[edit] Character history
Martin was the husband of Pilar Lopez-Fitzgerald and the two had five children together: Antonio, Luis, Theresa, Miguel and Paloma. Then one day, Martin disappeared. Pilar was heartbroken and let a candle and prayed for his safe return home. Years went by, and Martin was still missing. Luis was convinced Allistiar Crane was responsible for Martin's disappearance. Finally in 2004, it was revealed that Martin was alive and well. He and Katherine Crane (who was believed to be dead) were living in Mexico under the assumed names Bob and Ellen Wheeler after they had plastic surgery to disguise their appearance. Martin eventually made his way to Harmony and found Pilar. Pilar was angered that he had left her for a Crane. Martin's defense was that Katherine was being abused and needed to be escorted out of the States. Pilar and Martin decided to be together and renew their wedding vows. However, Pilar called off the ceremony when Katherine told her that she had slept with him the night before. Six months later, Pilar asked Martin for a divorce.
