her trust fund. Nick says that he is very serious about Jane, which Martin says does not surprise him since everybody would want to marry a Queller. Nick tells Martin that he does not want anything from him because he is a gangster and everything he owns has blood on it. He leaves and asks Jane if she would go with him. Jane follows him and tells Nick that her father was being protective, asking if what he said was real. Nick ignores the question and asks if what they have is real; Jane says it is, so Nick says that she should have his back and they should get out of there. He asks her to choose between him or her father so that she could live life on her own terms or she would never see him again.

In the past, Jane tells Mrs. Barfield that she misses Nick and wonders if her mother would have liked him. However, she is told that all that was over. Martin reaches Jane and gives her a necklace which used to be her mother. He says that since she was less busy, they could now add more places to her tour because they do not need anyone else. Jane reaches the piano and starts playing. Once she finishes, Martin hugs her and says that nights like that one are all he wants. After that, Jane walks away to a car. She opens the door and crushes her hand with it.

Jane looks through papers when she is approached by Jasper, who knows that she is still seeing Nick. Martin walks in and says that he told the board Jasper would be hosting the company Christmas party since Jane would be joining him in Oslo. Jasper leaves and Martin tells Jane to relax, since she needed to take care of herself. He hands her a drink as he takes one as well, asking how her hand is. She says that it is better and says that she was so clumsy. Martin asks if Nick had given her the idea to ruin her career, saying that nobody would hurt her anymore because she belongs with him.

At Oslo, Martin approached who he believed was Alex Maplecroft and talked to her about her beliefs, telling her that she was wrong. The debate started at the International Economic Forum, where Jane and Nick were also present. Halfway through the debate, Martin realized that Maplecroft was really Grace Juno, who got up and shot him repeatedly, killing him instantly.
