Martine and Gaerlan

Though the base of the lore around Martine is laid during the The Rise of the New Singularity Story Arc, his major role is during the Elements of Revenge Story Arc.

Martine disrupts portal space by creating a portal from the mainland of Dereth to Marae Lassel when he seeks to avenge his suffering by destroying the Virindi structures on the island.^[12] An Empyrean named [{Gaerlan]] escapes and brings him under his control.^[5]
He seeks revenge, and with the help of his minions, rakes havoc under the Isparians. ^[13] Eventually, he kills the one betraying him, Sir Mikael Alayne. ^[14] ^[15]
His madness continuing, Martine appeared as a pretty destructive character during Live events in the Hidden Vein patch, raiding several towns and other locations such as the Obsidian Plains. Sometimes he appeared friendlier, exchanging Renegade's Tokens for Quiddity Ingots ^[16]
During the Castling event, Martine appears at two of the gatherings called out by Elysa Strathelar (June 28th and July 8th), accusing Asheron of foul play, and confusing Elysa and his lost wife^[17] ^[18]
During the Repercussions event, Martine resided in Martine's Retreat. Players could hand him either the Tusker Husk or the Letter for Melaney to strengthen the Virindi or the Human influence respectively.
Martine appears a few times after the different Cores of the Cistern have been destroyed during the The Elemental Cisterns live events during the Atonement event.^[19] The final battle at September 18th between Gaerlan and Martine ends with the fall of Gaerlan's Citadel and the disappearance of Martine^[20]^[5]
Martine survives, and from his later conversations with Asheron, it becomes clear that the majority of the players handing him the Letter for Melanay, made him make his choice to side with the Isparians.^[21]
His current whereabouts are unknown, however, Martine's Robe and Martine's Mask can be found at the end of the Gaerlan's Citadel quest
