Madmartigan was the son of a noble family of Galladoorn. He was given impeccable schooling, so that someday would ascend to administrative duties of the kingdom.

However, he was far too restless, reckless and truant as a child. He would escape his lessons in the palace to visit the bazaars and became friends with a group of Eastern horsemen who taught him horseback riding and archery. At age ten, he was able to save his friends from bloodthirsty bandits by slaying them. The famed swordsman Roniro noticed his raw talent and took the boy as an apprentice and taught the lost art of sushin, but died shortly after Madmartigan reached knighthood. Madmartigan befriended Airk Thaughbaer, but never spent time with his fellow knights, preferring the company of caravan drivers.

When he fell in love with a princess and was forced to choose between breaking the knight’s code or his own heart. Not happy with a mere Knight courting his daughter, her father convinced her that Madmartigan had been cheating on her, the princess accused him for revealing court secrets to her. Thus Madmartigan lost all honor along with the armor and stature of knighthood.

As a punishment Madmartigan was led to the crow’s cage at the Crossroads where he was left to die. He was freed by Willow Ufgood, who was seeking someone to watch over baby Elora, the heir to the throne.

Madmartigan took the infant to one of his many women acquaintances but the baby was kidnapped. Willow found the baby and Madmartigan, only for the two to barely escape the tavern with their lives and the baby.

Those looking for the infant, to secure the throne for themselves. Captured the small group, while again escaping Madmartigan kidnapped Sorsha, the daughter of the reigning Queen. Through the events, the two fell in love. She turned against her mother to help him in the final battle, only to loose her life defending him.

The battle against the Queen was defeated, giving the kingdom to those worth, and in time Elora would take the thrown.

Pedro and Nasir were traveling in the small area, hearing of the small war. When they arrived in the kingdom, they found Madmartigan, head of the new Knights protecting Elora. Pedro picked up the cough that wracked his body despite the fact he hid it well.

When he confronted him, he admitted the battle would be his death, just taking a lot longer. After he got the whole story from him, Pedro gave him a new opportunity.
