02Appearance
Martin is a large mutated mandrill with a robust build, having sturdy limbs and a small tail. Like ordinary mandrills, he has a pronounced and elongated muzzle, a pattern of grooves below his eyes, and wide and prominent nostrils.↗
Sumire 's first impression upon seeing him is that he looks like a devil. Martin has a full set of sharp teeth and pointed ears. His irises are small and light with dark pupils, though he is commonly drawn without them when attacking, making him appear more fierce. His fur is darker on his exterior and lighter on the interior. In addition, his hands and feet have sharp claws, prominent veins, and bumps on them.↗↗
03Personality
Martin is a savage beast that frequently growls and roars. He has an advanced level of intelligence since he was trained for combat, understanding commands by listening to the sound of his master's whip cutting the air.↗
Although Martin is loyal to his master, who calls him a lovable fellow, he severely injures the man's face when playing with him. His master fuels his violent and sadistic tendencies by giving him ruthless commands such as allowing him to eat humans and to kill whoever sees him. He always appears gleeful when attacking, grinning when he is given orders to dispose of children.↗↗
04Abilities
As an offspring of genetically modified mandrills forced to live in harsh environments, Martin possesses exceptional physical capabilities and resilient limbs.↗
Weapons
Martin also has several lethal weapons hidden inside his fur and stomach for defeating his prey, which he can easily pull out whenever he needs them.↗
05Story
SPOILERS
Background
In his laboratory at the Dress Organization, Dr. Kasuminome developed a drug that manipulates the genetic material within an organism's cell nucleus. After administering the drug to hundreds of animals, his laboratory created severe environments to breed them, such as a room with extremely cold air, a room with limited oxygen, a room with excessive heat, and more. Although nearly all of the animals died, some survived in the harsh circumstances.↗
Martin was then trained for combat by his master, like how the man trained killer dogs and monkeys for the military.↗↗
Baoh the Visitor
Martin jumps out from the sewers on his master's command. He instantly leaps higher than Ikuro and pulls out a spike from his fur, using it to shatter Ikuro's saber. He then slams Ikuro away with his hand, sending the boy flying into a building. Martin pulls out his grappling hook to reach the building, snaps off a pipe, and then throws it at Ikuro, impaling him through the torso.↗
While Ikuro recovers, Martin points out a mother and child who saw them. His master orders him to kill them and he gladly obliges by smashing their heads together. His master then orders him to kill Sumire, so he throws three spikes at her. Ikuro blocks it with his arm, getting pierced by all three spikes instead. Ikuro regenerates and throws a large piece of rubble at Martin but he counters it with his palm, throwing it onto the ground. Martin then emits his poison gas and weakens Ikuro.↗
