Duke Martin of Crydee is an archer and former ranger in Betrayal at Krondor. He appears in Chapters 5 and 7.
Background
Martin is the illegitimate son of Duke Borric, and brother of Prince Arutha conDoin and King Lyam I. He is married to Briana. He is known as the best archer in the Kingdom of the Isles, and defeated Baron Gabot's men in the archer's tourney at LaMut.
Manual
The game manual notes that Martin, a former ranger, is a man of few words, awkward in the presence of others and preferring to avoid strangers. He wears his black hair in a short pony tail and has elegant hands and narrow, strangely exotic eyes which seem as though they could see through solid objects. His magnificent elven bow is always with him, and he is much sought after for his knowledge of scouting.
Chapter 5
The party meets with Martin on the King's Highway south of Northwarden, in the general vicinity of the fork branching south and west. He gives them several tasks, providing a new one when they report to him that the previous one is complete: poisoning moredhel Rations in nearby riddle chests; finding Tamney the Minstrel; retrieving battle plans from Raglam; and rooting out a nest of nearby moredhel spellcasters.
- Crossbow
- The party can receive an archery lesson which raises their Accy: Crossbow Skill by +10.
Trivia
- Although in the book series Martin's specialty was the elven longbow, significant as a difficult weapon for humans to use, he provides crossbow tips in the game.
