    Personal History

    Marthinus is the direct descendant of Simon Huntington. He has sired 2 off-springs to follow in the family’s familiar lineage. Never married but many companions, Marthinus is a quiet man. His entire life has been dedicated to readying himself to be Ellis’ head familiar. He accepted his destiny very early in life and has never questioned it.

    Born in South Africa, he was educated abroad in the UK and US schools. He discovered his family were indentured servants to Vampires in elementary school. His father served as Ellis’ business related familiar before him. Marthinus is, however, responsible for Duibne’s leap into the Medical field and is CEO of Duibne Industries, a drug testing facility that secretly works on synthesizing blood and producing the vampire drug Eternity.

    Marthinus is currently worth 400 million dollars. He drives a BMW, wears Prada and Versace and wears no jewelry. His life is Duibne Industries and serving Ellis Duban.

    ****Werewolf history***

    Â

    Marthinus’ path was drastically changed immediately following Ellis’ Beast being stolen and the subsequent Hillman Compound’s destruction. He suffered two almost fatal heart attacks but cheated death with the illegal drug Eternity, given to him by his son Jacob against Ellis’ wishes. Once Ellis was declared dead, Marthinus decided to leave Duibine Industries and Nachton to search out the rest of the Huntington Family survivors and investors for the crippled family company.

    During one of his business meetings with Stafford Enterprises in Johannesburg, Marthinus became involved in an attack on Stafford’s home office and was mortally wounded. Iov Hammerthynn, XO of Stafford Enterprises and the Beta of the werewolf pack Kadzait, infected Marthinus with the werewolf virus to keep him alive. Hammerthynn and Marthinus returned to Nachton where he again suffered another heart attack and chose to become one of Hammerthynn’s kin.

    Now living with the Kadzait pack, Marthinus struggled to find out who and what he is. His family ties are strong with Simon Huntington, now the Leader of Tacharan but he is bound to the Kadzait and Hammerthynn who saved his life. Marthinus will have to walk a dangerous path down a thin line between vampire and werewolf worlds.
