As with everyone except [[Lifis]], Marty leaves Leif's party at the end of [[The Gate of Kelbeth|Chapter 3]]. He can be re-recruited in Chapter 8 if he was still alive by the end of Chapter 3.

Marty is a [[Brigand]] who is available for most of the game apart from the [[Munster District|Munster]] escape chapters. He has 15 base constitution, and also has the best defense growth in the game, and is tied with [[Troude]] for the best [[HP]] growth. Sadly, he has horrendous bases and growths in [[Skill (stat)|skill]] and [[speed]], with his bases in the same two stats being a flat zero. This means that he gets frequently doubled by enemies and struggles to land accurate hits against targets. His strength growth is also poor, though his base is at least decent. His high [[constitution]] growth is also a double-edged sword; on one hand, this means he will never be [[Weight (weapon)|weighed]] down by his weapons, many enemies can't [[capture]] him (all enemies, if he hits the cap of 20), and can capture/[[Rescue (command)|rescue]] almost anyone in the game. On the other hand, it will be difficult, or outright impossible for his teammates to rescue themselves. His aforementioned low skill and speed mean he won't do well capturing enemies himself either. To make matters worse for him, he shares his availability (outside of [[Mount Violdrake|one chapter]]) with his boss [[Dagdar]], who is not only a prepromoted [[Warrior]], but has tolerable base stats despite having comparatively worse growths than Marty.

Despite these unfortunate shortcomings in Marty's capabilities in the field, he's not completely hopeless. Marty's combat, while it will never be excellent, is salvageable: [[Crusader Scrolls]] can mitigate his low growths; the Ced and Od scroll are particularly worthwhile for him to use, as they give a significant boost to his otherwise lacking speed and skill growth, respectively. Marty's base [[strength]] is actually high, so he can use the [[Brave Axe]] well, patching up his doubling issues. The Brave Axe is D-rank in ''Thracia'', allowing Marty to use it with no investment. Marty's promotion bonus is also among the best in the game. Promoting to [[Warrior]] grants him a large skill and speed increase. Since these are Marty's two lowest stats, he is in desperate need of increasing them. His promotion also gives him access to [[bow]]s, granting him easy access to 2-range combat and gives a niche against enemy fliers, especially since ranged axes in ''Thracia'' (even the low rank [[Hand Axe]]) are difficult to acquire or expensive to purchase.

Marty's greatest contribution relates to his high constitution. Marty is good at taking captured units away from units who captured them. This is especially useful while capturing in the early chapters. Later on, other units can serve this purpose, but early on, Marty can get the job done well.

This is especially useful while capturing in the early chapters. Later on, mounted units will completely outclass him during outdoor chapters in this role (thanks to [[Canto]] and higher movement), but he will at least retain this niche indoors.
