Personal History
Martinez, a human, is a gifted leader with a keen tactical mind. Driven by a desire to excel, he was tapped by Starfleet as a leader since his days at Starfleet Academy. He has always felt very deeply the loss of colleagues and personnel under his command. After the destruction of the original Grey Research Facility, he appears to have channeled his "survivor's guilt" into his work, leading his staff in a single-minded, almost obsessive effort to make up for lost time to catch up with the Tholians' own efforts to master Grey technology and the powerful tetrahedrons.
Starfleet Career
Aboard the USS Excelsior
Martinez served aboard the Excelsior as a Lieutenant and the ship's tactical officer.
Grey Research Facility
He accepted a promotion to Lieutenant Commander and transfer to the top-secret Grey Research Facility. He and small contingent of research personnel were on an Away Mission when the research station was attacked and destroyed by Orion pirates in league with Siroc and the Tholians. ("Hell's Gate, Part 1")
New Grey Research Facility
Starfleet's Grey research was stalled, and the connection between the Grey and the powerful tetrahedrons discovered by the Excelsior raised the stakes for the Federation's security. Martinez accepted a promotion to Commander to lead the renewed research effort at the new Grey Research Facility. He works with Commander Tolian Naros, Excelsior‘s first officer, to retrieve field data to assist in the research, as well as taking advantage of theories of and new discoveries by the ship's crew. ("Dancing in the Dark")
